Following the first major sale of 2025 in the form of Click Frenzy, we're now on a steady slope of regular sales events in Australia. No sooner had we said goodbye to Click Frenzy are we saying hello to Afterpay Day, which kicks off on Thursday March 20, and will continue all the way through until 11.59pm AEDT Sunday March 23, 2025. We could also be saying hola to an Amazon sale, if previous years are anything to go by.

Afterpay Day represents an excellent opportunity to snap up some bargains, with a vast majority of Australia's major retailers getting in on the discount action. Brands we've seen regularly get involved with Afterpay Day have included Dyson, Shark and Ninja to retailers like The Good Guys, Myer, JB Hi-Fi along with other, perhaps overlooked brands such as Jetstar and Webjet.

Despite its name, you don't need to use the Afterpay buy now, pay later payment service to take advantage of the deals. Instead, it's the retailers that simply support Afterpay that tend to slash prices.

So, if you and/or your wallet are getting excited for next week, read on to find out all there is to know about the upcoming Afterpay Day, what you can expect, who the key retailers are and what deals we've seen in previous years. Be sure to return on March 20 too, as we'll be keeping this page updated with the latest and greatest discounts as soon as we see them.

Afterpay Day 2025: key retailers

Below you can find a list of retailers that have been key in previous sales. A complete list of retailers is still to be confirmed, but we expect the retailers below to be go-to sellers during AfterPay Day.

Afterpay Day sales: key information

What is Afterpay Day?

Afterpay Day is a bi-annual shopping event that sees thousands of Australian retailers dropping prices and offering stellar deals. Retailers that support the Afterpay buy now, pay later service get in on the action, but you don’t need to use Afterpay as a payment method to take advantage of the deals.

Afterpay Day deals aren’t limited to just one department, so you’ll be able to search for savings across tech, appliances, homewares, fashion, beauty, travel and more.

When is Afterpay Day in 2025?

The first Afterpay Day in 2025 will be held from Thursday, March 20 and run until Sunday, March 23. That’s four whole days of deals and discounts across a wide range of product categories, including tech, fashion and beauty.

How often is there an Afterpay Day sale?

Afterpay Day sales happen twice a year – one in March and one in August, and they typically run over four days. Afterpay Day was last held in August 2024, running from Thursday August 15 for until Sunday August 18.

How long do Afterpay Day sales last?

As mentioned, Afterpay Day sale events are now held over four days, typically starting on a Thursday and ending on a Sunday. This was the case for the sales in March and August 2024, and will be for the upcoming sale on March 20 this year.

What is Afterpay?

As mentioned above, Afterpay is a buy now, pay later service. As explained by our colleagues at Mozo, this isn't a completely revolutionary concept. In fact, it's similar to the traditional lay-by service. The main difference, though – and why Afterpay is such an attractive option – is you get your goods upfront.

Afterpay is one of the largest buy now, pay later services in Australia, and it allows customers to divide a single purchase into four interest-free fortnightly instalments. When using Afterpay, keep in mind that you will need to pay a AU$10 late fee if your repayments aren’t made in time, but you will receive reminders beforehand.

Afterpay Day 2025: FAQs

Does Afterpay have a spending limit?

Yes! Afterpay has a relatively low spending limit of around AU$600 for new users. However, Afterpay takes time to get to know its users and their spending habits – assessing your ability to make repayments.

However, the more you responsibly use Afterpay, and make payments on time, it's likely your spending limit will increase.

What happens if your Afterpay payment is late?

If you are unable to make a payment, you can reschedule and delay your payment as many as three times in one year. You can also contact Afterpay to talk about your options.

If you do miss a payment, you will be charged a late fee. This will most often be AU$10, but Afterpay actually states it will never exceed 25% of the purchase price or $68; whichever is less.

If you still do not pay, Afterpay will limit your ability to use Afterpay until your payments are up to date.

How do I get $3000 on Afterpay?

Afterpay will not, or cannot, manually increase your estimated spending limit, as it is determined automatically based on a number of factors. Factors such as payment history, how long you've been an Afterpay customer and whether you've declined orders or payments before.

So, how can you increase your spending limit to as much as AU$3000? Be an Afterpay member for a long time, making payments on time and proving you'll have no issue paying back such a large sum.

Does Afterpay affect credit score?

The short answer is yes, it does. While you can quickly and easily start using Afterpay without a credit check, using it consistently and responsibly will see you become eligible for an increased spending limit.

When this happens, Afterpay may notify customers that are eligible to apply for a limit increase. If this were to happen, a credit check may be conducted to make sure an increased limit is right for you. And credit scores are impacted by credit checks.

Is Afterpay Day online only?

No! Much like the Afterpay service itself, which can be used both online and in physical stores depending on the retailer or service, the Afterpay Day sale will be live online and in-store at supporting retailers.

Afterpay Day 2025: Best deals from the previous sale

Below you'll find a selection of some of the standout deals we saw during the previous Afrerpay Day sale in August 2024, to give you a good idea of what to expect when the March sale rolls around next week.

Remember, the prices listed below were correct at the time of publishing, but may not be now. We'll be keeping this page updated with the best deals throughout the sale, however, so be sure to check back often.

Apple AirTag (4 pack) | AU$159 AU$127.20 at DigiDirect eBay with code 'DIGIAUG24' (save AU$31.80)

Apple's AirTags give you peace of mind by allowing you track and find your things using your iPhone. You can get key fob attachments for them if you regularly mislay your keys, attach one to your dog's collar or throw one in your luggage. The possibilities are endless. We don't often see discounts on the four pack, so this modest saving was one worth considering.

Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Absolute | AU$1,549 AU$977 on Amazon (save AU$572)

While not technically an Afterpay Day deal, as Amazon doesn't support the payment method, this price-beating deal on the the V15s Detect Submarine was too good not to give a mention to, and it came during the same period. It even beat out Dyson's Afterpay Day sale, where you could save up to AU$600 on select vacuums.

KitchenAid 4.7L Artisan Stand Mixer (KSM195)AU$1,049from AU$729 on KitchenAid

KitchenAid 4.7L Artisan Stand Mixer (KSM195) | AU$1,049 from AU$729 on KitchenAid (save up to AU$320)

KitchenAid is a regular Afterpay Day participant, and this AU$320 saving on the iconic and popular KSM195 stand mixer was a fantastic buy. It's available in a multitude of colours too, and if you can go without a few of the extra attachments, the KSM192 model was down to a respectable AU$649.

Sonos Ace | AU$699 AU$625 at The Good Guys (save AU$74)

Having only just launched in June last year, we were surprised to see any discount on the Sonos Ace headphones. Serving up superb sound, a ludicrously comfortable fit, 30 hours of battery life and the ability to swap audio with a Sonos soundbar, they're a great buy.

Sony Bravia 9 Mini-Led TV (75-inch) | AU$6.995AU$6,495 at The Good Guys

Sony Bravia 9 Mini-Led TV (75-inch) | AU$6.995 AU$6,495 at The Good Guys (save AU$500)

It's still most certainly a significant investment, but the Sony Bravia 9 is one hell of a TV, delivering insanely high levels of brightness not seen before on any other screen. If you love watching movies at home, it's one of the best screens you can buy. The 75-inch model here is the smallest you can get in Australia.

LG C4 OLED TV (65-inch) | AU$4,299AU$3,180 at Appliance Central

LG C4 OLED TV (65-inch) | AU$4,299 AU$3,180 at Appliance Central (save AU$1,119)

We hoped this LG OLED would drop lower in price during Afterpay Day, and that's exactly what's happened. Now AU$400 cheaper than the previous low price, this is great opportunity to snap up one of the best screens from this year. Serving up a sensational picture that really does prove why traditional OLED still has its place, and it's also a superb option for gamers.

Also available for AU$3,195 at The Good Guys eBay store

Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Mini | AU$1,299.95 AU$871 at Sennheiser (save AU$428.95)

This Sennheiser soundbar may have Mini in its name, but the sound it produces is anything but. The single unit (no wireless subwoofer here) delivers 7.1.4 virtual channels, surprisingly well. If you're short on space but want to improve your TV's sound system, look no further.

Image

Arlo Essential 2K video doorbell (2nd gen) | AU$229 AU$159 at The Good Guys (save AU$70)

A small discount here, but one we'll take regardless. Arlo's Essential 2K video doorbell boasts excellent picture quality, along with two-way communication via a built-in mic and speaker. You also get motion detection sensors which will automatically provide you with a live feed on your paired smartphone, and even a siren for added home security.

Image

If you've always wanted to go for a run or walk with music, but haven't wanted to take your phone, this 'music edition' Garmin smartwatch will be right up your alley. Capable of storing 500 songs for offline listening, along with a full suite of health tracking metrics, it's a worthy investment.

Shark FlexStyle Hair Styling System | AU$449.99 AU$349 at Bing Lee (save AU$100.99)

Not the lowest price we had ever seen, but if you're after a super simple tool to help you get than salon frizz look, the Shark FlexStyle is up there with the best.

It was available at The Good Guys for the same price.

Dyson Supersonic hair dryer | AU$649 AU$399 at Dyson eBay (save up to AU$309.85)

When it comes to hair dryers, nothing beats Dyson's Supersonic hair dryer, which is like Rolls Royce in its category. We loved this massive saving on it that brought it down to a much more affordable, though still premium, price.
