Click Frenzy sale 2024: get prepared for one of Australia's biggest sales events

Click Frenzy is an online sale that brings together thousands of deals from a huge variety of Australian retailers onto one website, with discounts available on tech, appliances, fashion, homewares and more.

Inspired by Black Friday sales in the US, Click Frenzy was created in Australia in 2012 and was originally meant to be held twice a year. There was one sale in May called Click Frenzy Mayhem, and another in November (first called Click Frenzy Go Wild, but now known as The Main Event).

As its popularity grew, Click Frenzy expanded to several sale events throughout the year. There was Click Frenzy Julove in July, and Click Frenzy Travel which has been held in various different months. Click Frenzy also first started as a strictly 24-hour sale – starting at 7pm on one day and ending at 7pm the next – but it has since expanded significantly to 53 hours of deal hunting.

The next Click Frenzy event is called Click Frenzy Mayhem, and it officially starts on Tuesday, May 14 and will run through until Friday, May 17. We don't yet know exact times Click Frenzy Mayhem will start and end, but we'll update this page as soon as we know more. Previous Click Frenzy sales have kicked off at 7pm AEST, so we can make a logical assumption the same will happen this May. 

We’ve seen several retailers in the past release their discounts a few hours earlier than the official start time, so you can potentially start deal hunting before a huge amount of shoppers jump on the Click Frenzy site. As always, we’ll be listing all the best tech deals right here as retailers make these available.

Click Frenzy collects thousands of deals from dozens of retailers onto a single website where you can easily see what’s available, and you don’t need to be a member to shop any of the deals.

There are benefits to being a member, however. For a start, members get exclusive access to Click Frenzy’s signature 99% off deals. Lucky for us, it’s free to sign up. Recently, the deals have included a PS5 for just AU$6, a Nintendo Switch for AU$5 and Apple MacBooks for just AU$19. These discounts are limited in number, with limited stock, and pop up at random times on the site for members who are ready and waiting (and signed in).

Click Frenzy members also get access to the deals via the website 30 minutes before everyone else.

We’ve been following both Click Frenzy and Black Friday sales for many years now, so we can say from our own experience that Black Friday sales are better than Click Frenzy deals. There’s a few reasons for this – firstly, only select retailers participate in Click Frenzy sales, whereas almost all Aussie retailers will get in on the Black Friday shopping bandwagon.

Historically, Amazon Australia and eBay Australia do not participate in Click Frenzy sale events, and we know from experience that these two online-only stores have some of the best deals on Black Friday. Other big-name Aussie stores such as JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys have joined the Click Frenzy sales on occasion, but they don’t always participate. They do most definitely participate during Black Friday sales.
