In October, the fourth batch of 690 billion yuan in "national subsidies" was officially launched, marking the closing chapter of the annual 300 billion yuan subsidy plan. According to official announcements, this batch of subsidies will continue to be distributed until 24:00 on December 31, 2025, after which it will end nationwide without extension. In other words, this is truly "the last wave."
1. National subsidies restart, merging with Double Eleven—the year's largest wave of benefits is here. The pace of this year's national subsidy policy aligns perfectly with consumers' shopping mentality. With Double Eleven and Double Twelve coming in succession, many people originally planned to wait until e-commerce promotions. However, "official subsidies" are already ahead of them. The Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission are directly dispatching 690 billion yuan, providing true tangible savings. Starting from October, nationwide subsidies for home appliances, home renovation, mobile devices, and car exchange are being disbursed, ranking among the hottest topics for Double Eleven.
Questions such as "How to receive national subsidies," "How to grab national subsidies," and "When do national subsidies end?" have become the most searched queries. According to the distribution pace, regions such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Sichuan still have relatively ample quotas, while consumer provinces like Guangdong, Shandong, and Henan have entered a "seconds-empty mode," with many reporting that "national subsidies cannot be grabbed at all, as they disappear in seconds." In Shanghai and Anhui, a "lottery coupon collection" mechanism is utilized, with some lucky winners already redeeming subsidies for air conditioners, refrigerators, dishwashers, and other major appliances.
2. Increased subsidy scale makes home appliances and home decoration the biggest winners. This time, the range of "national subsidies" is significantly broader compared to previous rounds, with marked increases in the subsidy amounts for home appliances and home renovation categories. For home appliances, energy-efficient products can enjoy a 20% price reduction, with a maximum reduction of 2,000 yuan per item. Various home appliances including air conditioners, refrigerators, water heaters, washing machines, and washer-dryer combos are included in this subsidy. Central air conditioning can be subsidized for up to three units. Many families are seizing the opportunity to update their old equipment, as this subsidy is comparable to "buying new at half price." Smart appliances are receiving policy support for the first time, with new products like dishwashers, robotic vacuum cleaners, water purifiers, smart lighting, study desks, and learning machines included in the subsidy list, truly covering every room from the living room to the bedroom and kitchen to study.
Additionally, in terms of building materials, this year has introduced new items like flooring, tiles, energy-saving doors and windows, insulation materials, and even projects for elder-friendly renovations can apply for subsidies, with a maximum reduction of 5,000 yuan per item. For homeowners renovating new homes or doing partial renovations, this wave of subsidies is undoubtedly a "timely rain." The digital product category also remains popular, with mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, and learning machines eligible for a maximum subsidy of 500 yuan, especially when combined with e-commerce red envelopes during Double Eleven, with prices of many high-end models nearly hitting "historical lows."
3. Real-name system and limited-time use to prevent scalping. Unlike before, this "national subsidy" round is stricter in terms of application and use. To prevent scalpers from hoarding and reselling coupons, the policy implements a real-name system binding—applicants must upload their ID card, old device SN code, new purchase invoice, and additional information. Once the subsidy qualification is obtained, it must be used within 48 hours; otherwise, the system will automatically recover and redistribute it. Meanwhile, local subsidy systems have fixed distribution periods each day; for example, the household appliance subsidy application entry in Sichuan opens precisely at 9 AM daily, while the Guangxi national subsidy collection entry happens around 10 AM. Users in Qingdao and Shandong have reported that logging into the JD app and searching for "家電補貼551" can go directly to the subsidy page. In Beijing, the appliance subsidy policy aligns with online access, allowing consumers to participate by searching "京東APP搜索【領大紅包507】."
4. Can subsidies be combined with red envelopes? Here’s how to grab coupons for Double Eleven. If the "national subsidies" are the official boosts, then the Double Eleven platform red envelopes are just the icing on the cake. To maximize the benefits of subsidies, combining discounts is key. Open the JD app and search for "紅包800" or "數碼補貼114" to collect red envelopes three times daily, with a maximum of 11,111 yuan, and there's a chance to stack it with "national subsidies." For home appliances, search for "家電補貼551," choose categories such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines, and receive the subsidy; for digital products, search for "手機補貼900," and it can deduct up to 500 yuan. A smarter approach is to save these codes ahead; you can access them daily from your historical searches to save re-entering them.
Many netizens have already shared experiences—"The success rate for grabbing coupons is highest at 10 AM" and "The quantity refreshes in the evening will release a minimal amount," which have become hotly discussed "money-saving secrets" among netizens nationally.
5. Progress of national subsidies across the country: some are quickly gone, while others are still being issued. Currently, the progress of "national subsidies" varies by province: in major consumer provinces like Henan, Hunan, and Shandong, local systems are experiencing peak periods, with many users reporting that subsidy quotas are "becoming harder to grab day by day." However, areas like Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Hubei are relatively stable, with subsidy amounts still reasonably ample. Beijing and Shanghai employ a more unique collection method, implementing a "first-come, first-served + lottery mechanism," with some users receiving SMS notifications of winning and needing to make purchases within 48 hours. Officials remind consumers that subsidy amounts are updated in real-time in each region, suggesting that consumers closely monitor the "領國補858" feature on the JD app to check nationwide issuance progress, preventing them from missing the best application period.
6. Time is running out; if you miss this round, you'll have to wait until next year. The current subsidy will continue until 24:00 on December 31, 2025, but the Ministry of Finance has clearly stated that—no extensions, no additional funds. Once this round of 690 billion yuan is dispersed, the policy will immediately conclude. From the current trend, it's anticipated that from mid-November, popular categories like air conditioners, smartphones, central air conditioning systems, and car exchanges will gradually sell out, and some local systems may close early. Many netizens lament, "Last year I hesitated and missed out, but this year I finally made the purchase." Whether it's replacing an old water heater for parents, adding a learning machine for kids, or preparing to renovate a new house before the year ends, this "national subsidy + Double Eleven" overlap practically covers all of the year’s essential needs. Don’t wait until the end of the year to regret it; the official has made it clear—subsidies will not be extended, and this opportunity only comes once.
Conclusion: Real money subsidies mean you'll lose out if you don't act. This year's national subsidy policy has led many to reevaluate the meaning of "saving money." Unlike previous years, this is not a marketing gimmick from businesses but real cash refunds from the state. For every family planning renovations, replacements, or new digital purchases, every subsidy now is actual cash. Time will not wait for anyone, and the subsidy amounts will certainly not wait. Open the JD app and search "家電補貼551" or "紅包800." The moment you grab your qualification, you are one step closer to saving thousands. Seize the last window period while the heat of Double Eleven is high—waiting until next year may really mean missing out.
