Paula’s Choice gives teachers 20% off eligible items at PaulasChoice.com, verified through ID.me. Its ID.me Exclusive Discount page lists Teachers alongside Military, First Responders, Nurses and Medical Providers, and its FAQ says the offer is US only.
If you’ve been meaning to restock your skin care, or you’re buying for a colleague who’s hard to shop for, 20% is worth a few minutes in your bag. The part to read before the holidays is what the discount leaves out, since kits, sets, sale and new items aren’t covered.
How To Get The Paula’s Choice Teacher Discount
The discount page breaks it into three steps: Add Items to Cart, Verify with ID.Me, and Complete Verification. The FAQ adds the detail. To get started, set up your account on ID.me. Then add the items you want from PaulasChoice.com to your bag and select View Bag. In your bag, expand the “Verify with ID.me” drop down on the lower right and log in to your ID.me account. Once you’re logged in, qualifying products show discounted strike-through pricing in your bag.
If you don’t see your discount, the FAQ says to make sure you’re logged into your ID.me account by using that same drop down at the lower right of your shopping bag or checkout. For anything else about ID.me itself, the FAQ points to the ID.me help center.
Who Counts As A Teacher
The FAQ says the following community members are eligible for this discount: Military, First Responders, Teachers, Nurses and Medical Providers (US only). It doesn’t define the word Teachers, so it doesn’t say whether college instructors, classroom aides, substitutes or retired teachers qualify. ID.me does the verifying, and we haven’t been through it, so we can’t tell you what it asks a teacher to show.
What The 20% Covers
The FAQ says prices are as marked on eligible items. Kits, sets, sale and new items, as noted on the applicable product pages, are excluded. If your holiday list includes a kit or a set, check its product page before you count on the 20%.
The offer can’t be applied to previous purchases or auto-replenishment orders, so verify before you order, not after. It also can’t be combined with other discounts or offers. Paula’s Choice runs sales of its own, and the page doesn’t say which one applies when a sale and the teacher discount both could, so look at your bag before you check out.
The discount applies to in-stock items only, with no rain checks, and to domestic orders only. International orders and shipping aren’t eligible.
Cash Back Through ID.me
ID.me’s store page for Paula’s Choice lists 20% off for Teachers, which matches Paula’s Choice’s own number, and it also lists up to 3.5% cash back. It warns that the use of coupons and promotional codes not on ID.me may void cash back. That’s ID.me’s rule, so read it before you add a code from somewhere else to a bag you’re verifying through ID.me.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
The discount page gives no end date and doesn’t mention holiday terms, and Paula’s Choice’s special offers page loaded without its offer tiles when we read it, so we can’t tell you what’s on it. We also can’t say whether the ID.me cash back is paid on top of the 20%, or whether the discount works in a store, since the page only describes adding items to a bag on PaulasChoice.com. We didn’t verify through ID.me or place an order.
