So I saw everyone hype up the 618 deals this year and figured, hey, maybe there’s free promo codes hiding somewhere? Gotta give it a shot myself, right? Here’s exactly how my scavenger hunt went down.
The Setup Phase
First thing I did was dig around a bit. Remembered seeing Kuaishou throw out “2580 yuan coupons” in their live streams, and JD was screaming about “over 1000 yuan per person per day” like it was raining cash. Figured both apps were worth camping in.
Armed with my phone and a strong cup of coffee (this requires serious focus!), I got organized:
- Downloaded both apps – Kuaishou for the live sales craziness, JD for the mega discounts.
- Marked key timings on my calendar – Tons of refs mentioned coupons drop at 8am, 12pm, 8pm, even midnight. Set alarms like my life depended on it.
- Grabbed the “secret codes” everyone whispered about – Like punching “福利666” into JD search bar and “抢金豆” into Kuaishou. Felt like cracking a vault combo.
Kuaishou Round – It’s Chaotic!
Hopped into Kuaishou first thing at 8am. Searched “抢金豆” like the refs suggested, landed in this flashy Gold Rush page. Spammed the refresh button near 8am sharp – boom! A “666元 gold beans” deal popped up. Clicked like mad… but poof! Gone in seconds. Page just froze. Felt like getting robbed.
Later at 8pm, tried again for the “红包雨” (red packet rain). Joined three random livestreams shouting “茅台! 1499元!” – literally the cheapest you’ll ever see that booze. My screen got drowned in flying red packets. Tapped frantically, managed to snag one… 18.8 yuan off. Better than zero, I guess? Saw one dude in chat brag about getting “100元”. Lucky dog.
Switching to JD – Precision Tactic Mode
Swung over to JD, feeling beat. Searched “联想 618” like one ref hinted, found a hidden section called “Student & National Subsidy”. Filled in my details and scored a random “国家补贴券” (national discount coupon) + “300 off” for a Lenovo laptop. Jackpot!
Then did the daily ritual: Searched “福利666” every morning like clockwork. First day, landed a puny 2 yuan. Almost gave up… but kept at it. Day three? Struck gold with a 50 yuan coupon! Stacked it with a “满200减20” PLUS coupon (those refs weren’t lying about combo coupons). Suddenly my cart looked 25% cheaper. Also spotted that damn “白条分期免息” offer – used it on some pricey headphones, split into 6 chunks. Zero interest. Felt almost criminal.
Reflections & Reality Checks
So did I magically find piles of free promo codes? Nah. The real “freebies” were more like these:
- Platform-Specific Search Words: Stuff like “幸运红包688” or “联想福利集结” actually worked (eventually). Patience is key.
- Layered Coupon Abuse: National subsidies + hidden store coupons + timed red packets. Stack ‘em high!
- Ruthless Timing: Miss your coupon drop window? Too bad. Set those alarms or sleep through savings.
Overall? Landed around 650 yuan in combined discounts – and saved probably another 1500 slashing electronics prices by stacking offers. Hard work? You betcha. Worth bragging over beers? Absolutely. Next time, I’m hunting JD’s secret “薅羊毛” forums first… if they exist.
