Checkout Tips Before You Submit
Because these offers may use different codes, take a minute to review your cart before completing the order. Tiny freebie checkout errors are annoying, and we are not donating our peace to a promo code box today.
- Use FORETHELS for the bandana.
- Use FORETHELS for the lapel pin.
- Use ONTHEGO for the luggage tag if prompted.
- Check the embroidered patch product page because it may already show as free.
- Only one promo code may work per order.
- Confirm shipping, tax, and final total before placing your order.
- If the total is not what you expect, do not submit the order.
Is This Offer Guaranteed?
No. These items can sell out, promo codes can stop working, and offer terms can change at any time.
The safest move is to open the item you want, add it to your cart, apply the correct code if needed, and only place the order if your final total looks right.
