The festive season in India is around the corner, and e-commerce giants Amazon and Flipkart are gearing up for their mega sales. From massive discounts on electronics to special bank offers and cashback deals, customers can expect aggressive price cuts across categories. But to truly make the most of these sales, shoppers need a smart strategy.
Here are 10 tried-and-tested tricks to help you maximise benefits during the Amazon and Flipkart festival sales:
-
Compare Prices: Always cross-check the same product on both platforms. A deal on one site may be cheaper elsewhere.
-
Wishlist Early: Add products to your wishlist in advance so you can track price drops instantly.
-
Bank & Wallet Offers: Use credit/debit cards tied to partner banks. Flipkart often ties with Axis and ICICI, while Amazon partners with HDFC and SBI.
-
Exchange Programs: Exchange old gadgets or appliances for extra discounts.
-
Cashback Apps: Use payment apps like Paytm, PhonePe, or Amazon Pay for additional cashback.
-
Check Coupons: Look for hidden coupons on the product page; applying them can cut prices further.
-
Prime/Plus Membership: Amazon Prime and Flipkart Plus members get early access and free delivery perks.
-
No-Cost EMI: Spread out payments on expensive electronics without extra charges.
-
Bundle Deals: Buy combos (like phone + accessories) for a cheaper overall price.
-
Flash Sales: Stay alert for limited-time lightning deals where stocks sell out quickly.
By following these steps, buyers can stretch their festive budgets while grabbing premium products at a fraction of the cost.
With both Amazon’s Great Indian Festival and Flipkart’s Big Billion Days expected to go live in late September, consumers should prepare their lists and payment options now to avoid missing out.
