no thanks vs no, thanks

Both "no thanks" and "no, thanks" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "No thanks" is a casual way to decline an offer or invitation without using a comma. On the other hand, "no, thanks" is a more polite and formal way to decline, with a comma separating the negation and the expression of gratitude.
