Every year and through different channels (Robinhood, Fidelity, StateFarm, etc.), the discount is never applied for me. The site states that you have to go through the affiliated site, which I do. Clear cache, clear cookies, restart browser, the whole same BS. If you go to their support page, it points to the same page or the suggested link is broken.
This year, I even tried all the data clearing and link clicking multiple times. From my personal recommendation, if you are trying out TT because of the discount... try another service. HR Block sounds like they have done a decent job catching up to TT. I may strongly consider them for next year.
There is even a user post that says he was told this problem is not common (https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3984616) (also assuming the link does not break or deleted). Yet, if you search online on "turbotax discount not working," you'll get a ton of pages over the span of several years.
A technology company that does provide codes nor allow agents to apply discounts. Users have been credited by affiliated site or on a single post by TurboTax. In the TT post, went through support which had them submit the form and was told he would be credited. Who knows if the credit was ever applied. Clearly, TT has no interest in making this any better.

Review: TurboTax Online 2014 (for 2013 tax)
It cost me just under $100 for TurboTax to file my 2013 taxes, about how much it would have cost me to pay for an accountant.
I am not a huge fan of the new layout at first. It was a little confusing on what I needed to do with the edit or add portion. This was confusing because it said that it was importing my data from 2012 tax season. Then I get to this screen with all my information with 2012 and 2013 data where the 2013 data was empty (because I have not fill in any information yet). When I click on each item, I only had options to edit or remove. Nothing has changed from last year, and I have to enter the information again?
It is kind of a pain that my employer is yet to have their payroll automatically pulled from TurboTax. I was also not sure what to put in when it asked me if I moved since the last filing because I did move but it was this year.
It was hugely convenient that Scottrade was one of the available companies to import data from because I have made many trades in the last few months. This was nice because it was able to separate the DIV from the INT and from my long term trades. The confusion was a bit on the long term trades because there was a lot of extra pages that were not pertinent from Scottrade. With the auto import, I was able to figure out what the fields were for... eventually.
Otherwise, the whole process took me about 1 hour to complete.

Complaint: Turbotax Error - Unable to Download
ERROR: "Unable to download getTaxReturnPdf from myturbotax.intuit.com. Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."
This error occurs when I try to download previous year returns through Internet Explorer 8. I got around this using FireFox 17.0.8. I have not tried this on later versions of IE because that requires me to try this again from the other room (maybe I'll get to it later or perhaps if someone requests it).
