Getting your discount to show up at checkout is straightforward once you know where to look. Highlights makes it easy to apply savings with their clearly marked discount section.

How to Enter Your Code

1. Add your magazines or products to the shopping cart and proceed to checkout

5. Double-check your savings appear in the order summary before finalizing your purchase

Troubleshooting Code Issues

If your code isn't working, make sure you're typing it exactly as received and check that it hasn't expired. Most Highlights promotional codes come through their email newsletter or special campaigns, so signing up for their mailing list keeps you in the loop for future offers.

Save $56 with the brainPLAY + Highlights Bundle

The Bundle & Save option delivers serious value for families with puzzle-loving kids. Instead of paying $119.82 for both subscriptions separately, you'll get the brainPLAY + Highlights Magazine combo for just $63 — that's nearly 50% off the regular price.

What You Get in the Bundle

This bundle works perfectly for kids who flip straight to the Hidden Pictures puzzles in their magazines. You're getting brainPLAY's 32 pages of brain-teasers and logic puzzles plus Highlights' full mix of stories, experiments, and activities. Both magazines ship free, and you can manage both subscriptions through one account, making it easier to track deliveries and renewals.

Magazine Subscriptions Ship Free Forever

Unlike many subscription services that quietly add shipping costs, Highlights includes free shipping on all magazine subscriptions — and that savings continues for as long as you subscribe. Your first issue arrives within 4 to 6 weeks via regular U.S. mail, with no additional fees tacked on.

What Qualifies for Free Shipping

This free shipping policy applies to:

• All magazine subscriptions — Highlights, Hello, High Five, and brainPLAY
• Automatic renewals — No surprise shipping charges when your subscription continues
• Gift subscriptions — Send magazines to multiple addresses without paying extra delivery fees
• Special delivery timing — Even December Delivery for holiday gifts ships at no extra cost

Merchandise Shipping Options

For merchandise orders, standard delivery takes 1 to 2 weeks and may include shipping fees, but you can upgrade to Express Delivery for $8 or Rush Delivery for $25 if you need items faster.

Highlights Cash Rewards Program

Highlights Cash works like a store credit system that lets you earn rewards on qualifying purchases and redeem them during specified periods. You'll receive opportunities and unique codes via email that you can use at checkout for discounts on future orders.

How to Redeem Your Rewards

The program is straightforward: make qualifying purchases, earn Highlights Cash during promotional periods, then redeem your earned credit when the redemption window opens. The cash isn't legal tender and can't be refunded, but it stacks nicely with existing subscription discounts to maximize your savings on educational content.

Save 49% on Your First Activity Box

The High Five Activity Box Subscription offers hands-on learning for ages 3-6, and new subscribers can try their first box for just $20 instead of the regular $39 price. That's nearly 50% off to test whether the tactile activities work for your child.

Each Activity Box includes age-appropriate crafts, games, and learning activities that complement the magazine content. If your child loves the first box, you can continue the subscription at the regular price, or cancel if it's not the right fit — no long-term commitment required.

Holiday Gift Timing Made Easy

During the pre-holiday season (typically September through October), you can select "December Delivery" when adding a subscription to your cart. This option lets you time gift subscriptions perfectly for holiday giving without paying extra for expedited shipping.

The December Delivery option works for all magazine subscriptions and ensures the first issue arrives in mid-December rather than the standard 4-6 week timeframe. It's perfect for grandparents who want to give a year of educational entertainment that keeps giving long after the holidays are over.

Flexible Payment Options

Highlights accepts major credit cards, PayPal, and Amazon Pay, giving you flexibility in how you pay for subscriptions and merchandise. Your credit card is only charged when your order ships, not when you place it, which helps with budgeting timing.

PayPal users can take advantage of "Buy Now, Pay Later" features for larger orders, and Amazon Pay makes checkout faster if you're already logged into your Amazon account. For bulk orders (like classroom subscriptions), Highlights also accepts purchase orders, making it easier for schools and organizations to manage payments.

365-Day Satisfaction Guarantee

Highlights backs every purchase with a full year to decide if you're satisfied — that's 365 days to return merchandise if it doesn't work for your family. The 100% satisfaction guarantee means you're never stuck paying for content your child doesn't enjoy.

Refund processing takes 2-3 weeks once you contact customer service, and the policy covers both individual subscriptions and bundle deals. This guarantee makes it virtually risk-free to try new magazines or upgrade to bundle packages, since you can always return them if they're not the right fit.

Automatic Renewal Benefits

The Continuous Service feature automatically renews your subscription at the end of each term, charging your credit card on file until you request to stop. While this ensures uninterrupted delivery, it also saves you money compared to reordering manually.

You'll receive an email reminder 30-45 days before your credit card is charged for renewal, giving you plenty of time to make changes or cancel if needed. The automatic renewal often includes subscriber pricing that's better than new customer rates, plus you avoid the hassle of reordering and potential shipping delays.

Newsletter and SMS Perks

Signing up for Highlights email gets you family activity ideas, new product announcements, and special offers that aren't available to non-subscribers. You can also opt in for SMS marketing messages for additional promotions, though consent isn't required to make purchases.

Email subscribers often receive exclusive Highlights Cash opportunities and early access to seasonal sales. The newsletter content includes free activities and parenting tips, so you're getting value even between purchases.

Customer Support at Highlights

Getting help with your subscription or resolving order issues is straightforward with multiple contact options. Whether you need to change delivery addresses, pause subscriptions, or process returns, customer service can handle most requests quickly.

• Phone support: 1-800-255-9517 for immediate assistance
• Email support: [email protected] for non-urgent questions
• Online help: Visit shop.highlights.com/customer-service/ for self-service options
• Subscription changes: Call 1-888-372-6433 to modify automatic renewal settings

For subscription management, you can discontinue automatic renewal at any time during your subscription term, and customer service can help you switch between age-appropriate magazines as your child grows.
