The first Afterpay Day of 2026 is right around the corner, officially kicking off tomorrow, March 19. Yet, you may have already come across Afterpay Day deals already this week in Australia, and it's true that some brands have already gone live with their offers — clearly they've been feeling extra generous.
That means it's time for me to get my deal-hunting hat on, and you can view my initial finds further below. As with any Afterpay Day though, you'll need to be quick to take advantage of any savings, as the four-day sale will come to an end on Sunday, March 22.
My team and I will be keeping this page updated throughout the four days, so be sure to check back regularly for any new deals that we spot. As expected, I've already found a plethora of attractive discounts on the likes of headphones, smartphones, vacuum cleaners and other kitchen appliances. This is just the tip of the iceberg, however, and I'll be sure to continue populating the list of deals below.
For now though, take a look at what I have found so far and, if you see a price you like on a product you've been pining for, be sure to add it to your cart before time runs out.
Oh, and in case the Afterpay Day sales weren't enough for you, you can also follow along with our live coverage of the Amazon Big Smile Sale, which comes to a close on Monday, March 23.

These earbuds might seem too cheap to be any good, but rest assured we've given them a listen and can confidently vouch for the performance you're getting for such a low price. Great ANC, great sound and a comfortable fit.
We rate the WF-C510 as one of the best pairs of budget earbuds you can buy, as they deliver a lively, engaging sound, with good passive noise isolation, all in a comfortable, compact design. The best price is on the white model.
They may have now been replaced by a newer model, but the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are still a fantastic set of in-ear headphones, delivering punchy, detailed sound and excellent ANC. Samsung Galaxy phone owners benefit the most, being able to unlock high-resolution audio, too.
This JBL speaker is capable of dishing out loud, well-defined audio, making it a great option to use outdoors. It's built incredibly tough, has excellent battery life and even has a shoulder strap to help you carry it. To get the deal price here, first get yourself an exclusive and unique JBL coupon code.
We have seen this Bose speaker go quite a lot lower in price, so it's a bit of a shame it hasn't received such a great discount for Afterpay Day. Still, we think even at full price it's worth it, as it serves up a sound far bigger than its size would suggest. It's waterproof and dustproof too.
A regular feature in all our deals round ups, the Sony XM4s still more than hold their own in a crowded space, despite being close to 5 years old. They're comfortable, sound fantastic, and benefit from very capable ANC. The best price is on the Silver model (pictured).
Arguably one of the best headphones we've tested with Dolby Atmos support, the Sonos Ace is also one of the better-looking and more comfortable cans. If you've been eying them for a while, there's a decent saving at The Good Guys when you hit the Price Beat button.
Our esteemed colleagues at What Hi-Fi? said this turntable from JBL is a surefire winner in the budget space. It has a great quality built-in phono output making connection to an amplifier as easy as possible (but you can bypass it if you wish) or you can stream via Bluetooth to a wireless speaker. It also looks pretty darn good in our opinion, especially in the black and orange guise on sale here. If you're looking for an affordable turntable upgrade, or a solid starting point to enter the world of vinyl, this JBL spinner is an excellent choice.
Utilising TCL’s latest QD mini-LED technology, the C7K is a premium yet affordable TV that should suit most Australian homes. High brightness, vibrant colours and deep blacks promise to elevate your home movie nights, while a built-in Bang & Olufsen speaker system could make you think twice about investing in a soundbar.
We haven't reviewed the C8K just yet, but our esteemed colleagues at What Hi-Fi? have recently given it a glowing five-star review, claiming it to be "one of TCL's most exciting TVs yet". For the money, you get excellent brightness, superb colours and backlight control and, as is now practically customary for a TCL TV, incredible value for money – especially with a discount.
The Q990F is the best Dolby Atmos soundbar system around. It gets a more compact subwoofer compared to its predecessor, and is capable of delivering even greater low end weight, combined with a soundbar and speakers delivering clear, powerful audio in an 11.1.4-channel setup.
This isn't exactly an Afterpay Day deal, but I felt compelled to include this Exetel NBN plan as it's sensational value for money at just AU$80p/m for 500 Mbps download speeds. There are extra perks available including speed boosts.
Kogan Internet Gold Plus | 500 Mbps | AU
For the cheapest first year cost though, you can't ignore Kogan Internet's NBN 500 plan. Coming in a smidge over AU$71p/m for the first 12 months, this is excellent value for money. The ongoing cost can be beaten, but this is still a great deal from a positively reviewed provider.
• AU
The Prism+ X340 Pro, a 180 Hz curved 21:09 (3440x 1440) ultrawide monitor, has a 1ms response time and AMD Freesync support, and an image contrasting ratio of 4000:1. It's not the highest-end display but it's hard to think of a a better deal for this assortment of specs – particularly with 42% shaved off the price.
I have seen it go lower in price before, but this is currently the best deal I can find on the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle. This is a fantastic console that improves upon its predecessor in more ways than one. The large 7.9-inch display and more powerful internal specs, the Switch 2 comfortably make it the best hybrid console you can buy.
If you want to make your movies or gaming more immersive, adding this Govee backlight will do just the trick. The lights can sync up to any form of entertainment using the included camera, or you can set the lightstrip dance along to your favourite tunes.
A nice discount on this wildly popular new co-op platformer, from the makers of It Takes Two. You and your chosen partner will travel through this epic narrative as Mio and Zoe, two writers trapped in a simulation of their imaginations after an attempt to steal their ideas goes terribly wrong.
This isn't a huge discount admittedly, but considering we still think this is one of the best tablets you can buy, any discount if welcome. If you're looking for a tablet for casual usage — think reading news, watching videos — there's nothing better.
A decent saving on Apple's cheapest smart watch. Built to be accessible, this third generation smart watch is perhaps the best-value model in Apple's lineup. It now benefits from the Always On display, and it has the same processor chip as the Series 11 and Ultra 2, meaning it's lightning fast in use.
The Osmo 360 is the first 360º camera from drone maker DJI and is relatively more affordable than the competition from Insta 360. You get excellent 8K performance, it works with DJI's mics, and there's built-in storage to rely on in a pinch. You can't swap out lenses as the in the Insta 360 X5, but you still get some very nice, immersive footage that's well stabilised.
It's already a very affordable APS-C camera kit, so even a small discount makes it worthwhile. For your money, you get a 24.2MP beginner-friendly camera that includes creative modes to simplify taking photos. Plus you get 4K/30p (6K oversampling) video on board too.
The Lumix S9 kit is a fantastic option for content creators, and this 40% discount makes it well worth investing in. Featuring 6K 'open gate' video, Panasonic's excellent real-time LUTs, and impressive image stabilisation, the S9 brings an extremely competitive set of video-focused features for the price. While photographers will be better served with other bodies, the S9 is a great choice for beginner videographers in particular. The best price is on the green and dark silver colour options.
It has gone slightly lower before, but this is a pretty good price for a 40MP camera with the speed to match some of the more popular full-frame options from Canon and Nikon. It's also fast and has good autofocus performance too. You'll also get 8K video recording if you need it. With a lens in the box to get you started, this APS-C kit is worth considering for enthusiasts and pros alike.
A monster saving on an incredibly popular Shark vacuum cleaner that's hard to ignore. If you're looking to spend as little as possible on a new vacuum cleaner, but you also want something that's going to actually perform, look no further.
A great price for what we consider to be an excellent stick vacuum cleaner. Not only does it clean carpets and hard floors, but it also has a mopping head for deeper cleaning. Battery life is also decent at 60 minutes.
If you've got a hankering for pizza but want to make your own at home, this pizza oven from Breville will do just that. It emulates a traditional wood-fired pizza oven and can heat up to 400ºC, creating an intense heat that ensures a perfect pie every time. Looks can be deceiving, though, as this appliance will take up a microwave-sized portion of countertop space and weighs around 15kg. Hit the Price Beat button for the best price.
This 3-in-1 coffee machine brews quality espresso, drip coffee and even fast cold brew using its Barista Assist technology, an integrated grinder and weight-based dosing. This price beats the all time low we saw at Black Friday last year.
We said in our De'Longhi La Specialista Touch review that this is "one of the best espresso machines you can buy" thanks to its compact dimensions, great looks and the fact it's semi-automatic, meaning you can have as much, or as little, input into your coffee as you'd like. The best part? No matter which route you choose, you'll be rewarded with a delicious coffee and expertly-frothed milk.
It's not the lowest price we've ever seen, but it's still a good saving on what we consider to be the best Nespresso machine out there thanks to its use of the Vertuo pods. They come in a range of cup and mug sizes and an integrated milk frother. It performs exceptionally well, too, and will brew your morning cuppa in no time at all. Hit the Price Beat button for the best price.
This attractive bean-to-cup espresso machine for Aussie brand Sunbeam makes a fine addition to any kitchen. It can extract a wonderful shot of epsresso, but its headline feature is a thermometer built into the steam wand and four temp settings for various dairy milk alternatives. It also sports a built-in conical burr grinder for precision grinding, and it also has easy, one-button cleaning. To get the best price, make sure to hit the Price Beat button.
A good price here on Dyson's intelligent hair dryer, which is designed to dry your hair faster and without the possibility of heat damage thanks to its new Scalp Protect mode.
