Tonies, the company behind the Toniebox, gives teachers 20% off on its US store at us.tonies.com. Its teacher and military discount page says teachers, nurses, healthcare workers and members of the military community save 20% on all purchases when shopping on tonies.com, and you verify with ID.me during checkout.
If there’s a Toniebox or a few Tonie figures on your list for your own kids, a niece or a nephew, here’s how the verification works, who Tonies counts as a teacher and what the fine print says about combining it with anything else.
How To Get The Toniebox Teacher Discount
The teacher and military discount page says to add the products you’d like to your cart and click “Checkout.” On a desktop, the next step is to click the green ID.me button, which takes you to ID.me’s eligibility page and lets you continue checkout. On mobile, you click the “Show order summary” dropdown after clicking checkout, and the green ID.me button is there.
The page says that once your credential is verified, you immediately receive your offer within checkout at tonies.com. We didn’t go through the ID.me step ourselves, so we can’t tell you what it asks a teacher to upload or how long it takes.
One detail on the wording: the page describes the offer as 20% on all purchases in one sentence and as “a 20% discount on your next purchase” in another. It doesn’t say how many orders the discount covers, so look at your total before you pay.
Who Counts As A Teacher
The program page lists Teachers as Classroom Teacher, Principal or Assistant Principal, School Employee, and College or University Professor. Tonies’ support article gives a longer list: Certified Teachers, Certified Teacher Aides, Certified Teaching Assistants, Certified Educational Assistants, School Employee, Lifetime Teaching Credential Holders, College/University Professors, Speech Pathologists, School Administration, and Principal or Assistant Principal.
The two lists don’t match, so if you’re an aide or a speech pathologist, the support article is where you’ll find your role named. ID.me’s Tonies listing shows the same 20% off for Teachers.
What Can’t Be Combined
The support article says the ID.me discount cannot be stacked or combined with other discounts or promotions. The program page says nothing about sale prices, so we can’t say whether one counts as another promotion. Check the order summary before you pay.
The page also answers the question about providing your discount to non-eligible friends with a no: the program is only for eligible members. It doesn’t say anything about buying a gift with your own verified discount, so we can’t tell you where Tonies draws that line.
US Orders Only
The support article says that through its partnership with ID.me, eligible teachers, military members, nurses and healthcare workers get 20% off their orders on us.tonies.com, and that this is only valid for the US. We didn’t check the Tonies stores for other countries, so don’t assume the offer follows you there.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
Neither Tonies page mentions Black Friday, Cyber Monday or other holiday sales, so we can’t say how the discount behaves during one. They don’t say whether it works on sale items, and they don’t list any products that are left out. We didn’t place an order, so we haven’t seen the discount applied in a cart.
