Some programs provide coupon codes that offset application fees. If you received a coupon code from your program, use the information below to apply it to your payment.
Note that you cannot redeem a program's coupon code after you submit your application to them. Additionally, if you miss a program deadline due to waiting for a coupon code, you must request a deadline extension from your program, not OTACAS.
Using a Coupon Code
You can apply your coupon code(s) when you are ready to submit your application.
- Click My Programs in the top right of the application.
- Click the Submit Programs button.
- Review your program selections and click Continue.
- On the payment page, click the plus icon for Coupon Codes and enter the coupon code you received from the programs.
- Click Add.
- Complete the rest of the payment details pages.
Note the following:
- When a coupon code equals the total transaction amount, you don't need to enter additional payment information.
- When a coupon code is less than the total transaction amount, you'll need to enter payment information for the additional balance.
- When a coupon code is more than the total transaction amount, you don't need to enter additional payment information. However, you'll forfeit the remaining balance offered by the coupon code, as OTACAS will not issue credits or carry remaining balances forward.
- A coupon code cannot be applied to chargeback fees.
If you used a coupon code when submitting to a program, the code will be listed under Payment History.
