Aveda doesn’t have a teacher discount, so a school ID won’t lower the price. The best way to save is cash back. Rakuten gives 2% back on Aveda orders, Fluz gives 1.5% when you pay with a Fluz virtual card, and TopCashback gives 1%. Rakuten is the one to start with because it pays the most and it’s the simplest to use.
If you’re stocking up on shampoo for yourself or buying a gift for a colleague, here’s how each route works and the one rule in Aveda’s fine print that decides whether you can use a promotion and cash back together.
How To Get The Aveda Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher rate to claim, so here’s how to get cash back instead:
- Join Rakuten, which is free.
- Find Aveda on Rakuten and click through to Aveda’s site from there.
- Shop and check out as usual. You’ll earn 2% back.
- Check the total at checkout before you pay.
Cash back rates change, so look at the percentage on the Rakuten page the day you shop. Rakuten pays nothing on gift card purchases, so a gift card for a coworker won’t earn anything there.
Comparing The Three Cash Back Routes
Rakuten gives 2% back. Fluz gives 1.5% when you buy through a Fluz virtual card, and TopCashback gives 1%. TopCashback also excludes gift card and e-gift card purchases, pays on the item price only (so taxes, shipping and other fees earn nothing), and asks you to start with an empty cart.
TopCashback also excludes welcome coupon codes sent from Aveda. If you sign up for Aveda’s emails to get 15% off a first purchase, you’d have to pick between the welcome code and the cash back on TopCashback.
The Rule On Cash Back And Promotions
The fine print on Aveda’s current promotions says the discount may not be used in combination with third party loyalty, reward or cash-back programs. In plain terms, when you’re buying something with an Aveda promotion on it, a cash back site might not pay out. Read the fine print on the promotion you’re using before you click through a cash back link.
Other Ways To Save At Aveda
Anyone can get free standard shipping on orders of $55. Joining Aveda’s email list gets you 15% off a first purchase of $10 or more. If you set up auto-replenishment, the second order and every one after it is 10% off. Aveda Plus Rewards costs a one-time $10 to join, so do the math before you pay it for a single order.
Aveda doesn’t offer teachers anything beyond these, so these and the cash back above are your options.
