AMain Hobbies takes codes in the shopping cart, in the field labelled "Redeem a Coupon Code or Gift Card", or during the payment step of checkout.
The newsletter discount of up to $50 off comes by email, so sign up before you build the cart.
If you return part of an order, the coupon discount is split evenly across every item on it, so the refund on a returned part is lower than its sticker price.
Clearance items sit outside both free shipping and Super Saver Shipping, which changes the math on a cheap clearance buy.

Minimum order: "10% off Your Order of $20 or More" needs an order of at least $20; "$50 off Your Order of $550 or More + Free Shipping" needs an order of at least $550.
