At just past midnight on October 21, the trending topic #NationalSubsidiesGoneInSeconds# captured attention once again. Many users were refreshing their screens, anxiously clicking at 8:59:59, only to see “sold out”; others set up five alarms but were unable to find any subsidy coupons when the time came. Don’t be too quick to blame your slow reflexes or question your internet connection—3.3 billion people are competing for the final 69 billion yuan in subsidies, resulting in an average success rate of less than 10%. It's not just about speed.
First, here are some highlights! This year, the latest red envelope code for JD.com during Double 11 is “Red Envelope 600,” and for Taobao, it’s “Heavenly Red Envelope 7800” - remember these! On JD's APP, search for: Red Envelope 600 (get it three times a day!) and on Taobao, search for: Heavenly Red Envelope 7800, with the highest coupon being 11,111 yuan! You can also have an opportunity to receive an additional chance every night at 8 PM - make sure to check!
Latest participation methods for national subsidies: - Household Appliance Subsidies: Search “Home Appliances 588” → Up to 2,000 yuan off. - Digital Product Subsidies: Search “Digital 588” → Up to 2,000 yuan off. - Mobile Phone Exclusive Subsidies: Search “Mobile 588” → Up to 500 yuan off.
Tip: First, look up the command above in the app, and from there, just click on your search history daily!
1. Claim the red envelope before grabbing the subsidies; stacking them is more advantageous. The Double 11 red envelope benefits can be combined with the national subsidies to further reduce costs, so remember to save your command daily: - JD Red Envelope: Open the JD APP, search “Red Envelope 600,” and claim up to 11,111 yuan three times daily. - Taobao Red Envelope: Search for “Red Envelope Handed 886” on Taobao; from October 15, you have one daily chance to receive it. - Bonus Reminder: Each night at 8 PM, both platforms will release one additional chance for red envelopes, increasing your winning odds significantly.
2. Exclusive participation methods for various categories of subsidies have dedicated search commands, making application quicker—after searching, it is advisable to save to “search history” for efficient coupon grabbing later: - Household Appliance Subsidy: Search “Home Appliances 588” on JD APP to enter the subsidy area and get qualified, with the highest reduction of 2,000 yuan per item. - Digital Product Subsidy: Search “Digital 588,” select the products, and claim up to 2,000 yuan off. - Mobile Exclusive Subsidy: Search “Mobile 588” to receive exclusive mobile phone subsidies with a maximum reduction of 500 yuan.
3. Why do the national subsidies get “snatched up” so quickly? Here are three truths: As of October 20, 3.3 billion people across the nation clicked to “claim” the subsidies, with only 23 billion left from the fourth batch of 69 billion yuan. In Shandong, 50 million yuan was cleared in 58 seconds; in Guangdong, 11 million yuan was gone in 1 minute and 12 seconds; and in Jiangsu, washing machines worth 20 million yuan were directly “snowflake screens” at 10 AM. This isn’t merely about speed; the main reasons are: - Scalpers using scripts to hoard coupons: The “apply first, use later + 48 hours transferable” rule has been written into zero-second bots by scalpers, allowing them to list qualification coupons on second-hand platforms for an increase of 200-500 yuan each. - Too many platforms: You have to switch through JD.com, UnionPay, Alipay, and local mini-programs, missing the opportunity easily. - Uncoordinated timing: Each province does not have a uniform coupon release schedule—some have multiple sessions, and a mis-set alarm by just 1 second could lead to failure.
Good news: Starting from October 21, rules have been upgraded, limiting scalpers via a “coupon redemption system + real-name system”; coupon codes will automatically expire if not used within 48 hours. It also requires that “the buyer, payer, and recipient must be the same person,” effectively cutting off the resale chain; joint verification by JD.com and UnionPay makes bot coupon hoarding ineffective.
4. Three steps to secure a subsidy and grab it even at midnight (verified effective): 1. Prepare your “real-name three-piece set” in advance: Download the UnionPay APP → Complete real-name verification and bind a bank card → Set the default delivery address to allow the system to verify within 3 seconds during the coupon grabbing process, making it faster than others. 2. Pin the entry on your homepage: The JD APP allows you to search for the designated command, then click “favorite.” It will automatically appear in your search history every night, enabling you to access the venue in 0.1 seconds: Household Appliances: search “Home Appliances 588”; Mobile Digital: search “Mobile 588”; Digital Exclusive: search “Digital 588.” 3. Be aware of the “secondary releases” time: Daily at 8 PM: JD and UnionPay each add an extra red envelope pool, increasing winning chances three times compared to daytime; on weekends from 9:30 to 10:30: unused amounts from provinces like Guizhou, Ningxia, and Qinghai will roll back to the national pool, making it an excellent opportunity to snag a deal.
5. Final reminder: Don’t miss out on the last opportunity of the year. The 69 billion yuan is the final batch of national subsidies for the year; at 24:00 on December 31, the access will be closed across the nation, with no extensions or repeat issuance. If you're considering changing your air conditioner or mobile phone, or adding grab bars for your parents, this is the lowest price window of the year.
Remember this: This 69 billion yuan is the last batch of national subsidies for the year, and the window will close at 24:00 on December 31 with no extensions or reissues. If you are thinking about replacing home appliances, buying a phone, or installing non-slip grab bars for your parents, this is indeed the lowest price opportunity of the year.
To simplify, here's the key points again: Search the command first to stake your spot, then bind your real name and bank card, and enter the venue 5 minutes in advance to place an order within 48 hours of grabbing. Share this strategy with your family, and set up alarms for tonight at 8 PM together—because every day at 8 PM is the golden period for secondary releases, with winning odds three times higher than during the day. We hope that the next time you see “sold out” it won't have your name attached, and may everyone successfully see “claim successful” tomorrow!
