History Main / DiscountCard

* One of potential [[PlayEveryDay daily tributes]] in ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'' is a coupon that gives between 20% and 75% discount on the next [[{{Microtransactions}} platinum purchase]].

* In ''VideoGame/MegamanLegends 1'' and ''2'', if you do nice things like donating money, repairing cities, kicking trash to the garbage can, Roll will offer discounts on your upgrades/purchases, as well as getting a lighter armor.

* ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' has the discount card which, as its name implies, gives you a discount on ''all'' shops by 20%. This is a rare drop by Pirates during a pirate invasion and takes up an accessory slot to get the discount. Normally it wouldn't be anything too major, but since some items are completely unique to NPC venders such as purification powder, yellow pressure plates (a unique variant of pressure plate not found in a game world), and certain crafting tables as well as some items being findable but rare like bullets, this item is actually very helpful for maintaining an inventory.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonXandY'' has the similar "Bargain" O-Power, which grants a 10%, 25% or 50% discount on items for 3 minutes depending on the power's level. In addition, there's the event-only Discount Coupon item, which grants a discount when shopping for clothes.

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona''

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', Tonberry possess abilities that allow you to receive discounts and sell for a higher price at every shop in the game.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', shops will give a discount on their wares on certain days.
** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', Shiroku will give discounts on rainy days and Margaret will give discounts depending on how much of the Persona Compendium you have completed. ''Golden'' has Daidara giving discounts if you catch him still in his store on rainy nights.

** In ''[[VideoGame/CastlevaniaChroniclesOfSorrow Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow]]'', the Tsuchinoko soul gives a 20% discount on shop purchases. ''Finding'' the soul is another business, though...

Also, this tends to be one of the perks of a HundredPercentHeroismRating or a local favor in you AllianceMeter.

** ''[[VideoGameRemake Rebirth]]'' adds a variation in the form of the consumable Credit Card: using this item in a shop (or [[Main/CastFromHitPoints Devil Room]]!) allows you to grab every item in the room for free.

* In ''VideoGame/MegamanLegends'' ''1'' and ''2'', if you do nice things like donating money, repairing cities, kicking trash to the garbage can, Roll will offer discounts on your upgrades/purchases, as well as getting a lighter armor.

* ''VideoGames/TeamFortress2'': In Mann vs Machine, Medics can purchase upgrades for their Medigun that would discount the price of Power Up Canteens to a minimum of 5 credits.

** Mocked hilariously and ''ruthlessly'' in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' with the "Compliment Card" you are given if you purchase enough items from Beedle's Shop. You would expect it to be some manner of discount card, but it ''literally'' makes him just shower you in compliments and finish with remarking that praise is rather nice sometimes.
* In the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' games, your [[BadassMustache Stache]] stat gets you a discount (as well as increases your chance of a CriticalHit).

* Some ''VideoGame/{{Tales|Series}}'' series games feature consumables that reduce prices next time you shop; while others have a "shop rating" score (either universal or individual to each shop) that goes up as you do business. A higher shop rating increases your discount, representing either a "frequent customer" discount or the party getting better at haggling.

* Military ID cards. You would be ''amazed'' the discounts, freebies, and special services you will be offered if you whip one of these out.

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Shepard can get a discount from stores by convincing the shop keepers. In The Citadel's case, he/she can get discounts there by giving the store an endorsement, saying it's his/her favorite store on The Citadel. Funnily enough, this can be done with ALL the stores on the Citadel.

* Another Creator/BioWare example: If you hand the rakghoul serum over to the kindly doctor running the free clinic instead of the crime boss, the doctor gives you a discount at his shop. Now, seeing that you have low hit points at this juncture and can't self-heal, this is more useful than it looks, especially if you can shake down the inexhaustable Pazaak shark in the Lower City.

* In the ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi'' games, your mustache stat gets you a discount (as well as increases your chance of a CriticalHit).

* ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'' has the valuable UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} Sale item, which reduces the prices of all items in shops for the rest of that playthrough. Strangely, the Steam Sale itself can appear in shops.
** The remake, ''The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth'', adds a variation in the form of the consumable Credit Card; using this item in a shop (or [[Main/CastFromHitPoints Devil Room]]!) allows you to grab every item in the room for free.

Compare MoneyMultiplier, which makes purchasing easier from the other sid.

Also, this tends to be one of the perks of a HundredPercentHeroismRating.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' merchants occasionally offer discounts for helping them out. In Goodsprings, the starting town in ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', you can get a discount from the bartender for fixing her radio.
** This is the purpose of the Barter skill in the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series. It also allows you to buy from vendors at closer to cost as well as sell items to them at closer to their true worth. It can also be used in speech challenges when bribing an NPC or getting them to part with information for less than they'd normally charge you.

* ''Franchise/DragonQuest''

* Some ''Franchise/{{Tales|Series}}'' series games feature consumables that reduce prices next time you shop; while others have a "shop rating" score (either universal or individual to each shop) that goes up as you do business. A higher shop rating increases your discount, representing either a "frequent customer" discount or the party getting better at haggling.
