Afterpay Day is here for the second time this year, but we're not complaining about more discounts!

Running for a full four days from Thursday, 14 August until Sunday, 17 August, Afterpay Day isn't quite on the level of Amazon Prime Day and EOFY sales, but it marks a good opportunity to pick-up some Father's Day gift ideas at reduced prices, and Christmas isn't too far away if you find a really good deal.

And, while there's still almost 72 hours of deals to enjoy, we've already come across quite a few stellar savings. That's because, while there's a ton of brands officially taking part in the sale, even retailers who aren't officially involved, like Amazon, are offering competitive deals.

You can find the 10 best deals we've found so far below, but there's plenty more where they came from. Luckily, our Afterpay Day live coverage lets you peruse all the top deals without spending hours shopping online.

Afterpay Day 2025: Top 10 deals

Samsung Galaxy S25
Save AU$549.85
Samsung Galaxy S25: was AU$1,399 now AU$849.15 at eBay

A crazy deal here on the Samsung Galaxy S25 via the maker's eBay store. A note, you do need to use Afterpay to purchase and enter code APAY15 to get the low price. In our Samsung Galaxy S25 review, the biggest drawback our tester could find was that it's not a massive change from its predecessor. However, making across-the-board improvements to a phone we called a "pocket powerhouse", while retaining its sleek, compact design is a win in our book.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 (Silver): was AU$299 now AU$141.19 at Amazon

First things first, this isn't the Pro set of Galaxy earbuds. Think of them as the equivalent to the Apple AirPods 4. They're still excellent, though, offering excellent battery life, good noise cancellation and they even support live translation features when paired to a compatible Galaxy smartphone.

We still think this is one of the best tablets you can buy, as it offers everything you realistically need and nothing you don't. If you're looking to replace a laptop with a tablet, this wouldn't be the it, but for casual usage – think reading news, watching videos – there's nothing better.

A great price for what we consider to be an excellent stick vacuum cleaner. Not only does it clean carpets and hard floors, but it also has a mopping head for deeper cleaning.

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 2025?

The first Afterpay Day in 2025 was held from Thursday, March 20 and ran until Sunday, March 23.

The second Afterpay Day will land on Thursday, August 14 and run until Sunday, August 17. This is pretty consistently when Afterpay Day lands each year, as we had previously predicted these dates based on the 2024 sales.

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. Afterpay Day was last held in March 2025, running from Thursday March 20 and ran until Sunday, March 23.

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 a completely revolutionary concept. In fact, it's similar to the traditional lay-by service. The main difference, though – and why Afterpay is such an attractive option – is 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, but you will receive reminders beforehand.

Afterpay Day 2025: FAQs

Does Afterpay have a spending limit?

Yes! Afterpay has a relatively low spending limit of around AU$600 for new users. However, Afterpay takes time to get to know its users and their spending habits – assessing your ability to make repayments.

However, the more you responsibly use Afterpay, and make payments on time, it's likely your spending limit will increase.

What happens if your Afterpay payment is late?

If you are unable to make a payment, you can reschedule and delay your payment as many as three times in one year. You can also contact Afterpay to talk about your options.

If you do miss a payment, you will be charged a late fee. This will most often be AU$10, but Afterpay actually states it will never exceed 25% of the purchase price or $68; whichever is less.

If you still do not pay, Afterpay will limit your ability to use Afterpay until your payments are up to date.

How do I get $3000 on Afterpay?

Afterpay will not, or cannot, manually increase your estimated spending limit, as it is determined automatically based on a number of factors. Factors such as payment history, how long you've been an Afterpay customer and whether you've declined orders or payments before.

So, how can you increase your spending limit to as much as AU$3000? Be an Afterpay member for a long time, making payments on time and proving you'll have no issue paying back such a large sum.

Does Afterpay affect credit score?

The short answer is yes, it does. While you can quickly and easily start using Afterpay without a credit check, using it consistently and responsibly will see you become eligible for an increased spending limit.

When this happens, Afterpay may notify customers that are eligible to apply for a limit increase. If this were to happen, a credit check may be conducted to make sure an increased limit is right for you. And credit scores are impacted by credit checks.

Is Afterpay Day online only?

No! Much like the Afterpay service itself, which can be used both online and in physical stores depending on the retailer or service, the Afterpay Day sale will be live online and in-store at supporting retailers.
