I had HOLIDAYCHARGE10DR pop up when I opened the mobile app. It is a $10 credit toward your next charge. Both codes were able to be loaded to my account...

I also added WINTERDRIVE5DU that I apparently wasn't aware of previously (I already know of the other two WINTERDRIVE10DR and WINTERDRIVE5DR codes).

Update--oddly enough I was able to add the HOLIDAYCHARGE5DU code twice; no I'm not hallucinating or mistaken--I had $20 remaining in my EVgo account, then after adding HOLIDAYCHARGE5DU, HOLIDAYCHARGE10DR, WINTERDRIVE5DU, then HOLIDAYCHARGE5DU a second time, my balance is now sitting at $45. And in case anyone was thinking about trying it--my attempt to add HOLIDAYCHARGE5DU a third time was unsuccessful. ;-)

So what're y'all doing to avoid the activation fees, do y'all use the aaa account membership?
Yup that's what I use--I have the AAA NorCal plan which includes no monthly or session fees.

Thanks! The $10 code worked for me too!
Quote from General_Klinger :
Do these promo codes disappear from the account once used?

I still show the ones from last month I added, but I've already charged up there and the promo codes are still showing up.
Yeah they remain listed in the Active Promos section of the Promo Code menu in the app even when/once redeemed, but when the promo codes eventually expire they get moved to the Expired Promos section. Maybe it's a way of letting you know you've already redeemed that particular promo in case you attempt to take advantage of that specific promo a second time.

Keep in mind though that the dollar amount for some if not many of these promos, once added to your EVgo account typically have a 30-day use it or lose it expiration.

I couldn't get either WINTERDRIVE10DR or WINTERDRIVE5DR to work, just the HOLIDAY and HERTZ codes. Nice job stacking the codes!

ChargePoint should help you and are free if you use the EVgo app.

Dang that sux...and seemingly a bit odd; is your home way out in the suburbs or not anywhere near a dense metro area? I guess luckily/fortunately for me, there is a 350 kW EVgo location 4 minutes (and only 1.5 miles) away from my home (I'm in the Sacramento, CA area).

Wonder if it's because the number of total redemptions has been reached for those codes; from what I've read elsewhere, many EVgo promo codes have a fixed/limited number of redemptions available.

This thread has been extraordinarily helpful to me. Was able to stack 3 codes for $10 in credits (hey, if you saw a $10 bill on the ground,wouldn't you stop to pick it up?) and 1 year of discounted charging with no session fees. Many thanks to OP, Tonester and ANSHULA8127.

Thanks everyone who helped with the promotion codes. Is there any way to see the expiry dates of these codes in the app? It says they expire in 30 days after redemption but I dont remember the redemption dates for some of the codes that I had added in the past. Sorry, first time user of the app here, so not sure.

So it seems like if I won't use the app for the next couple of months there is no point in adding the codes? Sometimes in CA I find renting an EV is cheaper but my next trip is beyond the 30 days.
