60% off Stacksocial courses with coupon

For a limited time, coupon code PREZDAY60 gets you a 60% off discount on classes and courses at the Stacksocial website. The physical goods (eg consumer electronics) are NOT eligible for the coupon for obvious reasons. If you are not sure whether something would qualify, their shopping cart is the ultimate decider. I believe a Stacksocial account is needed to test the coupon in their shopping cart.

For physical goods and such, coupon code PREZDAY15 gets you 15% off those eligible products. Again, their shopping cart is the ultimate decider…
