Slash Offers

1. Base sale price first - never stack anything on the inflated 'MRP'. Verify the pre-sale price with a price tracker.

2. Bank/card offer second - usually the single biggest cut. Check the card portal before checkout.

3. Coupon code third - search '[site] coupon [month]' before paying. Cashback sites often have exclusives.

4. Wallet cashback last - and only count it if you'd shop there anyway. Points aren't money until spent.

5. Exchange/buy-back offers - take them only after checking the item's resale value yourself.

Why order matters: percentage offers apply to the running total. Biggest percentage first = smaller base for the rest.

EMI 'no cost' offers: the discount is often just the interest renamed. Compare against the cash price, always.

Warranty extension at checkout: usually the worst value in retail. Card warranties often already cover it.

Cashback portals after card offers: activate the portal session first, then pay with the offer card. Order matters.

Festive bank sales stack with existing offers - plan big buys for sale calendars, not whims.

Student discounts never expire quietly: most brands keep them forever with a college ID or .edu email.

Corporate benefit portals hide the best codes - check yours before any electronics purchase.
