You can find our monthly discount code by visiting the Affiliate Blog. The new codes are announced at the end of every month, and can be easily found using the search feature on our blog. Along with the blog post announcing the code, you will also find new banners which you can use on your own blog or other social media site. Please use the following steps to place a banner on your blog:

1) Simply save the banner image to your computer:

2) Upload the saved image to your blog as a picture 

3) Insert your affiliate link as the URL. 

For sites such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, which don’t allow you to place a banner, simply include the code with your affiliate link and explain the discount to your viewers.
