A completion discount is money off whatever's still on your registry after the wedding, so you can buy the things guests didn't. They're one of the best wedding registry perks, and the rules differ a lot. Here's how each wedding registry completion discount works in 2026.
Zola: 20% off, as often as you like
Zola takes 20% off the Zola gifts left on your registry for six months after your wedding, applied automatically at checkout, and you can use it again and again. To qualify, create your registry at least 30 days before the wedding and receive at least one gift by the wedding date.
Amazon: 20% off one order
Once your Amazon Wedding Registry has $500 or more in qualifying purchases, you get a one-time 20% discount on a single order of select items shipped and sold by Amazon. It covers up to $1,500 of items in the US (up to $300 off) and up to $500 CAD on Amazon.ca (up to $100 CAD off). The UK Wedding List doesn't list a completion discount.
Joy: 20% off, once
Joy gives 20% off eligible Joy Shop gifts left on your registry for six months after the wedding. Its terms describe it as one-time use, so save it for one big order. Cash funds, gift cards and experiences don't count.
Target: 15% off storewide, twice
Target sends a 15% off storewide Target Circle offer the week of your wedding. You can redeem it twice, and it expires six months after it arrives. Your registry needs to be active at least 14 days before the offer is generated.

Frequently asked questions
Which wedding registry has the best completion discount?
Zola's is the most flexible: 20% off gifts left on your registry for six months, usable as many times as you like. Amazon and Joy also give 20%, but only once, and Target gives 15% storewide twice.
How does the Amazon wedding registry completion discount work?
Once guests have bought $500 or more from your Amazon Wedding Registry, you get a one-time 20% discount on a single order of select items shipped and sold by Amazon, up to $300 off in the US.
Can you have more than one wedding registry?
Yes. Many couples use a universal registry like Zola or Joy plus a store registry such as Amazon or Target, which also means more than one completion discount.
