How do I use my discount code?
If you have a Busbud discount code, you can apply it to your booking prior to finalizing your payment.
How to apply your discount code
On the website
- Select your trip and proceed to checkout.
- On the payment page, look for a field labeled “Promo code,” “Discount code,” or a link that says “Have a promo code?” under the Order Summary or Payment section.
- Enter the code exactly as it appears (avoid extra spaces) and click Apply.
- Confirm the discount appears in the Order Summary and your total updates before you complete payment.
In the mobile app
- Choose your trip and continue to the Payment screen.
- Tap “Have a promo code?” or “Add discount.”
- Enter the code and tap Apply.
- Verify the discount is reflected in the total before finalizing your booking.
Troubleshooting
- Double-check the code: remove spaces, confirm characters, and ensure there are no typos.
- Check expiration: make sure the code hasn’t expired and is within the one-year window.
- Verify usage: confirm the code hasn’t already been used on a previous booking.
- Confirm eligibility: ensure your trip, fare type, and items in the cart meet the code’s terms.
- Try technical fixes: update the app, try a different browser, disable ad blockers, or use incognito/private mode.
- Log in: make sure you’re signed into the correct account that received the code.
How to confirm your discount
- Before paying, check the Order Summary for a line showing the discount and reduced total.
- After booking, your confirmation page and email should reflect the discounted amount.
Important information
- Discount codes can only be used once.
- Discounts cannot be applied after you have booked your ticket.
- It is not possible to use discount codes received from trip operators on Busbud.
Cancellations and changes
- If you cancel a discounted booking, the code is generally considered used and may not be reissued automatically.
- Changing your booking after purchase may remove the discount if the new itinerary isn’t eligible. Contact support for options.
