I was contacting with our ASN and Tallink code what they have can be used only starting from April, so I asked help to Estonian Drift where they have the same situation, but you can use Estonian Drift personal codes:

Normaly Estonians have very good discounts 5-6% betetr as others.

52881 is main code. Then it asks for extra code.

My personal additional code is 60480. Confirmation comes to my email. From april or so we have our seasonal code back but up to then these two will work . Discounts are same.
