The Great Courses' headline offer is an extra 20% off your order, which works across most of the catalog and provides the broadest savings for most shoppers. The brand also runs category specific deals and bundle offers, so the best choice depends on what you're buying and how much you're spending.
On smaller orders under $80: If you're picking up just one course, the 20% off sitewide deal is your best bet—it applies to digital and DVD courses alike. If you're specifically interested in one of the 2 select DVD courses for $80 bundle, that fixed price might still edge out 20% off a more expensive single course, so compare at checkout.
Buying two digital courses: The 2 select digital courses for $60 is a fixed price offer that can beat 20% off if you're choosing from those specific titles. Run the numbers with your basket at checkout to see if this bundle saves you more than the standard 20% discount.
Orders between $80 and $150: The 20% off your order deal remains your strongest option across most products. However, if you're buying two DVDs from the select bundle, the 2 for $80 offer might be competitive depending on what the items normally cost.
Orders over $150: At this spend level, switch to the 30% off orders over $150 deal—this edges ahead of the standard 20% off and gives you significantly better value on larger purchases. Calculate both discounts in your basket to confirm, but 30% off will typically be the winner for spending above the $150 threshold.
Specialist categories: The Great Courses runs extra deals on specific interests. If you're buying The Great Tours, you'll find 20% off those courses. Food, travel, and drinks courses have promotions up to 25% off, so check whether your picks qualify for these category specific savings—they may outperform the sitewide 20% offer.
Digital courses only: There's an extra 10% off digital courses available if none of the tiered or category offers apply to your selections. Similarly, 10% off digital and extra 10% sitewide offers exist as fallback options. These are worth checking if your specific courses don't trigger a higher percentage discount.
Free shipping: The free 2 day shipping offer on all orders can add value if you're buying physical DVDs, so factor in what you'd normally pay for shipping when comparing your total savings.
At checkout, you can only combine one discount offer with your purchase, so compare the final price under each relevant deal and pick whichever produces the biggest reduction. Your cart will show you the savings in real time as you apply each option.
