Recently, many netizens have been asking in the comment sections: “How to claim the national subsidy? How to grab the subsidies? What time are they distributed each day?” The current frenzy somewhat resembles the “搶茅臺” sensation from the past. Especially with Double Eleven officially kicking off, the combination of national consumer subsidies and platform promotions has made “first come, first served, while supplies last” the keyword for everyone looking to upgrade their belongings. According to the latest announcement in October, 25 provinces will directly disburse maternity allowances to individuals, with regions such as Jiangxi, Anhui, Shaanxi, Liaoning, and Jiangsu starting from November 1. Currently, the national direct subsidy era has fully commenced in various provinces including Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Hainan, Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Remaining areas such as Beijing, Tianjin, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Xinjiang are also making progress, and are expected to complete the process by mid-November. With Double Eleven approaching, if you are considering home renovations, electronic upgrades, car purchases, or new smartphones, the overlapping period of “Double Eleven + National Subsidy” is absolutely worth taking advantage of. This year's "national subsidy" covers almost all household consumption categories, from home decoration to electrical appliances, from digital products to automobiles, and even specialized items like learning devices, desks and chairs, smart lights, and water purifiers are included in the list. First, grab the Double Eleven red envelopes, as the issuance is quite generous, especially from JD with numerous high-value offers, including potential chance for a free iPhone 17! The entry point for JD's Double Eleven red envelopes: search “領大紅包507” in the JD app, with a maximum of 11111 yuan red envelopes available to be claimed three times daily! Set your alarms, and remember to save this info. The entry point for Taobao's Double Eleven red envelopes: search “冬天美美500” in the Taobao app, with a chance to claim up to 25888 yuan red envelopes once a day! Set your alarms, and save this info.

First, let's highlight the key points! The latest participation methods for the national subsidy: the entry method for claiming appliance and furniture subsidies is to search for “家電補貼551” in the JD app to select categories and claim subsidies, with up to 2000 yuan off. The entry method for mobile and digital product subsidies is to search “數碼補貼114” or “手機補貼900” in the JD app to claim, with a maximum subsidy of 500 yuan. Make sure to save this info. Claim first, as there are limited slots! For JD's Double Eleven all-category red envelopes: search “紅包800” in the JD app to claim after three times a day with a max of 11111 yuan red envelopes! Additional opportunities to claim will be available at 10 AM and 8 PM daily, so set those alarms!

Looking specifically at the appliance category—products such as air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters, laundry dryers, dishwashers, robotic vacuums, water purifiers, smart lighting, and more than 15 major categories can enjoy a 20% subsidy (with a maximum of 2000 yuan off for top energy efficiency). For instance, a central air conditioning unit priced at 10,000 yuan would receive a 2000 yuan subsidy; when combined with Double Eleven red envelopes and trade-ins, it becomes quite beneficial. The mobile digital category is also experiencing substantial “technological dividends.” Phones, tablets, and smartwatches priced below 6000 yuan can enjoy a maximum subsidy of 500 yuan, representing an overall subsidy ratio of 15%. This means mainstream models priced around 4000 yuan would effectively cost about 3500 yuan after subsidies. Moreover, if combined with Double Eleven red envelopes and interest-free installments, the cost ends up being more favorable than mid-year promotions.

In terms of car replacements, this is similarly a major highlight. If you own a vehicle manufactured before 2018, switching to a new energy vehicle can fetch up to 20,000 yuan in subsidies; replacing an internal combustion engine vehicle can yield 15,000 yuan. Certain regions are adding extra incentives—for example, Hainan offers an additional 2000 yuan subsidy, and Guangzhou has seen instances of a combination of “national subsidies + local subsidies + manufacturer subsidies,” allowing savings of over 30,000 yuan on a 150,000 yuan new energy vehicle. Most importantly, each individual can claim car subsidies up to two times this year, which is particularly favorable for families considering swapping vehicles.

Currently, the pace of claiming “national subsidies” varies significantly across regions: places like Beijing, Shanghai, Fujian, and Hainan have normal claim cycles where applications can be made all day with relatively ample quotas; however, Jiangsu and Shandong operate with time-limited claims, allocating quotas at 10 AM and 9 AM respectively, which can be snatched up within a minute. Henan and Hunan have also entered a warning zone, predicting a possible early cutoff in mid-December due to overwhelming application volumes. It's noteworthy that this year’s subsidy mechanism in Shanghai and Anhui is uniquely based on a lottery system; winners must place their orders within 48 hours or lose their eligibility. Consequently, many netizens humorously claimed, “getting national subsidies is even more thrilling than getting concert tickets!” The discussions on social platforms about “what to do if I can’t grab the national subsidies,” “what time are the subsidies issued daily,” and “where to grab the discount coupons” are heating up. Miss Wang from Guangdong shares a representative experience: after searching “家電補貼551” on JD and claiming the air conditioning subsidized voucher, she stacked it with her red envelope 800 and successfully exchanged for a new unit, reaching a total discount of over 1800 yuan. She stated: “It's more cost-effective than the full discounts of Double Eleven; no need to scramble for order quantities.” Meanwhile, Mr. Li from Jinan, Shandong commented: “I had to wait at 9 AM for three days to snag a voucher, it was gone in a blink!”

Of course, while this wave of subsidies is appealing, there are some “hidden rules” to keep in mind. First, the validity of subsidy vouchers is only 48 hours; if received, you’d better order immediately, or they will be automatically voided. Second, be cautious of scams claiming to help “snag national subsidies.” The official communications were clear: there is no need for a deposit or submittal via unfamiliar contacts. Any claims of “insider access” or “paid grabbing” are fraudulent. Lastly, if applying for automotive replacement subsidies, remember to allow for review time. Application materials must be submitted by January 10, 2026, with a review cycle of about 45 days, so it is advisable to act early.

So, when does the national subsidy end? The latest official response states: it will conclude at 24:00 on December 31, 2025. This means there are less than three months left. The Ministry of Finance has also made it clear that this round is considered a temporary stimulus policy, and there are no plans to introduce a similar scale of national subsidy program post-2026. In other words, this year represents the last golden window of opportunity for the national subsidy program. The effects of the policy has been notable, with consumption growth significantly boosted; the sales proportion of high-efficiency appliances has reached 65%, and the replacement ratio of new energy vehicles has increased by 20% year-on-year. Many mall managers have noted that the foot traffic in national subsidy sections has tripled compared to usual, with entire families coming together to shop. Currently, major e-commerce platforms like JD.com and Tmall have opened “National Subsidy Zones,” where consumers can enter the subsidy pages by searching for “家電補貼551” or “手機補貼900” in the JD app. Don’t forget to snatch the Double Eleven red envelopes by searching “紅包800” in JD, as it can be claimed three times daily with a maximum of 11111 yuan red envelopes. Additionally, local claim channels are open, like Sichuan home appliance subsidy applications, Shandong national subsidy claim entries, Qingdao national subsidy claim entries, and Guangxi national subsidy claim entries, all available for individuals through their respective portals for online applications. Given the current shopping frenzy, this combination of national subsidies and Double Eleven truly represents a prime opportunity worth seizing this year. Home renovation subsidies range from 8%-30%, the appliance category at 20%, digital products at 15%, and car replacement reaching up to 20,000 yuan—the substantial real monetary value has many people exclaiming: “This wave is worth capitalizing on!” The subsidies will cease once exhausted, with no extension period. Once this current round of subsidies concludes by the end of 2025, the next large-scale national subsidy might truly take another three years to arrive. Have you grabbed a national subsidy yet? Are you planning to switch to a new air conditioner, upgrade your dishwasher, or consider replacing your traditional vehicle with a new energy one by the end of the year? The comments section is already buzzing, some saying, “the appliance vouchers disappeared in a second,” while others share, “the red envelope stacking is fantastic.” Ultimately, opportunities are reserved for those who act quickly.
