Afterpay Day is now live! Meaning you now have just four days to shop deep discounts from a huge range of Australian retailers across tech, fashion, homewares and more.  

Australia's bi-annual shopping event officially kicked off at 8am AEST Thursday August 15 and will run through until 11.59pm AEST Sunday August 18, 2024 and despite the popular buy now pay later service's name is in the title, you don't always need to use the Afterpay service to take advantage of any savings. 

Read on to find out all there is to know about the upcoming Afterpay Day, along with some of the best deals we've spotted so far. Rest assured we'll be keeping this page updated with the latest and greatest discounts as soon as we see them.

What is Afterpay Day?

Afterpay Day is a bi-annual shopping event that sees thousands of Australian retailers dropping prices and offering stellar deals. Only the 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.

Afterpay Day 2024: confirmed retailers

Below you can find a list of retailers confirmed to be participating in Afterpay Day this August, and the deals you can expect to see. This isn't a complete list, as we expect many more retailers to announce Afterpay Day deals soon.

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 with code DIGIAUG24 is one worthy of a recommendation. 

Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Absolute |AU$1,549AU$977 on Amazon

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

While not technically an Afterpay Day deal, since Amazon doesn't support the payment method, this price-beating deal on the the V15s Detect Submarine is too good not to give a mention to. Dyson does have its own Afterpay Day sale running, where you can save up to AU$600 on select vacuums, but this deal trumps it completely. 

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 is 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 is down to a respectable AU$649.

Sonos Ace | AU$699AU$625 at The Good Guys

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

Having only just launched in June, we're surprised to see any discount on the Sonos Ace headphones, but here you have it. 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. The Good Guys may even offer an extra price beat discount, so be sure to check them out.

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. 

Other stores: Appliances Online | Bing Lee | Sony 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.

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.

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.

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 2024?

The second Afterpay Day in 2024 will be held from Thursday, August 15 and run until Sunday, August 18.  

The first Afterpay Day of 2024 was held from Thursday, March 14 until Sunday, March 17, 2024. Afterpay itself hasn't officially revealed these dates, but we've seen them listed on select participating retailers, such as Dyson. 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. The previous Afterpay Day was held from March 14-17 in 2024.

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.

What is Afterpay?

As mentioned above, Afterpay is a buy now, pay later service. As explained by our colleagues at Mozo, this isn’t an entirely new concept, as it’s reminiscent of more traditional lay-by services, the main exception being, 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.

Sony X85L 65-inch 4K LED TV | AU2,799 AU$1,795 at The Good Guys (save AU$1,004)

Afterpay Day is usually a great time to buy a new TV, since multiple electronics retailers offer deep discounts. This 65-inch Sony was a great example, seeing its price drop to well below AU$2,000. There have been numerous new releases since the last Afterpay Day sale, so we'll be keeping an eye out for discounts on the very latest screens. 

Apple TV 4K (2022, 64GB, Wi-Fi) AU$219AU$186.15 on eBay

Apple TV 4K (2022, 64GB, Wi-Fi) | AU$219 AU$186.15 on eBay (save AU$32.85 with code)

This deal on the Apple TV 4K at eBay is a great reminder that the online marketplace is an excellent port of call for a huge selection of deals. There are usually steeper discounts available for eBay Plus members, so if you've yet to sign-up, we recommend you prepare yourself early.

Dyson V15s Detect Submarine Complete | AU$1,649 AU$1,099 at Dyson (save AU$550)

Dyson may have recently opened an Amazon storefront, but shopping at the maker itself during Afterpay Day usually results in some fantastic deals. This AU$550 saving on the V15s Detect Submarine was a particular highlight earlier in March. And, if products aren't discounted, you can usually expect to find free gifts thrown in instead. 

Image

Apple iPhone 15 Pro | from AU$1,849 from AU$1,637 at JB Hi-Fi (save up to AU$212)

We've seen discounts on the iPhone 15 Pro range throughout 2024, so we fully expect retailers to knock prices down once more during the next Afterpay Day. The majority of deals will likely apply when buying an iPhone outright, as opposed to on a plan, however.

Image

HP Envy x360 2-in-1 laptop (15-ew0003TX) | i7 / 16GB RAM / 512GB SSD / RTX 2050 | AU$2,699 AU$1,484 at HP (save AU$1,215)

HP is no stranger to big sales events, and so we can make a logical assumption that the PC manufacturer will join in with Afterpay Day in August. We've highlighted this previous deal on an x360 2-in-1, but expect discounts on business and gaming laptops as well.

Image

Sennheiser Momentum 4 (Copper) | AU$624.95 AU$469 at Sennheiser (save AU$155.95)

Using this pair of Sennheiser headphones as a specific example, we have seen them go much lower during the course of the year, especially during Prime Day. Amazon's sale does tend to be in a league of its own when it comes to exceptional discounts, so we won't hold our breath and expect Afterpay Day to match it...but miracles do happen.

Image

Breville the Barista Express | AU$999 AU$699 at The Good Guys (save AU$300) 

We'll be keeping a look out for deals on a range of coffee machines during Afterpay Day, both manual and pod-based machines. This deal on one of our favourite Breville machines was one of the standout options from the March sale.
