Applied a Vacation Tracker coupon and hit an error? Before you reach out to Support, there are a handful of common causes worth checking first — most of them you can fix in 30 seconds.

## Before You Contact Support, Check These

- Spelling. It's easy to misread an O for a 0 or an I for a 1. Copy-paste the code straight from the source instead of typing it manually.

- Caps Lock. Coupon codes are case sensitive. If Caps Lock was on (or off) when you typed it, that alone can make the code fail.

- Expiration. Every coupon has a validity window. If the code has expired, it can't be reactivated — you'd need a fresh one.

- Usage limits. Some codes can only be used a set number of times. If a shared code has already been redeemed up to its cap, new uses will be rejected.

- Who issued it. Make sure the code was actually issued by Vacation Tracker. Codes from third-party partner newsletters or unofficial sources won't work on our billing page.

Tip

When pasting a code, select just the code itself — trailing spaces from a copy-paste can sometimes cause the system to read it as a different string. If in doubt, retype it manually with Caps Lock off.

## Still Not Working?

If everything above checks out and the code still fails, reach out and we'll sort it. Include the exact code you're trying, a screenshot of the error, and your account email — it helps us diagnose faster.
