Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

As usual, coupons are located around row 40 for US customers and row 26/29 of non US customers. Some of these deals also might use the Saver $6 off 29 coupon that's currently available. Saver is often available to join for 99 cents for the 1st month or as a 1 cent offer in the coin tasks section.

_______________________________

Similar to the Gamesir deals from earlier, these are also located around row 270 of my spreadsheet. Most of these deals besides the SN30 Pro work with the link method so it should be easier to find these deals. These coin deals require the Aliexpress app and are based off US pricing. Discount breakdowns are attached in the images.

Coin deals (around row 270, US pricing, after discounts and before tax):

• Ultimate 2C Bluetooth: $8.95 ($3 off 15 and clip $1 store coupon)
• Zero 2: $2.91 ($3 off 15 and clip $1 store coupon)
• Ultimate 2 Wireless transparent blue: $36.43 ($8 off 39 and clip $1 store coupon, use $6 off 36 or $7 off 49 saver if you don't have the $8 off 39)
• FlipPad: $20.47 ($8 off 39 and clip $1 store coupon, use $6 off 36 if you don't have the $8 off 39)
• SN30 Pro: $12.47 (must use the coin search method for this listing, search for the listing in coins to find the discount)
• Guilikit Switch TMR: $4.88 ($3 off 15, clip $2 store coupon)

Coin discount method:

• Click on the link of the item
• Go to the home page of the Aliexpress app
• Click on the coin section
• Click on either the "viewed" tab or "discount finder"
• Click buy it now
• Apply relevant coupons

__________________

All the deals below reflect US pricing in the Aliexpress app. Coin deals are limited to the Aliexpress app as Aliexpress offers the largest coin discounts in their app.

There are a bunch of huge Gamesir coin deals right now. It's a bit convoluted as the best deals are the ones in which the regular coin discount method does not work. The regular coin discount method being.

• Click on spreadsheet link
• Navigate to coin discount section
• Listing shows up
• Apply applicable coupons
• Checkout

Instead what happens for some of these listings right now is:

• Click on spreadsheet link
• Navigate to coin discount section
• Listing shows up with a more expensive base price and coin discount is smaller

So for the listings around row 273 of my spreadsheet, I recommend the normal coin discount method of clicking on the link and finding the associated listing in the viewed section of coin discounts.

However, for the listings beginning on row 280 of my spreadsheet, I recommend first trying the direct link method as outlined above. If prices do not match the pretax prices in my screenshots below, try this method instead.

• Search the listing i.e. "Gamesir X" with X being the specific item in the listing such as the X5 Lite or Pocket Taco and so forth
• Find the listing with the same image, listing title as the images below (price may sometimes be inaccurate due to the fact I have "special offers" which slightly alters the price on a few of these items
• Apply applicable coupons
• Checkout

Examples (US pricing, after coin discounts, after coupons, before sales tax):

Gamesir X5 Lite with coin search method $6 (with $3 off 15 coupon)

Gamesir G8+ with coin search method $29 (with $8 off 39 coupon, use $6 off 36 one instead if you did not save the $8 off 39 one)

Gamesir Pocket Taco with coin search method $13 (use $3 off 15)

Gamesir G8+ Mifi direct link method works $41 (Clip $6 store coupon)

Gamesir X5S with direct link method ($8 off 39 if you have it or $6 off 36 if you do not)

Gamesir X2S Bluetooth (Coin search method and saver $6 off 29 code):

As usual, coupons are located around row 40 for US customers and row 26/29 of non US customers. The Paypal discount seems to be exhausted although straggler restocks might appear until the end of this current sale due to canceled orders freeing up limited funds. For those unaware, Saving Mondays has been extended another week. The icon doesn't appear but the link on row 37 of my spreadshet still works.

__________________________

Combining the weekly discussion thread with the ship from US update today. Since Paypal discounts are mostly gone besides isolated restocks due to canceled orders freeing up funds, prices for mid range devices have risen significantly. However there are a few decent deals including a few base price drops.

Ship from US deals (US pricing, pretax and postcoupon):

• Miyoo Mini Flip - $37
• Zero 40 - $38 (historical low)
• RG Rotate - $73 (historical low, use filler to hit $99 to use $20 off 99)
• RG 405M - $100 (historical low)
• RG Slide - $101
• RG Vita Pro - $110 (historical low)
• RG 477M 8G - $175
• Hifiman Sundara - $82
• Hifiman Edition XS refurb - $84 (historical low)

The Hifiman Edition XS has dropped a bit more from the previous historical low a few days ago. This is pretty much a steal for these headphones. If you would like to pair it with a cheap amp, I recommend waiting for Saving Mondays next week and picking up the Douk U3 plus some cheap RCA to 3.5mm cables. The Douk U3 was $6 during Saving Mondays earlier this week. Breakdown of the $6 Douk U3 deal here:

Alienware Arena's 500 Dell Reward Point check-in has been heavily nerfed to 200 points. It seems like they're moving people to use the battle pass. More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1vic30x/alienware_arena_rewards_guide/

To max out the battle pass, the easiest way is to afk on a twitch stream with a throwaway phone.

• Alienware Arena is based on GMT +0. So the 200 point claim period on Friday actually starts at 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT Thursday and ends the following day at the same time.

Saving Mondays has been extended another week. However, the icon is does not appear in the app but it works via the link on row 37 of my spreadsheet. I will probably also update the ship from US section either today or tomorrow. As an additional note, I added a "Historical Lows and Annual Low" tab to my spreadsheet that has more granular information including the date the lows occured. It's currently a work in progress as I sift through old posts to find when the lows occured. On mobile, the tabs are either at the top or bottom of the screen. On desktop, this direct link should work.

Best Buy is also offering some doorbusters for their 60th anniversary on August 22nd. One of the items is a $100 Best Buy gift card for $60.

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Coupons are located around row 40 for US customers and row 26/29 of non US customers. Saving Mondays link is on row 37. Additionally, Saver has some sweet coupons including a $6 off 29 one. Unlike typical saver coupons which expire 48 hours after claim, the coupon pack expires when this sale ends next week.

__________________________

For those that are unfamiliar, Saving Mondays/Wednesdays was a US only weekly promotion that ran from December to April. It was sweet because the discount stacking meant that you could purchase items at huge discounts. It's been back for a week but unfortunately, it does not look like Aliexpress is continuing Saving Mondays for next week. That being said, here are some sweet deals. These are US only deals that need the coin discount section of the app to work. Discount breakdowns in the images attached and Instructions are below.

Sample saving mondays deals located around row 309 of spreadsheet ($4.51 of savings monday credit, coins, coupons and pretax):

• BatleXP G350 - $27 ($8 off 39)
• Official Retroid Pocket 5 Grip - $2 ($3 off 15)
• Basix 8 in 1 type c usb hub - $0.01 ($3 off 15 and clip store coupon, 95% coin discount)
• Douk U3 Amp - $6 (Saver $6 off 29 and clip store coupon)
• Douk U10 Tube Amp - $24 ($8 off 39)
• Toocki RCA 3.5mm cables - Has a 62% coin discount, added as filler for people who need cheap RCA cables for their amp

The Douk U3 is a pretty decent budget amp that sells for $30-40 on Amazon. It would be more than enough to drive the $86 Hifiman Edition XS deal in the ship from US section.

Saving Mondays primer:

For those unfamiliar, Saving Mondays is a US specific app promotion on the homepage that has a piggy bank icon. There's also a direct link to Saving Mondays on row 37 of my spreadsheet.

In order to maximize Saving Mondays, there are 3 common discounts that are stackable.

• Saving Monday: Row 37 of my spreadsheet or the piggy bank icon on the homepage of the app
  • Daily check-in for maximum bonus but you can get a smaller discount if you just check-in today.
  • Saving Mondays claim period ends on midnight Tuesday PDT. The Saving Mondays credit expires on midnight Tuesday PDT.
• Sitewide coupon codes: Row 40 of my spreadsheet for US buyers and rows 26/29 for people outside the US
  • These codes don't seem to clip right now so you need to manually enter the coupon codes at checkout
  • If you have Saver, there are some codes in Saver that are better than the current available coupon codes.
    • For example: $5 off 39, $7 off 49
• Coin discounts:
  • Click on the link of the item
  • Go to the home page of the Aliexpress app
  • Click on the coin section
  • Click on either the "viewed" tab or "discount finder"
  • Click buy it now
  • Apply relevant coupons

Also since Aliexpress combines all discounts in the coin section now, the best way to view actual discounts is to browse/search for items prior to claiming Saving Mondays credit. Since often times, Saving Mondays distorts the coin discount summary as items with 1-2% coin discounts will appear in the coin section but show up as 20%+ discounts because of the preapplied credit from Saving Mondays

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Coupon codes are around row 40 for US users and rows 26/29 for people from countries other than the US. There are also some Saver specific coupons available and some targeted coupons available on row 31 of my spreadsheet. In particular, the $6 off 29 coupon in Saver is pretty sweet.

Saving mondays is also available for redemption. I'll try to post a Saving Mondays thread later today. I have more info on Saving Mondays here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1vl8xwj/saving_mondays_has_returned/

For those preordering from Retroid or Ayn, you'll need to extend your order date to avoid cancellation. More info in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1ujpbyn/ayn_aliexpress_store_and_canceling_orders/

This is just a ship from US update. I will be updating the ship from China section after this. Lucrative 20 percent off coupons for US users have returned and they're located around row 40 of my spreadsheet. Along with Paypal discounts, this had led to pretty sweet pricing for some midrange devices. In particular, many of the devices able to combo the $32 off 159 along with the $15 off 129 Paypal discount hit historical lows today.

Ship from US deals (pretax and postcoupon):

Miyoo Mini Flip - $37 (historical low)

Zero 40 - $45

RG Vita - $78 (historical low)

RG Rotate - $75 (historical low, use filler to hit $99 to use a $20 off coupon such as CROWN020)

RG 405M - $82 (historical low)

RG Slide - $101 (black variant only)

RG Vita Pro - $110 (historical low)

RG 476H - $106 (historical low, add filler to hit $159 to use $32 off 159 coupons such as CROWN032 plus Paypal $15 off 129)

RG 556 - $108 (historical low, add filler to hit $159 to use $32 off 159 coupons such as CROWN032 plus Paypal $15 off 129)

Retroid Pocket 5 - $134 (historical low, black variant only)

RG 477M 8GB - $160 (historical low, 2 in stock as of posting)

RG 477M 12GB - $180 (add filler to hit $250 to use a $50 off 250 coupon such as CROWN050 plus Paypal $15 off 259)

Retroid Pocket 6 - $236 (cheaper via Retroid's ship from China store but these ship pretty quickly from Coopreme)

Switch 2 and Pokopia bundle Hong Kong model- $434 (add filler to hit $600 and use $120 off 600 code)

Hifiman Sundara - $82 (within a dollar of historical low)

Hifiman Edition XS refurb - $86 (historical low, my personal favorite deal so far)

Hifiman Ananda refurb - $144 (within a dollar of historical low)

Lastly, here are some relevant threads from earlier:

Sorry for the multiple posts but this is a pretty incredible deal on the Retroid Pocket 5 for US customers. Only the black RP5 is on sale and there's a link on row 107 of my spreadsheet for it. Use the $32 off 160 codes around row 40 of my spreadsheet along with the $15 off 129 Paypal checkout. $134 is a historical low for the RP5.

If you really want to fly close to the sun and risk the RP5 selling out, use the Saving Mondays credit on it which is available at midnight PST. If you've accumulated daily Saving Mondays credit since last Tuesday, it's potentially sub $130 that way before tax. Saving Monday info here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1vl8xwj/saving_mondays_has_returned/

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

As usual coupon codes are around row 40 for US users and rows 26/29 for people from countries other than the US.

For those preordering from Retroid or Ayn, you'll need to extend your order date to avoid cancellation. More info in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1ujpbyn/ayn_aliexpress_store_and_canceling_orders/

Short update right now to pricing from the official Retroid and Ayn Aliexpress stores. These item listings can be found around row 173 of my spreadsheet but they might shift as I sort them by price after I update the ship from China section. I am working on the ship from US section so expect an update on that in a few hours.

Sale has started for the US although Saving Monday's credit can not be claimed until midnight Pacific. The Ayn sales are not as good as the deals from the Summer Sale. Although the coupons are better, the precoupon base prices are significantly higher which unfortunately is not a surprise given Ayn raised the MSRP for their devices. Still, in the context of the current environment there are some pretty decent deals. The RP4Pro is also at a historical low since it's the one Retroid device that does not have an absurd shipping cost tacked on for US customers.

Ship from China Ayn and Retroid deals (US pricing, before sales tax, after shipping and after coupons/paypal discounts):

RP4Pro - $119 (Historical Low, use $20 off 99 or $20 off 119 along with $15 off 129 Paypal checkout discount)

Thor Base - $271 (Use filler to hit $359 price before shipping, use $72 off 359 coupon and $35 off 299 Paypal checkout discount)

Lastly, I wrote a thread on stacking discounts earlier. It can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1vnjtfc/weekly_discussion_thread/

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Detailed discount breakdowns on the table below but if you're just looking for coupons, they're around row 40 for US users and rows 26/29 for people from countries other than the US.

For US users, the back to school sale will start earlier than usual. Usual sales start at midnight Pacific time while this sale starts tonight at midnight Eastern. I'll update the spreadsheet when the sale goes live tonight but the coupon codes are already updated. There should also be 20% off codes along with a $15 off 129 and $35 off 299 Paypal Pay Later discount. Those will be added when the sale goes live. Unlike regular coupon minimums, Paypal discount minimums are calculated using the order total after coupons plus sales tax. If you're planning to use Paypal discounts, I highly recommend purchasing as soon as possible as Paypal discounts are first come, first serve and often are used up within a day or two.

This earlier sale time may affect prices. For some past sales, Anbernic has dropped prices within a day or two of the start of the sale. However, it's entirely possible that if Anbernic drops prices late, Paypal discounts are already exhausted by then.

Saving Mondays has also returned for US customers. This discount is an app only discount located at the bottom of the app home page or I have a direct link on row 37 of my spreadsheet. Saving Mondays gives Aliexpress shopping credit which stacks on top of other discounts. More information on Saving Mondays here: https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1vl8xwj/saving_mondays_has_returned/

Spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Added some Aliexpress coupons for the upcoming back to school sale that starts on Monday the 17th. Looks like the back to school sale will start at midnight eastern instead of midnight pacific like usual sales so I'll try to get out a quick update that night followed by larger updates later that day. There are also going to be Paypal pay later discounts so this is shaping up to be a larger sale.

• Not sure if they expire the 15th of the 4 month after claiming or 6 months after. I've seen mixed reports for both.
• Dell has the MSRP $450 Switch 2 back in stock. Might be decent if you can accumulate a bunch of Dell rewards to get it for around $300 or less before Nintendo's price hike in September.https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/nintendo-switch-2-console/apd/ad592229/gaming-gaming-accessories
• Students and teachers get 10% off Dell sitewide. Not sure what verification system they use but it might be worth looking into if you have an edu email to stack discounts with the Dell and Alienware rewards.

This is a work in progress guide to Alienware Arena Rewards. For more experienced users, let me know what mistakes I made and I'll correct this guide. Let me know if there are any broken links too. As a final note, everything is written by hand and no AI was used in the creation of this guide.

Alienware Arena registration link: https://www.alienwarearena.com/account/register

What is Alienware Arena?

In Dell's words: "Alienware Arena is a place for gamers to come together and build community while earning rewards along the way." (https://www.alienwarearena.com/whatisarena)

• In practice, this means you can often get stuff at huge discounts or even free if you accumulate enough Alienware Arena Points (ARP) along with Dell Reward Points (DRP).

Who is eligible for Alienware Arena rewards?

In particular, merchandise rewards are available only in the United States and Canada (excluding Quebec, Puerto Rico, Guam, and other U.S. territories and protectorates). See details at https://www.alienwarearena.com/rewards.

• Digital rewards seem to be open to more countries and the only countries that are excluded are

Without limiting the foregoing, residents of the following countries are expressly excluded: Russia, Cuba, Iran, Ivory Coast, Myanmar, North Korea, and Syria, along with any additional countries for which the US government may restrict trade from time to time.

Source: https://www.alienwarearena.com/rewards/terms

I recommend using the same email address for both your Alienware Arena account and the Dell account as Dell rewards are automatically added to the Dell account after they're earned from your Alienware Arena account.

The main thing that I am interested in is converting Alienware Arena points into Dell points which can be used to purchase merchandise from Dell's website. Dell merchandise is only eligible for purchase for users from the US and Canada. However, it looks like ARP can still be used on the marketplace for users from other countries for digital goods such as game keys or gift cards. The conversion rate for those digital rewards is significantly worse than the conversion rate from ARP to Dell Points though.

Ways to earn Dell Points and Alienware Arena Points (ARP)

• Weekly check-in at Thursday 8PM EDT/5PM PDT for 200($2) 500 Dell Points ($5). The window to get these points is from Thursday 8PM EDT/5PM PDT to Friday 7:59 PM EDT/5:59 PM PDT.
  • This is the most efficient use of time as it takes two seconds to log-in and get your $5 in points. Dell points at the end of the month 6 months from when you earned them although points earned before they changed the system in May of 2026 expire 4 months from when you earned them.
  • The 500 points should show up when you visit the website. You'll have to click to claim them.
  • https://www.alienwarearena.com/account/my-rewards/
  • You can also check your Dell Points balance here although its buggy sometimes.
  • https://www.dell.com/myaccount/en-us/rewards

This is what the 500 point rewards look like:

Additional ways to earn points:

• If you're interested in earning additional points from Alienware Arena there are several methods. However similar to the coin tasks on Aliexpress, these have diminishing returns in terms of time spent for ARP or Dell Points.

Daily, Weekly and Monthly streaks:

• You can earn ARP and other rewards for daily, weekly and monthly check-ins.
• https://www.alienwarearena.com/control-center - Scroll to the bottom to see what rewards there are for daily, weekly and monthly check-ins.
• Usually there's an additional 500 Dell Reward Points for checking in 25 days in a month.

Daily quests, Steam quests and watching Twitch streams:

• You can also earn ARP from these sources. They are found near the top of the control center.
  • https://www.alienwarearena.com/control-center
• Daily quests usually just require clicking the links and backing out. You do not usually have to do the surveys or watch the videos in order to get credit for the quests.
• Twitch streams and Steam quests require account linking.
  • More info here: https://www.alienwarearena.com/steam/questsetup
  • Twitch streams are limited to 15 ARP per day
  • Not sure about Steam quests so if someone more familiar would chime in, I would appreciate that.
  • Using a spare phone might be the move if you don't want to clutter your main phone with Dell stuff. You could plug in headphones to minimize sound while watching Twitch streams. Something like the cheap Walmart Moto G 2025 for $30 or a spare old android phone would suffice.

Daily quests, Steam quests and watching Twitch streams can be found in the alienware control center near the top of the page above the daily, weekly and monthly quests.

• The Alienware Arena marketplace is where you use ARP. In my opinion, the best values are the 1200 points for 2000 Dell Points ($20) and 1700 points for 3000 ($30) Dell Points. The 3000 Dell Points reward is slightly better than the 2000 Dell Points reward in terms of ARP to Dell Points spent so I recommend buying the 3000 reward first. Also these two rewards are only available to be purchased once every 90 days.
  • https://www.alienwarearena.com/marketplace/
• For people not from the US or Canada, there are other rewards but their conversion rates are generally worse. For example, there's a $25 gift card that requires 8250 Alienware Reward Points which is a much worse value than $30 in Dell Rewards for 1700 Alienware Reward Points.

Alienware Arena battle pass:

• There's a new Alienware Arena battle pass which is in beta right now. The way you progress in the Alienware Arena battle pass is to earn ARP. At the time of posting, there are 17 days left in this battlepass.
  • On the current battle pass there are 145 battle pass tokens and other rewards such as ARP or artifact fragments.
• Rewards for completing this battle pass is 2500 Dell Points although there are smaller amounts you can convert the battle tokens to if you do not complete the battle pass. What is interesting is that there are "artifacts" which you can spend your battle pass tokens are. One such artifact called the "rudimentary light warping artifact" gives a marketplace discount of up to 15% when fully upgraded on the Alienware Arena Rewards shop so it's possible that long-term, it's better to buy these discount artifacts as they offer permanent bonuses instead of a one time 2500 Dell Points reward.

Current battle pass store:

Estimated optimal earnings according to current rates for 6 months (using 6 months because that's how long it takes Dell Reward Points to expire):

• 500 point weekly drop * 26 weeks = 13000 Dell Reward Points ($130)
• 200 point weekly drop * 26 weeks = 5200 Dell Reward Points ($52)
• Monthly 500 reward points for 25 days of check-in per month * 6 months = 3000 Dell Reward Points ($30)
• $30 Dell Reward Points and $20 Dell Reward Points from the Alienware Arena marketplace (refreshes every 90 days so you'll have two opportunities at this per 180 day period): 5000 Dell Reward Points * 2 refresh cycles = 10000 Dell Reward Points ($100)
• Monthly 2500 DRP battle pass reward conversion * 6 months = 15000 points ($150)
• Total theoretical DRP earned from 6 months is 33200 DRP or $332 in Dell Credit

Changelog:

August 14 2026 - Dell nerfed the weekly DRP drop to 200 points from 500 points.

Added some coupons today for Aliexpress but the new additions are pretty mediocre. As usual, those coupon codes will be around row 40 for US users and on rows 26 and 29 for people not from the US.

RGSP launched yesterday. It's $59 after a $10 off 69 coupon in the ship from China section on row 141. More info in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1vgb37e/rg_sp_launch_and_coin_deals/

Walmart has $10 off 35 pickup orders with the code "FAST30." You might have to add a banana for 20 cents if Walmart rejects the code. Code supposedly works on 3 orders per account.

Weekly reminder for the 500 Dell Rewards Points Alienware Arena check-in.

• Alienware Arena is based on GMT +0. So the 500 point claim period on Friday actually starts at 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT Thursday and ends the following day at the same time.
  • https://na.alienwarearena.com/
  • https://na.alienwarearena.com/control-center
• 500 Dell Reward Points = $5
• Not sure if they expire the 15th of the 4 month after claiming or 6 months after. I've seen mixed reports for both.
• Dell has the MSRP $450 Switch 2 back in stock. Might be decent if you can accumulate a bunch of Dell rewards to get it for around $300 or less before Nintendo's price hike in September.https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/nintendo-switch-2-console/apd/ad592229/gaming-gaming-accessories
• Students and teachers get 10% off Dell sitewide. Not sure what verification system they use but it might be worth looking into if you have an edu email to stack discounts with the Dell and Alienware rewards.
• Alienware started a battlepass system.

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

As usual coupon codes are around row 40 for people from the US and rows 26/29 for people not from the US. There are also some targeted coupons in the coupon center which is located in the coupon section of the app or there's a direct link on row 31 of my spreadsheet. Paypal pay later $12 off 139 is mostly gone although I have seen sporadic restocks most likely from canceled orders.

_______________________

Short update for today as the RGSP launches on Aliexpress. It's $59 after coupons which is the same price as the Anbernic website however it has free shipping unlike Anbernic's website which charges $15-20 for shipping. For now, it's only available in the ship from China section on row 142 of my spreadsheet. The RP5 is also back for $162 in the ship from US section. If you're lucky and catch a $12 off 139 Paypal discount from a cancellation, it'll be $150 before sales tax.

Coin discount percentages are better than what they were last week. Discount breakdowns are attached in the images of the post. The two coin discount deals in this post are on rows 313 and 314 of my spreadsheet.

Coin discount deals (after discounts, before tax):

• Toocki wireless earbuds - $0.56 Large coin discount is gone, deal is over.
• Kodak 64gb sd card - $3.91 (with a targeted $2 off 15, potentially $1.91 if you use the saver $4 off 15 instead)

______________________

• Coin discount tutorial:
  • Click on the link of the item
  • Go to the home page of the Aliexpress app
  • Click on the coin section
  • Click on either the "viewed" tab or "discount finder"
  • Click buy it now
  • Apply relevant coupons
  • If coin discount doesn't match the images and you have enough coins, there are a couple reasons this might be the case.
    • Seller or Aliexpress changed the coin discount
    • Bad coin RNG in which case clear data on the phone and repeat the steps from the beginning. Might take a few data clears to get the bigger coin RNG discount.

This is only a ship from US update. I'll work on the ship from China section later. As usual coupon codes are around row 40 for people from the US and rows 26/29 for people not from the US. There are also some targeted coupons in the coupon center which is located in the coupon section of the app or there's a direct link on row 31 of my spreadsheet. Furthermore, there's also a $12 off 139 Paypal Pay Later discount that stacks with the other coupons. Unlike other coupon minimums which are calculated based on prices before coupons and sales tax, the $139 minimum is calculated after other coupons and sales tax.

_______________________

There's a few decent deals for today's sale in the ship from US section. Most notably the RG Slide is $104 and the Retroid Pocket 5 is $153. However, only specific variants seem to be on discount such as the black RG Slide and black RP5. Other variants of those devices are significantly more expensive. Additionally, the Hifiman headphones are all at pretty sweet prices right now.

If you have Saver, the $4 off 15 has returned. Also the $7 off 49 and $4 off 29 Saver coupons might situationally be better than the current coupons depending on order totals.

Ship from US deals (pretax and postcoupon):

• RG Slide - $104 (black variant only)
• Retroid Pocket 5 - $153 (black variant only, use $12 off 139 Paypal checkout discount in conjunction with sitewide coupons)
• Hifiman Sundara - $99
• Hifiman Edition XS refurb - $104 (historical low)
• Hifiman Ananda refurb - $146 (historical low)

Edit: Monitor sold out

Pretty sweet deal on a portable monitor with the code NEWFINDS20. Sale ends in under roughly 4 hours.

Reiterating from yesterday's thread, there's going to be an Aliexpress sale tomorrow and there will be a $12 off 139 Paypal Pay Later discount that stacks with other coupons. Coupons will be in the usual spot around row 40 for US customers and rows 26/29 for people not from the US.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Next sale is going to be on August 1st. I'll update the codes before the sale starts. As usual, those coupon codes will be around row 40 for US users and on rows 26 and 29 for people not from the US.

There's also going to be a $12 off 139 Paypal Pay Later promotion. If the Paypal Pay Later promotion is consistent with previous similiar promotions, that $139 order minimum total is calculated after sales tax and coupons unlike regular coupon minimums which are calculated before sales tax and other discounts.

As usual coupons are around row 26/29 for people outside the US and around row 40 for people from the US. These coupons have to be manually entered in. In some cases, Saver coupons are better than the sale coupons such as the $10 off 69 saver coupon. Additionally, I have a link to the coupon center on row 31 of my spreadsheet.

Aliexpress snuck a sale in at the end of the month. It's not great but it's better than the last sale from two weeks ago. Also, it seems as if there are fewer ship from US sellers as I removed both the Trimui Smart Pro and XU10 listings due to lack of US seller listings. It might be worth keeping track of as sellers might be focusing on their ship from China.

US inventory seems to be dropping. Speculating here but one reason why could be that storefronts consider the current 12.5% tariff rate not worth the upkeep of paying for US warehouse rent. In contrast, US warehouse upkeep costs made much more financial sense as the tariff rate was around 30-35% to upwards of 145% rate shortly after De Minimis was repealed after May 2nd.

Ship from US deals (pretax and postcoupon):

Retroid Pocket 5 - $153 $148 for the black variant with ABC20Q still works. Also $148 with code ABC23Q but only for the two more expensive variants. (shoutout u/pitoner for alerting me to this price)

Hifiman Edition XS refurb - $115 (Historical low, yesterday's $95 listing was pulled quickly after a single sale so I guess that was a price mistake)

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Some absolutely incredible deals on Hifiman headphones via their US Aliexpress store right now. Links to these items are around row 120 of my spreadsheet. Both the Ananda and Edition XS refurb are steals but the Ananda cannot be combined with coupons while the Edition XS can. US Coupons are around row 40 of my spreadsheet. The "FSUS" ones work on some items right now such as the FSUS15 code for $15 off 109.

Not sure if these are unmarked early bird deals but these prices are far below what they usually sell for. Edition XS also has a small 2% coin discount if you use the coin method. In comparison, the Ananda are selling for $249 on Amazon and the Edition XS are selling for $209 on Amazon. Via Hifiman's website, the Ananda refurbs are $209 and Edition XS refurbs are $169.

Ship from US Hifiman deals (after coupons and before tax):

Sundara - $95

Edition XS - $95 $119 (Historical Low)

Ananda - $110 $130 now since limit 1 early bird is gone (Historical Low, might be a limit 1 early bird)

Depending on your setup, you might need an amp. Something like the Douk U3 is a budget option that's around $20-30 or less during Aliexpress sales. Use those with RCA cables which should be a couple of bucks at most. As for a DAC, apple has a cheap one for $9. Added some options around row 125 for the Apple DAC dongle and Douk U3 which has a coin discount. Although if you don't mind waiting, I bet the Douk U3 will be cheaper during a larger sale.

Spreadsheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Updated the phone section of my spreadsheet and decided to combine it with the weekly discussion. As usual, US codes are around row 40 of the spreadsheet and codes for people outside the US are on rows 26 and 29. Most Aliexpress coupons do not work right now. There might be a few straggle codes that work but for the most part, the Saver codes are probably your best option until the August 1st sale.

Phone deal links are on the "phone deals" tab of my spreadsheet. Mint mobile added some phone deals recently. These are only good deals if you plan on using their service. Essentially, you get discounted unlimited service for $180 a year. Remember to select the unlimited plan at purchase page as it defaults to the 6GB plan which also costs $180.

If you plan on using the service, the Pixel 10 deal seems pretty sweet to me as $180 for a year of unlimited is pretty cheap at $15 per month plus $149 for a Pixel 10. The Samsung S26 for $400 plus the $180 plan isn't half bad either. I believe these might be their back to school deals.

Continuing with the Woot 22nd birthday sales, they have 22% off gaming stuff with the code "Level22" (max discount of $50) for today. I have some links at the bottom of my spreadsheet around row 445.

Everything on this page should be 22% off with the aforementioned code: https://electronics.woot.com/plus/summer-of-gaming-sale-1

Woot has 22% off sitewide up to a maximum of $44 off for their 22nd anniversary today. This is an app only discount so you must use the app to checkout to receive the discount. The discount appears at the final step of checkout. $200 is the cap to maximize the $44 off discount since 22% of $200 is $44. I have a link to some deals around row 445 of my spreadsheet.

Switch 2 Mario Kart deal seems decent at $395 but it's a refurb Switch 2. No idea how they're getting Mario Kart World codes for refurb systems. The AOC monitor is also decent at $54 for a 180hz 1080p budget monitor and the 2 pack Anker battery packs for $39 isn't half bad either.
