Discount codes are standard in this market and most firms run at least one continuously. Using them is sensible; choosing a firm because of one is not. Three checks turn a code from a headline into a number you can compare, and all three take about a minute on the firm's own pricing page.
Check what the code applies to
Most codes reduce the first purchase of an evaluation and nothing else. They commonly exclude resets, activation fees where a firm charges them, and any funded-stage charges. Since resets are what most traders buy repeatedly, a code that does not touch them changes your first month's cost and not your annual one. The exclusions are usually stated at checkout rather than in the advertisement.
Check the final price, not the percentage
Apply the code to the specific account size you intend to buy, at each firm you are considering, and compare the totals. A larger percentage off a higher list price frequently loses to a smaller percentage off a lower one, and the from-prices firms advertise, such as TradeDay's accounts from just $45 and Uprofit's evaluations from $130, are for the smallest sizes rather than the one you probably want.
Check that the code has not changed the plan
Some promotions attach to a specific plan rather than a price, and the plan carries the rules. A discounted plan can carry a different drawdown shape, a different contract limit or a different payout condition from the one you were comparing. Since the drawdown shape is the term that decides whether an account survives, a code that quietly moves you onto a different plan is worth more attention than the money it saves.
Questions people ask about prop firm discount codes
Where do prop firm discount codes come from?
Firms publish them directly and affiliates distribute them. This site marks links that can pay it a commission and quotes prices from firms' own pages with the date read.
Do codes work on resets?
Usually not. Resets are typically excluded, and they are the charge that decides your cost over a year.
Does a code affect the rules?
It can, where the promotion attaches to a particular plan. Confirm the drawdown shape and contract limit on the plan you end up buying.
