Tips for Hot Topic Shoppers

• Sign up for the Hot Topic email newsletter to stay on top of things. Hot Topic will let you know about new products landing on the site, when the next sale will hit, and even send you exclusive coupons.

• Don’t miss out on discounts, sales, or clearance with the Hot Topic Sale page. You can filter the products to show exactly which categories you’re interested in, too.

• Buy now and pay later. Why miss out on the exclusive merchandise that you want just because you don't have enough cash in hand right now? Hot Topic partnered with Klarna, which lets you buy today and make payments later.

• Save 10% on all purchases with the Hot Topic military discount. Customer service representatives are available over the phone at (800) 892-8674. They can help you order over the phone and get the discount or apply the discount to your online account. Hot Topic also offers a military discount for those stationed overseas and will mail their packages via Priority Mail. You need to provide your military ID number to qualify for this discount.

• Always check the bottom of your Hot Topic receipt for a survey code. You can visit the website listed and enter the code before filling out a short survey about your recent experience. Hot Topic will often send a 10% off code to you when you complete the survey. The site may enter you into a contest to win a gift card, too.

• As Hot Topic often charges for shipping, you may want to save money through the pick up an in-store program. When you shop online, choose the “Store Pickup” button rather than adding your home address. Some Hot Topic stores also offer curbside pickup, which lets a worker run your order out to you when you arrive.

• Find exclusive deals and offers through the Hot Topic app, which is compatible with both Android and iPhone devices. Once you sign up and create an account in the app, Hot Topic will send you coupons based on your orders. You can use it to check on the status of a recent order and get full access to all Hot Topic sales and exclusive coupons, too.

• Have a local Hot Topic near you? Use the store finder to find out. You can benefit from local sales, discounts, and clearance by visiting one in person.

• The Hot Topic homepage often has banners for the latest and greatest sales and promotions. Check back regularly to see what they’re offering.
