My discount from IDMe Shop isn't working

If your discount from IDMe Shop didn’t apply at checkout—or your promo code isn’t working—follow the steps below to troubleshoot. This article explains how to confirm your verification, check eligibility, retry the discount, and reach the right support team.

Note: IDMe Support can help you verify your community status but cannot assist with applying discounts, promo codes, or troubleshooting checkout issues. For problems redeeming a discount, you’ll need to contact the retailer or brand directly.

1. Make sure you’re verified for a discount

To get a community discount, you must first verify your status with IDMe. Make sure you successfully verified for your community status:

  1. Go to IDMe My Wallet and sign in.
  2. Select Manage IDs.
  3. Under Active IDs  look for the community you verified (e.g., Nurse, Military, Student)

2. Check if the discount is eligible

Item eligibility 

  1. Go to IDMe Shop.
  2. Search for the brand or retailer in the search bar, then select it.
  3. Under “Restrictions”, read what is and isn’t included in the discount. 

Some brands don’t allow multiple discounts. Others exclude certain items or product categories.

Community eligibility

  1. Go to IDMe Shop.
  2. Enter the brand or retailer name in the search bar.
  3. Select the brand or retailer.
  4. Under “All Offers”, ensure the community you verified displays.

Some discounts may be restricted to specific sub-groups (e.g., active duty members only, not veterans).

Promo code tips

If a promo code is required, make sure:

  • You entered it exactly as shown (case-sensitive).
  • It hasn’t already been used.
  • It applies to the items in your cart.

3. Try the discount again or enter the promo code

To try again:

  1. Find the discount in IDMe Shop and select the discount.
  2. Add the item you want to your cart, then go to checkout.
  3. In checkout, select the IDMe button, sign in, and follow the prompts.

4. Confirm you shared your info with the retailer

After verifying your community status, you must share that information with the retailer.

To check:

  1. Visit Finding who you shared your information with.
  2. Look for:
    • Website name (e.g., Puma, Stanley)
    • Authorized (date and time you shared your info)

If the retailer doesn’t appear, return to IDMe Shop and follow the steps to re-verify and click through to share your info.

5. Know who to contact for help

Use this table to find the right support team based on your issue:

Issue Who to Contact
Discount didn’t apply at checkout Retailer or brand
Promo code doesn’t work Retailer or brand
Certain items not discounted Retailer or brand
Order issues (cancel, refund, exchange) Retailer or brand
Trouble verifying your community (e.g., nurse, military) IDMe Support
Can’t sign in to your IDMe Wallet IDMe Support

Sample message to contact a retailer

If you’ve verified successfully and shared your info but still can’t access the discount, you’ll need to contact the retailer. Here’s a message you can use:

I verified my [Community] status using IDMe on [Date] to receive a [Discount Percentage] discount with your store. However, the discount or promo code isn’t working. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

More issues with discounts or promo codes

The discount isn’t working for a specific brand (e.g., Stanley, Puma, FIGS)

If your discount or promo code isn’t working for a specific brand, check the brand’s eligibility requirements in IDMe Shop. Some discounts are limited to certain communities or excluded items.

If you’ve verified your community and still can’t access the discount, contact the brand’s customer support directly for help. For example:

I need to cancel or modify a purchase

To cancel or modify a purchase, contact the retailer directly. IDMe Support cannot help with canceling or modifying purchases.

I live in Canada and couldn’t get a discount

For residents in Canada:

  • Search “Canada” in IDMe Shop for eligible discounts.
  • Access discounts through the Canadian version of the retrailer or brand’s website.
  • Ensure your wallet reflects Canadian residency; U.S. verifications will not apply.

I’m a hospital employee and not sure what discounts I am eligible for

Hospital employees who work at a hospital, medical facility, or health care facility, but who do not fall under the medical or nurse community, may still qualify for discounts. To find what discounts are available, go to IDMe Shop and search “Hospital employee”.
