ESPA has two tiered discount codes that reward larger shopping trips, plus a bundle deal, seasonal sales, and a first order discount for newsletter subscribers. The $50 off code when you spend $200 is the headline offer on the page and gives you the bigger saving if you reach that spend threshold.
Spending $160 to $199: The $20 off code works best for orders in this range. On a $180 order, for example, the $20 code brings you to $160, saving you $20. You could also browse the seasonal sales and clearance, but unless those sections have items you wanted anyway, the $20 code is the straightforward choice.
Spending $200 or more: The $50 off code takes over as the better deal. On a $250 order, the code reduces your total to $200, saving you $50. Compare this to the $20 code on the same basket, which leaves you at $230. The $50 code wins by $30.
Buying from the clearance section: The clearance sale offers up to 50% off specified items. If you are buying clearance merchandise, calculate your total after the markdown first. A clearance item at 40% off, for example, might bring your whole order below $160, in which case no code applies. If the reduced total still clears the $160 or $200 threshold, layer the discount code on top. Compare the final result to what you would pay using the $20 or $50 code alone.
Buying from spring essentials: The spring essentials sale takes up to 25% off selected styles. Apply the same logic as with clearance: work out the total after the sale markdown, then see whether the $20 or $50 code gives a better final price.
Buying three travel size items: If you are buying three deluxe mini travel essentials, the bundle code gives you all three at the price of two. This discount applies automatically at checkout, so take it unless the $20 or $50 code saves more money on your total basket.
Spending over $150: The complimentary body brush and tote bag set applies automatically when you spend more than $150. This is a gift with purchase, not a cash discount, so it stacks with the $20 and $50 codes. If you want the gift, you get it regardless of which discount code you use.
First time customer signing up: The newsletter signup gives 15% off your first order. On a $160 order, this saves you $24, beating the $20 code by $4. On a $200 order, it saves you $30, matching the $50 code exactly. For first time customers, compare the newsletter discount to the tiered codes on your basket size and take whichever leaves the lower total.
Choose between the offers that fit your basket by calculating the final price under each one. When you have narrowed it down to two options on the same order, pick the one that reduces your total further. The body brush and tote bag gift applies on top of the discount codes, so factor in the $150 spend threshold if you want the gift.
