Retailers seeking to entice customers to shop with them sometimes offer discount codes that shoppers can redeem on the retailer's website. The codes are punched into the computer at checkout, similar to shoppers handing a coupon to a cashier at the register in a traditional store. Redeeming promotion codes, as well as gift cards, on websites like Amazon.com is not hard if you follow the directions and know just where to enter the information.
