It's now day two of the Afterpay Day sales in Australia, meaning we're already at the half-way point. So what better time to take stock of some of the standout deals I've seen so far?

Firstly, there's the Dyson Afterpay Day sale with up to AU$600 vacuum cleaners, hair styling tools and air purifiers — plus an additional 5% off with our exclusive code FUTURESAVE5.

Then there's The Good Guys Afterpay Day sale with up to AU$60 in additional savings with minimum spends with code AUGDEAL. Thanks to this code, the talented Sony WH-1000XM5 noise cancelling headphones drop to just AU$355.

KitchenAid has now set its Afterpay Day sale live, with 20% off site wide (bar a few exceptions) with code TAKE20. That means you can get the Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine for AU$799.20 — I gave it five stars in my review, and can't recommend it enough.

There's also the KitchenAid KF2 automatic espresso machine with a AU$200 discount.

Of course, who could forget Amazon? The online retail giant may not officially get involved with Afterpay Day, but it's so often the home to the lowest prices. Plus, you can pay for items using the Afterpay buy now, pay later service, so I feel there's some crossover. I've already spotted some good discounts on Shokz open-style earbuds and even Lego sets.

And there are also some great savings at the likes of SharkNinja, eBayand Samsung.

You'll find a comprehensive list of retailers below that have Afterpay Day sales now live, followed by a brief selection of deals I think are worth your time and money.

The best Afterpay Day 2026 deals now live

Audio

Earfun Air Pro 3 (black)
Save 50% (AU$64.03)
Earfun Air Pro 3 (black): was AU$129 now AU$64.97 at Amazon

These earbuds might seem too cheap to be any good, but rest assured we've given them a listen and can confidently vouch for the performance you're getting for such a low price. Great ANC, great sound and a comfortable fit.

Sony WF-C510
Save 35% (AU$38.01)
Sony WF-C510: was AU$108 now AU$69.99 at Amazon

We rate the WF-C510 as one of the best pairs of budget earbuds you can buy, as they deliver a lively, engaging sound, with good passive noise isolation, all in a comfortable, compact design.

Sony WH-1000XM5
Save 35% (AU$194)
Sony WH-1000XM5: was AU$549 now AU$355 at The Good Guys

A tremendous discount on the superb Sony XM5 over ears is one well worth considering if you've been keen for a personal-audio upgrade. They deliver a rich, detailed sound and benefit from effective ANC. Use code AUGDEAL for the full saving.

Apple AirPods Max
Save 17% (AU$149)
Apple AirPods Max: was AU$899 now AU$750 at Amazon

Admittedly this isn't a fantastic price on an older Apple product, but not listing this discounted premium headphones just doesn't feel right considering how popular they can be. Sure, Apple's in-ear buds are arguably even more popular, but the cans are also coveted and cheaper than the Gen 2 model.

JBL Xtreme 4
Save 20% (AU$85.99)
JBL Xtreme 4: was AU$429.95 now AU$343.96 at JBL Australia

This JBL speaker is capable of dishing out loud, well-defined audio, making it a great option to use outdoors. It's built incredibly tough, has excellent battery life and even has a shoulder strap to help you carry it. To get the deal price here, first get yourself an exclusive and unique JBL coupon code.

Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd gen, Black)
Save 15% (AU$37.49)
Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd gen, Black): was AU$249.95 now AU$212.46 at Amazon

We have seen this Bose speaker go quite a lot lower in price, so it's a bit of a shame it hasn't received such a great discount for Afterpay Day. Still, we think even at full price it's worth it, as it serves up a sound far bigger than its size would suggest. It's waterproof and dustproof too.

JBL Spinner BT turntable
Save 39% (AU$251.95)
JBL Spinner BT turntable: was AU$649.95 now AU$398 at Amazon

Our esteemed colleagues at What Hi-Fi? said this turntable from JBL is a surefire winner in the budget space. It has a great quality built-in phono output making connection to an amplifier as easy as possible (but you can bypass it if you wish) or you can stream via Bluetooth to a wireless speaker. If you're looking for an affordable turntable upgrade, or a solid starting point to enter the world of vinyl, this JBL spinner is an excellent choice.

Apple iPhone Air (256GB): was AU$1,799 now AU$1,297 at Amazon

Amazon has knocked 28% off the cost of Apple's thinnest phone, the iPhone Air, across all storage options. It boasts the same powerful processor as the 17 Pro range, and despite having just one camera, it takes great photos. You can trade-in eligible devices for extra credit too.

Save 13% (AU$53.58)
Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm): was AU$399 now AU$345.42 at Amazon

A decent saving on Apple's cheapest smart watch. Built to be accessible, this third generation smart watch is perhaps the best-value model in Apple's lineup. It now benefits from the Always On display, and it has the same processor chip as the Series 11 and Ultra 2, meaning it's lightning fast in use.

Cameras

DJI Osmo 360 (Standard Combo)
Save 21% (AU$161)
DJI Osmo 360 (Standard Combo): was AU$759 now AU$598 at Amazon

The Osmo 360 is the first 360º camera from drone maker DJI and is relatively more affordable than the competition from Insta360. You get excellent 8K performance, it works with DJI's mics, and there's built-in storage to rely on in a pinch. You can't swap out lenses as the in the Insta360 X5, but you still get some very nice, immersive footage that's well stabilised.

Canon EOS R50 + RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens
Save AU$221.16
Canon EOS R50 + RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens: was AU$1,299 now AU$1,077.84 at Amazon

It's already a very affordable APS-C camera kit, so even a small discount makes it worthwhile. For your money, you get a 24.2MP beginner-friendly camera that includes creative modes to simplify taking photos. Plus you get 4K/30p (6K oversampling) video on board too.

Panasonic Lumix S9 w/ 18-40mm F4.5-6.3 Lens
Save 27% (AU$726)

The Lumix S9 is Panasonic's smallest full-framer and is a boon for videographers. You get superb 6K video recording with very effective image stabilisation and Real Time LUTs at your fingertips. Panasonic's custom colour profiles are incredible, plus it also benefits from a new MP4 Lite format for 4K videos that are smaller and quicker to process than MP4. The price here gets you an 18-40mm lens included.

Vacuum cleaners

Samsung Jet 95S
Save 50% (AU$400)
Samsung Jet 95S: was AU$799 now AU$399 at JB Hi-Fi

Samsung has only slashed the price by AU$100, and no other retailer is currently matching JB Hi-Fi's half-price offer, making this the best vacuum cleaner deal I've seen in a very long time. That's more so because I can't fault this stick vac for anything — not its performance, its attachments or even its full price.

Dyson V8 Cyclone
USE CODE FUTURESAVE5
Save 29% (AU$186.35)
Dyson V8 Cyclone: was AU$649 now AU$462.65 at Dyson Australia

A sensational saving on the V8 Cyclone is perhaps the standout deal this Afterpay Day. An update to the iconic V8, you get better suction (150AW over 100AW) and a bigger battery (60 minutes of runtime compared to just 40). The newer model also gets three suction modes, as opposed to only two, and even in low power, our tests found it to be "sucky". And it’s also compatible with the self-emptying dock that’s sold separately.

Dyson V10 Konical + Auto-empty Dok
USE CODE FUTURESAVE5
Save 24% (AU$241.85)
Dyson V10 Konical + Auto-empty Dok: was AU$999 now AU$757.15 at Dyson Australia

Dyson’s first self-emptying cordless vacuum was a long time coming, but here it is. The V10 Konical has many of the same features as its V10 Cyclone sibling, including 150AW of suction power and up to 60 minutes of run time. It gets Dyson’s new All Floors Cones Sense floorhead to prevent tangled hair and, perhaps best of all, it includes the brand’s new auto-empty docking station that can hold up to 60 days/2.5L worth of dust.

Dyson V16 Piston Animal
USE CODE FUTURESAVE5
Save 23% (AU$327.40)

Dyson’s most powerful vacuum to date not only benefits from exceptional suction power but also incorporates a few useful design additions, such as a lever to squish dust in the canister to help extend cleaning sessions (and to easily push it out when you’re done), and a cuff at the top of the wand that releases nozzle attachments without you having to bend down. It also gets the company’s All Floors Cones Sense floorhead to help prevent tangled hair.

Kleva Krapof Auto Clean Auto Clean Self Empty Slim Power Vac
Save 28% (AU$250)
Kleva Krapof Auto Clean Auto Clean Self Empty Slim Power Vac: was AU$899 now AU$649 at Kleva Range

This might not be a popular brand and the name of the product is certainly tongue-in-cheek, but it's got a higher user rating on ProductReview than any Dyson! Plus it promises up to 450AW of suction, which is what you get from a Samsung vacuum that costs more than double this discounted price. And now I'm keen to try it for myself.

Appliances

Save 18% (AU$200)

This compact coffee machine brews a wonderful espresso time after time, and benefits from a manual steam wand that gives you super-silky, well-texturised milk (even non-dairy types). It's preset drinks menu is limited and its iced coffee isn't the best I've come across, but for a machine that will take up barely any space on your counter and give you a delicious brew every morning, it's well worth it.

Ninja Luxe Café Premier
Save 30% (AU$240.99)

This 3-in-1 coffee machine brews quality espresso, drip coffee and even fast cold brew using its Barista Assist technology, an integrated grinder and weight-based dosing. This price beats the all time low we saw at Black Friday last year.

USE CODE FUTURESAVE5
Save 43% (AU$644.95)
Dyson Purifier Big+Quiet Formaldehyde (Bright Nickel/Prussian Blue): was AU$1,499 now AU$854.05 at Dyson Australia

We have seen this impressive purifier drop lower in price during events like Black Friday, but it’s still a decent saving on a machine that can cater to larger, open spaces. Yes, it still carries a premium price tag, but this is a hugely capable device that’s super easy to move around and uses multiple filters to purify air of several pollutants. And in our review, we found it was really quiet, genuinely living up to its name.

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 2026?

Afterpay Day is usually held twice a year. The first sale took place in March, running from Thursday, March 19 to Sunday, March 22.

The second Afterpay Day officially started today, August 13 and will run until Sunday, August 16.

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. The first Afterpay Day of 2026 was held from Thursday March 19 and ran until Sunday, March 22.

How long do Afterpay Day sales last?

Afterpay Day sale events are held over four days, typically starting on a Thursday and ending on a Sunday.

What is Afterpay?

Afterpay is a buy now, pay later service that lets you split payments into four, interest-free instalments. Afterpay is an accepted form of payment both online and in many stores, though for in-store payments you will need to add a dedicated Afterpay card to your digital wallet.

There is an Afterpay Plus service that costs AU$9.99p/m. If you subscribe to this, then you can use a digital Afterpay card wherever contactless payments are accepted in stores. Payments are still split into four interest-free instalments.

Afterpay will give you a set amount of credit to spend. If you spend it all, you can't spend anything more on your Afterpay account until you've paid it back. You can setup automatic payments to withdraw from your main bank account to ensure you don't miss any payments.

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 2026: 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.
