I have been offered a 20% discount through my employer via one of your partners, Perks at work
I am a new "personal" customer (I have never had a personal plan), though I previously had a business account through my last job that is no longer in use by me.
I am accessing the website as a new user -- I am not logged in. When I open an entirely new Chrome window and navigate to https://shop.ee.co.uk/sim-only with no VPN in use, and choose the plan "Essential SIM Unlimited Max" (which is 31 GBP/month and has no discount on it at all), then I get to the checkout and apply my discount code and get this error: "Sorry, that voucher’s not valid".
Any ideas how I can proceed? I want to use EE as my provider, but I'm not going to pay full price when I have an offer that should very well work.

Hi @jsharps85.
This is the first time that I've heard of Perks at Work. Is your employer registered for our EE Perk Discount?

Hi @Christopher_G ,
I don't believe they are registered with EE Perk Discount since when I tried to sign up, I never received the email to verify my account.
I did call customer service yesterday and the agent was able to help me -- they did see that the promo code I was trying to use should be valid, and they weren't sure why code didn't work on the website. They confirmed that the plan I was trying to purchase should be eligible for the discount. As the code is "online only", they could not use it directly to sign me up, but found a way to get me the same discount by phone using a different code.
I believe there is some sort of issue with your promo code validation, as it seems that a handful of codes that should be valid do not work on checkout. I had a similar issue using a discount code from TOTUM. No matter what I put in my basket, the code did not work on checkout.
It is probably worth looking into your end. Luckily, the customer service agent I spoke to was extremely helpful and found a way forward for me.

Thanks for coming back to let us know, @jsharps85.
I'm glad our customer service team were able to help you get the discount and for you thoughts on the reason why this was happening. We'll look into it.
