The best priced, and readily available TAP ticket is DUB SFO at just under £1100. An of course this raft of dodgy codes have nothing to do with that.
Nothing dodgy about these codes - they‘re just a bit cumbersome to apply.

The 50% off apply to fare + YQ.

When searching on Google Flights i do not see any 900 USD ow. But 1252 USD for which the discount is being applied properly.

Three separate codes - any, all or none of them might (or, more likely) might not work.
The text said 50% of all fares: very clearly this was not the case.
Term and conditions in both Portuguese and English text said 50% off fare except airport charges. Clearly (again) this could never be the case: taxes and duties are inescapable. YQ isn't mentioned.

Hey, it's TAP. I'm sure it's not an outright scam, just a marketing initiative badly implememted. TP's not a carrier known for transparency, customer service or IT sophistication. They have had some bonkers low fares though, and if these were mistakes- it's to the airlines' credit that they let them stand.

Accepting this, in the case of an £800 J-class return LHR-MIA, the charges, taxes and duties on both tickets mean the airline has reduced the base fare by two-thirds. Which seems pretty extraordinary. `And is why I raised my original question.

I've been trying since yesterday, with different browsers and different codes, to find a discounted J class either from BOS or YUL to LIS. Results remain at the same regular price, even when a box is saying that the code has been activated. Many hours lost...

Thanks, but which of the three codes did you use, and when in the process of booking? Were you following the link of the OP?

I'm looking for July, but I tried other months as well. There was a box at the end of the results page, this box saying that the code was applied, but the discount never appeared in any of my numerous searches.

I did search from the Canada TP website, and from the US TP website. And I tried with and without login in.

The first flight needs to be in February, as clearly stated on the campaign site:

This offer is valid for TAP journeys starting until February 28 and completed before December 31.
