Customers can also avail of discounts before the sale, via Amazon's Kickstarter deals, or Flipkart's 'Sale Price Live' promotions.

In order to avail of these additional discounts, it is a good idea to activate online transactions on your bank card before the sale begins.
As part of the upcoming Amazon Great Indian Festival sale, SBI debit and credit card holders will be able to avail of a 10 percent instant discount on online transactions. You will also be able to lower the prices of smartphones and other consumer electronics products thanks to exchange discounts.
If you have an Axis Bank, Kotak Bank, or ICICI Bank credit or debit card, you can avail of a 10 percent instant discount on purchases made during the Flipkart Big Billion Days sale. Just like its rival Amazon, you can buy some products at cheaper prices by exchanging your older smartphone or a similar device. Flipkart will also allow you to trade in your "Supercoins" to lower the price of your next purchase.
It is worth noting that Amazon Prime subscribers and Flipkart Plus members will also have an advantage over other customers during the upcoming sale events. For example, if you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you can access the Great Indian Festival 2023 sale at midnight on October 7 to avail of discounts, deals, and offers ahead of customers who are not Prime members.
