One of the reasons why AliExpress has increased its recognition is because it saves its buyers a lot of money with the low prices it offers. In addition, they are always innovating and looking for different ways to make you spend less.
One of the ways to save is to use select coupons offered by the platform. This is a new form of discount, and in this article, we’ll explain how they work and how to make the most of them.
Types of AliExpress coupons
To get a good understanding of all the discounts that AliExpress has for their buyers and how they differ from select coupons, we’ll talk about what they consist of:
▷ AliExpress coupons: they’re coupons that AliExpress gives to new buyers through games, and that can be exchanged for coins. To use them you must reach a minimum amount on your order, otherwise, the coupon won’t be applied.
▷ Welcome coupons: The welcome coupon is one that AliExpress gives their new users after they register on the site.
▷ Seller coupons: Many stores and sellers offer discounts for those who want to buy something from their stock. These give you a discount of a certain amount, depending on what the cost of the item is.
▷ Select coupons: These bonuses work in stores that have them available and can be combined with the previous three. They have a minimum amount.
You can choose to add the select coupons, seller coupons, and AliExpress coupons, to achieve better discounts.
Remember that you can see all the coupons in your account in the “Coupons” section. Click here to go directly.
What are AliExpress coupons, and how do they work?
As we’ve mentioned, these cumulative coupons are a kind of bonus offered by the Chinese shopping site. There are different types. You have to know that if you get coupons from a specific store (after exchanging currencies) and you decide not to use them, you can spend them later with any other seller that does accept them.

How do I get select coupons?
The easiest way to get select coupons is to go to the image of any product that accepts them and click on “Get”. The select coupons are always worth $2, and you can get as many as you want by redeeming 20 coins for each select coupon.
For some time now, it’s even easier to get them because AliExpress has created sales promotions like the 11.11 sale, or the coupon rounds, where you’ll get as many as you want.
How to apply the select coupons to my purchase?
To do so, you’ll have to go through each widget of those products you’re interested in until you find those that have the select coupon symbol on the page of the item you are going to buy. Once there, you’ll have to redeem your coins for select coupons. You’ll click on the button that says “Select coupon” to review the conditions for using it.
Once you add the coupon to your wallet, you’ll proceed to add the product to the cart. Fill in the “Shipping Address” and “Payment Method” boxes on the checkout form. Then, you’ll have to click on the button that says “Request AliExpress select coupon” and voilà: the discount will be applied automatically and this will be reflected in the total amount box.
Find sellers that accept select coupons
Now AliExpress has incorporated the option to filter your search so that you’ll only find in the results those stores or sellers that do accept select coupons.
The conditions for using the discount granted will depend on the redemption terms dictated by the coupon. To find out, you’ll have to enter each product to see what is the minimum amount to be able to apply it.
Combining several coupons, how to do it?
Previously, we mentioned that you can save a little more if you add some of your coupons (seller coupons, AliExpress coupons, and select coupons). If you don’t know how to do it, we’ll talk you through an example:
Let’s assume that you’re going to buy a suitcase, and it only costs 84.77 euros with the AliExpress discounts. If at the time of purchase we apply the store discount of 2.71 euros, and then the AliExpress select coupon of 4 euros, you would have to spend in total 78.06 euros.
Remember that to effectively fulfill the discounts, the coupons have to be applied in the following order: first seller coupons, then select coupons are discounted, and finally AliExpress coupons.
How to get more coupons and discounts on AliExpress?
Now, we’ll describe many of the ways in which you can get coupons to add up a lot of discounts in the most practical and easy way. As we’ve mentioned previously, AliExpress constantly devises novel ways to make its users save as much money as possible. Some of these fantastic mechanisms are:
AliExpress welcome coupon for new users
You haven’t registered on the site? No worries! Before you register and make your first purchase, we recommend that you know exactly what item you’re going to buy on the Chinese shopping platform, as it offers many attractive bonuses and welcome coupons for new users.
Invite your friends and earn coins
Inviting your family, friends, or acquaintances to register and shop on the app is a good way to earn coupons. For this, you’ll be rewarded with a certain amount of coins, which you can redeem for coupons.
Freebies and coins to save money
The AliExpress mobile app runs excellently on iOS and Android systems. This has many advantages, as this version of the site is much more interactive and allows you to shop from anywhere and consult more details in a more practical way, thanks to the new design of the portal.
In addition, it has a section where you can find games, that allow you to earn coins to redeem for coupons or get freebies (free products in exchange for a review of the product once it gets to you).
AliExpress Member Program
The Chinese shopping portal rewards the loyalty and preference of its users. That’s why every purchase you make on AliExpress has prizes.
Likewise, if you interact daily with the page, leave comments, and make product ratings, among other activities, you can earn points.
Depending on the score you get, the system classifies you into different buyer levels. Each status has certain amenities and privileges that the others do not.
Some benefits you’ll get by joining these programs are birthday discounts, coupons, discounts on exclusive events, faster discounts… Most importantly, the new VIP membership program allows you to speed up your shopping and get coupons every month.
Pay attention to shopping festivals such as Black Friday and 11.11
AliExpress doesn’t miss the opportunity to launch different promotions that offer special prices, such as holiday seasons and other special dates. Undoubtedly, our recommendation is that you keep an eye out at times like Black Friday and AliExpress’ 11.11 Shopping Festival, so you don’t miss the discounts.
