Zenni promo codes and offers, explained: what each one really saves
Three offers, three different rules. For two similar pairs, the second-pair code wins; for one pair, the first-order 15% does.

Which Zenni promo code should you use? Right now Zenni has three offers on our list: code BOGO40 takes 40% off a second pair when one pair is $50 or more, new customers get 15% off a first order of $65 or more, and standard shipping is free from $65. Zenni’s terms say its discount codes “may not be combined with other offers”, so most shoppers get one code per order. A percentage tells you what a code takes off. It doesn’t tell you what it takes off your order, so we did the sums in dollars.

The short answer
Buying two pairs? Use BOGO40 if your cheaper pair costs at least 60% of the dearer one. Below that, a new customer saves more with the 15% first-order offer. BOGO40 ends November 11, per Zenni’s banner.
Buying one pair? If you’re new and the order is $65 or more, the 15% first-order offer is the only code that applies, and the same $65 gets free shipping.
Free shipping at $65 isn’t a promotion. Zenni’s terms date it to May 2024, and it combines with the codes.
How each Zenni offer works
Buy one pair of glasses, get 40% off the second · REAL DEAL
Code BOGO40, part of Zenni’s Holiday Kickoff Sale, takes 40% off a second pair, as long as one pair is $50 or more. The 40% is measured against the second pair’s price, not the whole order.
A real saving when both pairs cost about the same, and twice what the code it replaced offered.
The catch: it only helps if you want two pairs. Zenni’s terms put the 40% on the pair of equal or lesser value, count regular-priced items only (not sale items, accessories or gift cards), and say it “may not be combined with other offers”. It runs November 2 to 11, website orders only.

15% off your first order, $65 minimum · REAL DEAL
Zenni’s banner offers new customers 15% off a first order of $65 or more. Its terms page lists a matching New Customer Welcome Offer, code WELCOME15, running April 20 to December 31, 2026, for “first-time purchasers” and usable once.
The best code for one pair, if you have never ordered from Zenni and you reach $65.
The catch: new customers only, $65 minimum, and a long exclusions list in Zenni’s terms, including the $6.95 frames, designer-branded frames, accessories, contact lenses and gift cards. It doesn’t apply to tax, fees or shipping.

Free standard shipping on orders $65+ · ORDINARY
Orders of $65 or more ship free with standard shipping, no code needed. Zenni’s terms say the offer has run since May 6, 2024, with no end date, for US and Canada orders.
Useful, but it is Zenni’s standing threshold, not a sale. Don’t pad an order to reach it unless you wanted the extra item anyway.
The catch: the $65 counts “qualifying products”, and gift cards don’t qualify.

Which Zenni promo code saves the most?
It depends on how many pairs you buy and how close their prices are. Here are three example orders. The pair prices are made up for the sums, and Zenni’s real totals depend on frames, lenses and coatings.
Example order
BOGO40 (40% off 2nd pair)
15% first order (whole order)
Better for a new customer
One pair, $70
Doesn’t apply
$10.50 off
15% first order
Two pairs, $80 + $80
$32 off (20% of the order)
$24 off
BOGO40
Two pairs, $90 + $40
$16 off (12% of the order)
$19.50 off
15% first order
The rule behind the table: 40% of the second pair beats 15% of the whole order when the second pair costs at least 60% of the first. Two $80 pairs pass that test easily. A $90 pair with a $40 backup pair doesn’t.
If you have ordered from Zenni before, the first-order offer is gone and BOGO40 is the only one of the three that takes money off. Free shipping still applies from $65 either way.
One comparison surprised us. Under GET20, the code BOGO40 replaced, the second pair got 20% off. Because the second pair can never cost more than the first, 20% of it is at most 10% of the order. So for a new customer at $65 or more, the 15% first-order offer always saved more than GET20 did.
Can you stack Zenni promo codes?
Mostly no. Each discount code on Zenni’s promotion terms page that we read on November 5, including BOGO40, WELCOME15, GET20 and the app-only FIRSTAPP, carries the same line: “May not be combined with other offers.” So BOGO40 and the 15% first-order offer are a choice, not a pair.
Free shipping is the exception. Its terms say it “may be combined with other offers as long as minimum order threshold is met.” Check whether the $65 is counted before or after your code comes off; the terms speak of $65 worth of qualifying products in the cart.
What we’ve seen on our daily checks
We read Zenni’s homepage each morning for our deals list. From those records:
The second-pair code changed once in five weeks. GET20, 20% off a second pair, was in every Zenni entry of our change log from September 25 to November 1. On November 2 it was replaced by BOGO40, with a printed end date of November 11.
The 15% first-order offer and free shipping at $65 never moved on any check from September 25 to November 5.
A printed end date isn’t always the end. A separate code, ZENNI20 (20% off orders of $99 or more), showed “Ends 10/11” from October 8 to October 11. On October 12 it was still there with no date. By October 14 it was gone.

ORDINARY (standing threshold)
BOGO40 also fits a pattern in Zenni’s own November calendar. Zenni’s blog announced a “BOGO 40% OFF” early Black Friday offer, code EARLYBF24, for November 18 to 24, 2024. A Slickdeals post quoting Zenni’s terms shows code EARLYBF25 with the same 40% for November 17 to 23, 2025. This year the 40% arrived about two weeks earlier.
When each offer is worth it
Use BOGO40 for two pairs at similar prices, such as everyday glasses plus prescription sunglasses, before November 11.
Use the 15% first-order offer for a single pair of $65 or more on your first Zenni order, or for two pairs far apart in price.
Skip both if your order is a single $6.95 frame. The first-order terms exclude those frames, and BOGO40 needs one pair of $50 or more.
Coupon pages for Zenni list codes such as “50% off sitewide” with no terms. We couldn’t find them on Zenni’s promotion terms page, so they aren’t here. Zenni’s terms also list a 20% off $75+ code for new text-message subscribers, sent as a unique code. We don’t list it, because it can’t be checked without signing up. Zenni’s October Savings Pass ended October 31, and its Halloween flash sale ended November 1.
How we checked
Our morning run read Zenni’s homepage twice on November 2, 2026, and we read Zenni’s promotion terms page the same day at 12:50 PM ET. We read both again on November 5, 2026 at about 4:30 PM ET, before publishing, when BOGO40’s own terms had been posted. The history above comes from our own change log, kept since September. We don’t place test orders, so the dollar examples are arithmetic, not receipts. Retailers can’t pay to be listed. Our full method is in how we check a deal, and every offer we list today is on all deals.
FAQ
Does Zenni have a promo code for a first order?
Yes. New customers get 15% off a first order of $65 or more. Zenni’s terms list it as WELCOME15, valid through December 31, 2026, and usable once.
Can you use two Zenni promo codes on one order?
No, not two discount codes. Zenni’s terms say its codes may not be combined with other offers. Free shipping from $65 is the exception and applies alongside a code.
Is Zenni’s BOGO really buy one, get one free?
No. It is 40% off the second pair with code BOGO40, as long as one pair is $50 or more, until November 11. Zenni’s terms put the discount on the pair of equal or lesser value, and it doesn’t combine with other codes.
Does Zenni have free shipping?
Yes, free standard shipping on orders of $65 or more to the US and Canada, with no code. Zenni’s terms date it to May 6, 2024, with no end date.
Do Zenni codes work on the $6.95 glasses?
The 15% first-order offer doesn’t; Zenni’s terms exclude $6.95 frames. At $6.95 a pair, a code would save very little anyway.
