    Awesome work TA, great increases :)

    • -3

      One wonders if these 'increases' are just what CR normally gets and doesn't pass on to us…… To get all those stores to 'agree' to singles day promo seems pretty amazing.

      • +7

        Yeah how dare businesses make money!

        • -6

          I don't remember saying they couldn't make money. But a near 30-50% cut on the kickback is a little rich in my books ;)

          • +20

            @JimmyF: You’re so far off the mark it’s not funny. Every one of these increases was negotiated by our team of 4 very talented (and beautiful, if I may say) account managers.

            • +1

              @tightarse: Well great to hear then, as I said, one wonders. I never said I had to be right ;)

              • @JimmyF: All good. Enjoy the rest of the weekend :)

                @endolphin: And why not exactly? I'm sure they'd be as proud as punch when they read it.

          • +5

            @JimmyF: I'm involved with several affiliates myself and I can tell you now that they're making losses with some websites. As of October 10th all AliExpress affiliates are bound by these rates. With Cashrewards offering 5% sitewide they're making a 2% loss on the most popular and expensive categories that people buy from.

    WTF is singles day

    • +3

      A day to appreciate being so single.

    • Haha. 11.11 is single day in China

    • +2

      A Chinese thing - 1s look like lonely people. So cheer up your lonely self and buy things to make up for your lack of companionship.

      But it’s an unfortunate choice of date. I’m a bit uncomfortable that Remembrance Day has been appropriated (in our local market) to have a festival of capitalism.

      • +1

        Similar to how merchants adopted "Black Friday" as a sales day here, even though it's actually known for being a big fire disaster day with loss of life.

        Many retailers don't care, as long as they can use it to make money.

  • +10

    Thanks TA!

    PS. How about 11% cashback on eBay?🤑

  • Dayuuum that's a lot of deals! I'll be maxing out the credit card in no time.

  • +21

    Singles day? Hijacking Remembrance Day for commercial purposes leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

    • +14

      Singles day originated from China. It just Aussie and international companies jumping onto the trend.

      • +13

        Any company in Australia that uses a day set aside to honour those who served in the First World War (almost 10% of the Australian population enlisted, and over 65 per cent were killed, wounded or captured) and all those who have served and died since just to sell shit should be ashamed of themselves. The 11th of the 11th has special meaning - and it isn’t an 11% discount on an iPhone.

          • +7

            @sfac: U serious?! Wow…

            • -6

              @Bellpop: Obviously we are a puppet of USA not longer UK. We should celebrate Independence day instead.

              • @sfac: Absolutely, given how we're starting to take on halloween, next will be thanks giving.

                • @Trishool: Halloween is a Celtic tradition.

                  Well 31 Oct is All Souls Day or Day Of The Dead for many Christians across the world (remembering those in purgatory) . 1 Nov is All Saints Day (those who are in heaven).

                  The yanks just took Halloween to the next level.

                  • @[Deactivated]: Origin may be celtic, but i'm taking about the current'tradition' of dressing up and having halloween parties or collecting sweets.

                    • @Trishool: That is what most people don't notice. They talk about the tradition and where it comes from, not what it is today and how it spread. We might just as well take all celebrations and what and make sales of each of them. But as for Halloween I'm not going to celebrate it and especially I don't want my child knocking on a door of a paedophile. Close neighbours I know but, you usually don't go just to the a few houses nearby.

                      All these sales have become a ridicule, making every day something, something. But that is the communities fault. And those selling and making those days special like black Friday are also part of the community. As community everyone contributes to it either by supporting (who doesn't love savings), or by doing nothing. Whinging is not doing something.

                      Humans have become a commodity to be sold/bought and to buy from and sell from. Mighty dollar is doing it's job just fine.

                        You poor bugga, if you think like that. We find it's a great way to meet even more neighbours. We get to find out where
                        lass/schooll mates live. Great for telling the kids where another safe place to go if you're in trouble.

                        • @[Deactivated]: In a small town yes, not so in the big city. We know our close neighbours and have no desire to go 20 houses down just for that. If something like Halloween is needed to get to know your neighbours than you might rethink your priorities. I hope you didn't wait till Halloween came to Australia to get to know even more neighbours. I certainly didn't.

                          • @bargainparker: that's sad. I live in a big city and we know all but two houses in our street (they're empty). There's several hundred house in our suburb that'd we'd stop and have a chat too (I can't remember all their names, but usually the kids/grandkids names).

                            But unlike you, I'm not scared of my neighbours. I teach my kids that strangers are just friends you don't know yet. You don't go with them anywhere or accept stuff unless an adult you know is around and says it's ok, but always say hello & have a chat.

                            As for Halloween, we only did 5 streets, it took us 3hrs to get home, because we were all so busy chatting to people we knew. As I said it's a great way to find out where school friends & colleagues live.

                              @[Deactivated]: I'm not scared, just cautious and have no desire nor time to get to know several hundred houses. That's just too much, unless you have nothing else to do with your life. Each to their own. We have good neighbours, and I'm fine with how it is.

                              No offense, but that is a dangerous ideology.

                              • @Atazoth616: none taken. and no it's not. if you look at crime stats & the recent royal commission into child abuse, the strange danger is thwe wrong message. it should watch out for people you know, they're mucvh much more likely to harm you.

          • @sfac: Wow

        • +2

          We have Anzac Day for remembering them don’t we?

          • @[Deactivated]: Yeah, Rememberance/Armistice Day was supposed to remind people how horrible war (WW1) is and don't repeat it…..21 years later…they forgot.

        • +1

          Well I hope you're just as vocal at all the people who won't observe the minute silence at 11am.

        • +2

          Relax… only war we love is a price war

        • +1

          Well, there are people playing cricket, going to the racetrack, its just a normal trading day for Woolies and Coles, my wife has just gone down the beach for her surfing lesson. So quite a few people making a buck today. How about you mate? Are you going to spend the day in sackcloth and ashes, paying homage to the glorious dead in total silence? I would hope so, after that little rant of yours.

          I don't see any reason why a person can't observe the minutes' silence and buy a phone on the same day.

          • +2

            @cannedhams: My criticism is about appropriating the 11/11 for a sale.

            It’s just a trashy thing to do here in Australia given the really strong and well understood links to something so terrible that every year we’re encouraged to pause and remember. I think - and respect you and others may not - that re-badging that occasion for a sale is just completely tone deaf.

            No expectation that people don’t go about their everyday lives or that businesses don’t open. No expectation that anyone where a sack or prostrate themselves at a wall memorial. Just a sincerely held belief that 11/11 has such well understood meaning here and elsewhere (about truly horrendous things) that to try and take away from that in Australia and give it new meaning is so tasteless and disrespectful (I made no criticism of any other sale or activity taking place today or of the Singles Day as an event in countries without that shared history).

            I can think of dozens of other occasions around the world that have particular meaning to particular people - and I’d feel the same way about appropriating those occasions for something as base as a sale in those markets.

            Cheers.

    • +9

      You know this isn't a hijacking right?
      Singles day originated in China, they aren't a part of the commonwealth and my guess is 11.11 was chosen for aesthetics whereas remembrance day was born from the german armistice - of which China was not a part of.

      • +10

        Not a jab at the Chinese event at all. A jab at the Australian companies who have signed up despite the significance of the day here in Australia. For base commercial purposes. For everyone else, everywhere else - c’est la vie.

        • +3

          I agree it's a very tasteless act for the Australian businesses targeting the domestic market.

          Good thing the vast majority of those putting offers out will be international businesses.

          Having said that, singles day generated $33Billion in sales last year and that record is expected to get smashed tomorrow.

          Australians as individuals who have relatives who sacrificed so much are sensitive to this. I am sensitive to this.

          However, Australians as shareholders of the Australian companies don't want to see their investments outperformed in their own markets by foreign competition who won't care.

          It's just how commerce goes mate, they're screwed if they compete, screwed if they abstain.

          • @ndftz: You know those companies are made of people who live among us. But as usually with so many other things people choose to ignore things. people allowed them to be like that. Yes' it's capitalism and I'm sure Australian companies would do the same. So essentially doing it to each other. Nothing wrong with making a sales, but it's all gone downhill how it's done.

            With how many sales come and go, one would think we are endlessly rich with infinite amount of money to spend. So each year companies are expected to smash the record.

            Well, I am out of the rat race and consumerism. There are more important things that should be done something about but silence is deafening, so life will just go on as usual until maybe the next great war, just to be forgotten again in the next 20 years.

    • +14

      It's not an Australian holiday and thus not related to or hijacking Remembrance Day. 11/11 was chosen as the number 1 resembles an individual who is alone.

      In recent years its become big overseas like Black Friday that originated in America. And while we're on the topic of Black Friday, that name is also shared with bushfire disasters, but I never see any controversy about that.

      • +7

        As I said above - I have no beef with the event in other countries. I just really question why an Australian company would participate given the significance of the date to many here. Given what is being acknowledged (terrible waste of life and unimaginable sacrifice) it just turns my stomach to think some idiot at Telstra or Bonds has gone “sweet, we can make a buck here”. What other companies do in other countries without that shared history - I have no problem with at all.

        • +3

          Perhaps because OzBargain are promoting it? They had a dedicated event for it last year.

    • +15

      With only 365/366 days per year, there are many celebrations/remembrances/sales/etc occurring on the same date. It's hardly being Hijacked.

      Commonwealth countries see a significance in 11am on 11/11 (1918) - the ending of hostilities in WW1. My family served in that war - returning, but severely changed.

      The Chinese see a significance in all those 1's of 1111, like single people.

      And some people believe it has other significance… but they're off with the fairies

      Just because dates have a different significance for different groups does not mean you & others can't observe that date for your purpose.

      Hide these sales if it offends you.

      • Well said.

      • My criticism is of those where the significance of the date is the same. Domestic companies operating in the domestic market. No beef at all with the Chinese event for the Chinese market. I take ndftz’s point above - but that’s exactly what disgusts me so much.

        • +16

          As with the misuse of "Anzac" for commercial purposes, if this was a REMEMBERENCE DAY SALE - that would be offensive. But it's not - it just shares the same date. Business here continues as normal.

          It's just the biggest sale date in the world. So not surprising local businesses want some of the action.
          (And most on this site are just after bargains.)

          Thanks for making some aware of the date's significance here & in some other countries.

      luckily boohoo.com has increased cashback

    • As the world is getting smaller and smaller, it won't take long for us to be in a state that we have no day to celebrate anything without upsetting others. However you feel on this particular day, sad or proud, going online shopping isn't really a way to celebrate, but a way to let out your emotions.

    • one anazc day is enough.

    Telstra $111 (normal rate $90)(cashrewards.com.au) rate is for any 24 month postpaid contract with handset

    So I gotta pay more for this Single's Day deal huh.

    Edit: or does this mean $111 off?

      Edit: or does this mean $111 off?

    FYI, just chatting to the lovely Gearbest rep and she's advised that they are now just charging the price that is displayed I.e. not add GST in the cart. Maybe something to keep in mind if you're buying something from them!

    • They haven't been charging GST for ages. It's always said GST will apply but it never did. Or at least not for me.

      • They did for a while. A message was added to say that GST was added on.

        • Probably realised the government scare tactics don't work.

          • -1

            @Clear: The gov scare tactic will work when they send you a letter to tell you your item has been confiscated by custom and you’ll have a fine

            • +2

              @Fuzor: Why would customs confiscate your package? They don't check to see if the store you bought it from has paid GST. That's not how the legislation works.
