You should use a coupon for membership. Then order two courses, and apply another coupon.
This way, the membership is discounted. And you get another coupon for a couple of courses.
That's how I did it for the majority of my courses, I bought two courses and applied one coupon.
Unless of course, the coupon allowed it for just one course, I did that too...

None of the coupons worked for me for just a membership. I might put off Straighterline.

AH.
They told me I couldn't stack discounts, and I wondered if there was another way around. So, (too late now, but a thought exercise that might help others) could I sign up for membership using a discount, then go in and apply for classes using discounts?
I couldn't find a coupon code that would work just for the membership. In order for "HOMESCHOOL50" to work, I had to pay for membership *and* one class at the same time. That was the only way the code would work. (It was the same scenario for every other code I tried to use.) So, apparently, there isn't a coupon code that will work *just* for membership. But, after I paid for membership + one class (using coupon code "HOMESCHOOL50"), I was able to go back and buy another class in a second transaction (using coupon code "CONGRATS50"). Hence, two courses + membership for $138. Score!
P.S. I don't suppose anyone knows of any other codes that might work for a third transaction? Might as well get it while the gettin's good!

They sometimes have membership codes - for a while MEMEBERSHIP50 worked for $50 off membership. Keep in mind they add and take away codes all the time, so it's a bit of a game staying on top of the SL codes! LOL

The second code just expired at midnight and required a membership being in the cart, so it wouldn't have worked for students with active memberships.

Yeah, they didn't work for me either. But, I did use EZSAVE & it took $20 off another course.

I just used the code: MATCH50 on one course and paid $9. It's supposed to be one of those two courses in the cart deals. Ymmv.
