1. Leverage Credit Cards and Gift Cards: On Flipkart, use your HDFC Credit Card up to the max discount limit, then pay the remaining amount with gift cards from platforms like HDFC SmartBuy, Axis GiftEdge, or SBI YONO. This can get you up to 16.66% value back. On Amazon, use Shopping Vouchers alongside your credit card for a similar benefit.
2. Choose Farthest Delivery Date: For high-value products, choose the farthest delivery option. This allows you to cancel and reorder if a better deal shows up during the sale.
3. Strike Early for Best Deals: The best deals, especially on high-value products, are often available in the first 15 minutes of the sale. Save items in your wishlist and have your payment details ready for a quick purchase.
4. Compare Exchange Offers: When exchanging old devices like phones or laptops, compare Flipkart or Amazon’s offers with Cashify to get the best price for your old device.
5. Stock Up on Groceries: Take advantage of deep discounts (up to 70-80%) on groceries and personal care items. It’s the perfect time to stock up for the year.
6. Credit Card Discount Refresh: During the sale, some credit card discount limits refresh every two days. Don’t order everything at once. Split your orders and maximize your savings.
7. Use Add-On Cards for Extra Discounts: HDFC offers add-on credit cards with unique card numbers, which might allow you to claim discounts separately. Get add-ons and make the most of multiple discounts.
8. Compare Prices on Both Platforms: Historically, Flipkart offers better discounts on large appliances, while Amazon shines on smaller products. Compare prices to get the best deal.
9. Monitor Flipkart Tick-Tock Deals: Flipkart offers limited-time Tick-Tock deals every hour. You could snag great deals on personal care products and more during these flash sales.
10. Use Flipkart Coins for Extra Savings: On many products, you can save an additional ₹1000-2000 by redeeming 50-100 Flipkart SuperCoins. Check the product page for these offers.
HDFC Credit Cards are the key for Flipkart’s Big Billion Day, while SBI Cards dominate Amazon’s Great Indian Festival.
If you don’t have a card, consider the HDFC Rupay UPI Credit Card or SBI SimplyClick for additional benefits during these sales.
