How to Purchase With Discounts

You can save a bundle of money if you purchase with discounts. Your buying habits and affiliations determine what discounts are available.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Using Cards and Memberships You Already Have

1. Call your affiliations (credit cards, travel clubs, memberships etc.) to see if you are entitled to discounts on products and services. Have them send you a pamphlet with details.

2. Call the retailers that accept the discounts and verify their participation.

3. Present the applicable cards/memberships and photo I.D. at the time of purchase.

Retailers and Wholesalers

4. Talk to the managers of the wholesale and retail stores you frequent if you buy in bulk or own a business.

5. Ask if you can receive discounts for buying five or more of the same item, especially a high-priced item.

6. Ask for business discounts if you are a retailer or wholesaler.

7. Ask if you can get a discount for paying invoices promptly.

8. Get all discount promises in writing, and present them at time of purchase.

Tips & Warnings

• Get big discounts by joining buyers groups. Enter "buyers groups" into your Internet search engine.
