4 Ways To Get More Discounts On Your 12.12 Or Xmas Shopping, On Platforms Like Zalora, SHEIN & ezbuy

How to snag discounts on your 12.12 and Xmas hauls

Just like that, we’re fast approaching the end of 2021. December is the month of sales, as droves of deals and discounts flood your favourite online stores and ecommerce platforms. Cue the mad scramble to kope as many discount codes and coupons as possible to snag that perfect present in time for Christmas.

This December, make those online shopping dreams a reality with these four ways to squeeze more discounts out of your year-end hauls so you can live the luxe life at just a fraction of the cost.

1. Buy now, pay later with Atome

Buy now, pay later (BNPL) is all the rage these days, letting you pay for your purchases in bite-sized, monthly payments. With Atome, you’ll get to split your bills into three monthly payments with 0% interest. What’s more, you don’t just split up your payment – you get to enjoy extra discounts to offset the overall amount you pay!

This 12.12, Atome is offering you an extra 12% off most of its partner shops, such as Zalora, SHEIN, ezbuy, Sephora, BHG and TANGS. And if you’re a new user, you get to enjoy exclusive deals, including $8 off Zalora purchases (min. spend of $40) and $10 off SHEIN orders (min. spend of $30).

2. Use Honey to suss out codes from all over the Internet

You might already have a nifty little cashback extension working for you on the side, but Honey is one more browser extension that you’ll want to keep on your radar – especially if you’re perpetually adding items to your cart. Honey’s modus operandi is simple: it works silently in the background to pull together valid discount codes for you to use when you shop online.

Once installed, Honey can even dig up discount codes from places you never thought to look – simply click on the little ‘h’ icon above your bookmark bar and Honey will show you a list of codes that are available for use.

3. Check #sgdeals, #sggiveaway, and other related hashtags to kope discounts and promotions

Instagram is more than just a social media platform for sharing cute shots of your #ootd and videos of your cat having the zoomies at 3AM. It’s also a hub for offers and deals, and the secret lies in its hashtags.

Key hashtags to keep in mind are #sgdeals and #sggiveaway. The former collates all public posts promoting brand deals and discounts, while the latter pulls together all ongoing giveaways.

Pro-tip: To save time, open Instagram on your browser and key in the hashtags to view the latest promotions at a glance.

4. Camp for flash sales & discount codes

Flash sales have truly inculcated a culture of camping for codes in Singapore. With vouchers containing very generous discounts released once every few hours from 12AM onwards, the only solution is to camp for them.

With 12.12 just around the corner, you can fully expect the same flash sales shenanigans to happen yet again.

Here are some quick tips to help you snag the best deals:

Activate notifications for flash sales. Major ecommerce platforms should give you the option to turn on push notifications to remind you when a flash sale rolls around.
Add all items you want to buy to your cart before the sale. When the sale begins, simply check out straight away.
Set reminders for themed sales such as electronics, beauty, and fashion. Deals are doled out by theme at different dates and times, so you’ll want to set alarms for the sales you’re interested in.
E-commerce platforms usually have e-wallets tied to their apps that will grant you extra discounts for paying with them, so make sure your wallets are topped up.

Use Atome to pay for your purchases with a peace of mind

Even with all the discounts and offers stacked up, you may just find yourself in hot soup if your pay hasn’t been credited to you just yet. Luckily for you, Atome lets you split your purchases into three monthly payments to give you more breathing room.
