Who will be the possible credit card partners for upcoming Flipkart Big billion day/Amazon Great Indian sale 2023?

[Das.N]

I will spend a big amount in various products in upcoming Festive season. And I have 4 Bank's core credit card ;SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis And two co branded Flipkart Axis and Amazon Pay ICICI. Can anyone give their valuable suggestion about, "Will those cards cover all the credit card discounts in big billion day, great Indian festive sale?" Or there is a chance of IDFC/Kotak/Indusind/AU to give discount offers this year?

When will happen?

 

[SSV]

The second leg of Festive sale doesn't give enough attractive offers like the first one. I am observing this for last few years. So I won't spend much in my HDFC card this year.

correct.. hence The moral of the story is, if HDF* wants to be a part of the biggest sale of the year in India, it has to come to the table with appropriate terms.. otherwise be left with 2nd grade sales..

When will happen?

After a few days of conclusion of the 1st leg.. as by that time the delivery boys will get some rest after their hectic duties..

BBD- icici, kotak,axis

HDFC has been running offers year round on both FK and Amazon but only on few categories and mostly on EMI only.
Being a leader I don't think they will ever come back to such sales unless ICICI or SBI or AXIS give them serious competition

Sameway, AMZN and FK are leaders in their field.. so it would be a tug of war between the leaders...
Sales all around the year is a different kettle of fish when compared to sales at the time of BBD/GIF

They don't need to compete is what they are saying I think

 

[SSV]

They don't need to compete is what they are saying I think

Yes, of course, that is why ecommerce giants are also not competing... instead allowing the competitors to be part of their biggest sales and these festival sales are growing in big numbers year on year...
Everyone plays their game to their merit..

 

[MangoRush]

Also, the fact that you can max have 1 card and addon-card also have same card number, it's less useful than others in such sales for heavy users

 

[Das.N]

I decided to take my first credit card because of those sales. One year, I missed many good deals in this sales because I didn't had any credit card then. Next year I decided to take HDFC credit card because I saw HDFC participating in this sales.
So, I can say Giving discount in this sales attracts many customers. And trigger them to spend higher.

and also get ready for "Curtain raiser deals sale" a few days before the actual sale for a few selected items... like this...

Also pre book deals.

Amazon won't give much big deals as flipkart.
And their card partner SBI is one step bogas.
They decreased the limit of many users including me.
I really don't understand how can people shop 30 40k limits
If they want to purchase things from amazon.
amazon don't even added HDFC or even Kotak into their sale.
How they did their marketing sales research really going over the head

 

[akshayhs]

Amazon should learn something from Flipkart. They collaborated with three card companies and Amazon went with only one.
That means we can avail more instant discounts per card in Flipkart. Thus their sales will be higher.
Amazon should have gone with at least two partners.
HDFC na mile to AU/Indusind hi sahi.

I am willing to bet it's more controlled by SBI than Amazon.

Yes. And they removes rewards if people purchased from amazon during sale.
In some cards no 5x rewards applicable.
Nothing

True. This is why I am flipping my SimplyClick card to BPCL. No point in using SimplyClick for 1 lakh spends for fee waiver.

Yes , during sales time Flipkart is the king. Amazon is good for purchases throughout the year but during Festive sale they can't beat Flipkart

Yes, correct.. but about 5 years ago AMZN was ruling this area where FK was nowhere near..
After the Walmart takeover, roles were reversed.. Amazon is not able to take on FK
