Coins, Games, and Extra Rewards
Before the 11.11 sale, it’s worth checking your Coins balance and seeing which tasks are available in the AliExpress app. These may help you save more on a planned purchase.
Coins can be used on selected offers that accept them. Visit the Coins section to see if the item you’re looking for is included in any of these offers. The actual discount will be shown at checkout. For more details, check out our AliExpress Coins guide.
Play & Earn brings together games and tasks where you can earn points. Under the rules of the current event, these points can be exchanged for coupons or shopping credits available in the rewards center. Learn more about how it works in our separate article.
Before participating, check three things: what reward you can get, how many points are needed to redeem it, and when it expires. This will help you decide whether the game can help you save on your order.
If the Mega Prize or another limited-time 11.11 activity is available in the app, check its rules directly on the event page. This year’s prizes and terms may differ from those offered last year.

How to Combine Discounts
One of the best ways to save during the 11.11 sale is to combine a sale price with available additional discounts and rewards. Depending on the item, these may include a seller coupon, a platform-issued promo code, a Coins discount, or a reward from the Play & Earn section.
However, not all discounts can be combined. Whether they can be used together depends on the terms of each offer, and some promotions may have additional restrictions. The AliExpress Bonuses Terms & Conditions also state that individual promotions may have their own rules.
Here’s a simple way to do it:
- Choose the item you want and select the right options.
- Claim an available seller coupon.
- Apply an eligible promo code at checkout.
- Review the discount breakdown and compare the final amount payable.
If a new discount or reward replaces one you’ve already applied, check which option offers better savings. Avoid adding items you don’t need just to reach the next coupon discount threshold — the extra cost could outweigh the discount.
How Singles’ Day Became the 11.11 Global Shopping Festival
Originally, November 11 was a celebration for single people. Its origins are commonly traced to students at Nanjing University, who reportedly began celebrating Singles’ Day in 1993. The date was symbolic: the four 1s in 11.11 represented single people. The holiday became an opportunity to spend time with friends and treat themselves to gifts.
Singles’ Day became a shopping event in 2009, when Alibaba held a sale on Taobao Mall, which would later become Tmall. Only 27 merchants took part in the first event. Over time, the sale expanded internationally, and AliExpress made 11.11 deals accessible to shoppers outside China.
Since then, 11.11 has grown into one of the world’s largest shopping events, with reported sales at times surpassing those of its Western counterpart, Black Friday. Today, the sale lasts longer than a single day, but its name still reflects November 11, the date that started it all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are 11.11 deals available to existing AliExpress customers?
Yes, existing customers can take advantage of 11.11 deals too. Offers marked “for new users” have separate terms and shouldn’t be confused with general 11.11 promotions.
Will prices stay the same throughout the sale?
Not necessarily. Prices and available bonuses may change. There’s no guarantee that a deal offered on the first day will remain available until the sale ends or that waiting will get you a better price.
Do I need to buy in the first few minutes of the sale?
It may be worth doing so if you’ve already chosen an item, checked its price, and want to take advantage of a deal with limited stock or a limited number of coupons. For other purchases, there’s no need to rush just because the sale has started.
Could 11.11 orders take longer to arrive?
Yes, during major sales, sellers may take longer to ship orders, and deliveries may also be delayed. However, not every order will be affected. If you’re buying a gift for a specific date, allow extra time for delivery.
Should I wait until Black Friday?
There’s no guarantee you’ll get a better price. If an item is cheaper during 11.11 than it was before the sale and costs less than at other stores, it may be worth buying now. If the savings aren’t significant and you don’t need the item urgently, you can wait for the next sale.
