15 Ways to Save More When Shopping On Newegg

Newegg is best known for selling electronics and components. It’s a great place for buying a new computer, or buying the parts necessary to build your own. But it also sells apparel, accessories, automotive equipment, fishing equipment, cookware and much, much more.

Use these tips to save the most on Newegg’s vast selection.

1. Find Newegg promo codes

Promo codes give you an instant discount on your purchase, whether it’s a percentage off the final cost or a set amount of dollars off. Sometimes, discount codes will be eligible only for specific products. But other times, they might be good for sitewide discounts.

You can find the latest Newegg promo codes here. Or find them advertised on Newegg’s site. You’ll see them advertised next to eligible products as you browse. For example:

How do I enter a promo code on Newegg?

When you are viewing your shopping cart, scroll down to the “Apply Promo Codes” box. Newegg requires an additional step, namely, entering your email address. You’ll need to provide your email address in the indicated box before you’ll be able to enter your promo code. This helps Newegg ensure promo codes are being used only once per shopper.

2. Get Newegg Premier

If you frequently shop on Newegg, joining Premier can save you money. It offers several key benefits that reduce the costs associated with shipping and returning, plus offers additional savings opportunities, including:

• Free 3-day-or-sooner shipping on eligible items
• Free return shipping
• Waived restocking fees for returns
• Exclusive deals for Premier members
• Early alerts. Find out about deals before the general public.

How much does Newegg Premier cost?

Newegg Premier costs $49.99 per year. Or, sign up for six months for $29.99 or three months for $19.99.

3. Get a student discount on Newegg Premier

Students can get Newegg Premier for $29.99 per year (that’s $20 off the usual cost). You’ll need to first create a Newegg account and then verify your student email address here.

Does Newegg have a student discount on products?

Newegg does not have a standing student discount. However, if it is offering any special pricing or deals for students, you’ll find them here.

4. Get the Newegg military discount

Plenty of retailers offer discounts and perks to members of the military, as a thank-you for their service. And Newegg is one of them.

Does Newegg have a military discount?

Yes. Newegg offers a full year of Newegg Premier for free for military members. Plus, orders delivered to APO addresses receive a discounted shipping rate (50% off normal shipping costs). To take advantage of these promos, verify your military status here, and you’ll receive a promo code.

5. Get free shipping

Avoiding shipping charges is the name of the game in online shopping — Because it’s disappointing when you find a great price only to have to add an extra $5 or more to ship the item. A popular work-around to avoid shipping charges is buying online and picking up at the store. But Newegg is an online retailer and has no physical stores.

Does Newegg have free shipping?

While newegg doesn’t have a constant free-shipping offer, or free-shipping minimum, many items on its site ship for free. As you’re browsing, you’ll see which prices include free shipping and which will cost extra to ship.

These deals are examples and may no longer be valid.

6. Use price matching to get the lowest price

Plenty of retailers offer price-matching and price-adjustment policies. They know that customers will be shopping around for the best deals, and, if a competitor is offering a better price, they’d like to keep that business for themselves by matching the deal.

So, if you’d rather buy from Newegg, but you’ve found a better price elsewhere, you may be able to get Newegg to match that price.

Does Newegg price match?

Yes. Newegg has a price-matching policy. It will match the advertised online price of identical items offered by Amazon, BestBuy.com, CDW.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, Frys.com, Gamestop.com, Kmart.com, Officedepot.com, Officemax.com, Sears.com, Staples.com, Target.com and Walmart.com. Newegg will also match its own prices if the price of something you bought falls within 14 days of purchase. The price difference will be refunded to you in the form of a Newegg Customer Care card (good for 90 days from date of issue).

Items must be in stock and must not be advertised as part of a Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Green Monday or Fantastech sale. There’s other fine print to be aware of, so read Newegg’s full price-matching policy here.

When you find a better price, you’ll need to submit a claim form within 14 days after your purchase.

7. Shop Shell Shocker deals

Every day, Newegg releases several of what it calls “Shell Shocker” deals: super-discounted items available for a limited time at up to 60% off. These deals often come with limits on the number of items you can buy at once and may have a promo code attached. You can find current Shell Shocker offers here. These run the gamut from televisions, to computers, to components.

8. Shop daily deals

Daily deals are more numerous than Shell Shocker deals but are also available for only a limited time. They include big-ticket items, such as computers and small-ticket items, such as flash drives. Browse the current day’s selection, and get up to 50% off.

9. Shop Marketplace Spotlight deals

Newegg allows third parties to sell items on its site. This marketplace includes new and refurbished items, including smart thermostats, smartwatches, gaming chairs and more. Go here to shop the best Marketplace deals.

These deals are examples and may no longer be valid.

10. Browse the Newegg outlet

Save big by shopping the Newegg outlet center. This section features certified refurbished and open-box items. This is perhaps the best way to get the most dramatic discounts while shopping at Newegg.

If you’re concerned about buying refurbished items, know that Newegg’s certified refurbished items come with 90-day to 1-year warranties (depending on the product) and have been tested and inspected to ensure that they’re working. The standard Newegg return policy also applies to these items.

Open-box products, meanwhile, have been purchased and delivered to other customers but then returned (unused). Newegg tests these products for basic functionality.

11. Sign up for emails

Get exclusive promo codes and sales announcements delivered directly to your inbox by signing up for the Newegg email list. This is an effective way to get discounts because there are certain deals and promo codes that Newegg makes available only to subscribers. See details.

12. Get the Newegg mobile app

Newegg’s mobile app gives access to exclusive deals available only to mobile shoppers. Plus, enable push notifications to get real-time notifications of special deals and price alerts.

You can also use the app to scan physical products at stores and see the Newegg price.

13. Look for sales

Newegg sometimes runs category sales, seasonal sales and clearance/overstock events. You’ll find these advertised on the homepage, so be sure to navigate there before you start shopping. For a quick look at current sales, head to the Deals & Services drop down at the top of the home page to see which sales are currently live.

14. Sign up for an ink and toner subscription

If you find yourself frequently running out of ink or toner for your home or home-based business, the Ink & Toner Subscription Program lets you set it and forget it — while saving money. Sign up for automatic deliveries at your desired frequency (every month to every five months), and you’ll save 5% off the price and get free shipping on every order. See details.

15. Shop during Black Friday and Cyber Monday

Newegg’s primary business is electronics, meaning it sells some of the most popular doorbuster items that shoppers want on Black Friday/Cyber Monday (4k TVs, laptops, desktops, tablets, phones). You can therefore rely on Newegg to offer some of the best prices all year during its Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Check out its most recent Black Friday ad and most recent Cyber Monday deals to get an idea of what to expect.
