The eight most common ways to shrink a price tag.
These are the eight layer types behind 95% of combos on SaveCombo. The community catalogues new ones every month — membership rebates, trade-in credit, subscription discounts, bundle deals. Anything that stacks counts.
Sale
The base discount everyone sees.
The retailer's own listed price drop — clearance, sale event, lightning deal, EOFY, Boxing Day, member-only price.
Cashback
Get a % back from a portal.
Activate via ShopBack, Cashrewards or TopCashback before clicking through to the retailer. They earn affiliate revenue and rebate part of it to you.
Card offer
Bank or credit-card offer on top.
Targeted offers from Amex Offers, CommBank Yello, NAB Rewards, Westpac Lounge — usually 'spend $X get $Y back' or category multipliers.
Points
Loyalty points & multipliers.
Flybuys, Everyday Rewards, Qantas Frequent Flyer points earned on the spend — plus category bonuses and 10x events.
Code
Stackable promo codes.
A coupon code at checkout that stacks on top of the sale. Most don't — we only list the ones that do.
Price-beat
Match & beat the lowest price.
Officeworks beats by 5%, Bunnings beats by 10%, JB Hi-Fi matches, Harvey Norman matches. Bring evidence (URL or in-store photo) of a competitor's lower price.
Gift card
Buy gift cards at a discount.
Buy discounted gift cards from Suncorp Benefits, Prezzee or Coles GC sales, then pay with them — instant 5–10% saving on the entire purchase.
