Welcome to the Weekly Cashback Deals Roundup for October 12–18, 2026, from CashbackIndex.

Macy’s has officially launched its early Black Friday sale with new deals dropping every Friday, Amazon’s daily deals continue to refresh at 3 a.m. ET, and post-event clearance is in full swing across multiple retailers.

Macy’s: Early Black Friday Sale Is Live – New Deals Every Friday + 4% Cashback
Big news: Macy’s has officially launched its early Black Friday sale. Although Black Friday is November 28 this year, Macy’s has already started its iconic sale, with new deals dropping every Friday. The retailer is calling these “our best deals of the season.” Current standout deals include the Michael Kors Men’s Hooded Bib Snorkel Parka Coat at just $158 (60% off, down from $395). Macy’s is offering 30% off sale items plus 4% cashback at top portals, and a 25% off code is available. Two promotions end today, October 12: the Men’s Wardrobe Event (30–60% off) and the Underwear & Lingerie Sale (30–50% off) – so act fast if these categories interest you. For in-store Black Friday shopping on November 28–29, Macy’s is offering a free reusable tote bag with any $100+ in-store purchase (limit one per customer, while supplies last). AAA members can also get up to 1.9% cash back through the AAA Discounts portal. Start every Macy’s order through CashbackIndex to lock in the highest available cashback rate.
Amazon: Post-Prime Big Deal Days – Daily Deals Refresh at 3 a.m. ET, Up to 60% Off
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days may have ended on October 7, but the deals keep coming. Amazon’s daily deals refresh at 3 a.m. ET every day, with current offers including up to 50% off top deals on the Amazon storefront and up to 60% off October top daily deals. A $10 off code is available, and many items offer 30%+ discounts using clippable coupons. Standout current deals include the Lighted Human & Dog Skeleton Set at $35.99 (down from $49.99 – perfect for Halloween), a Portable Car Tire Inflator at just $17.09 (down from $49.99), and a Women’s Handbag Set at $16.99 (down from $39.99).

As the holiday shopping season ramps up, expect Amazon to roll out new deals and promotions leading up to Black Friday. Always start at CashbackIndex before shopping Amazon to capture available cashback rebates.
Walmart: Post-Deals & More – Regular Deals Continue, 50% Off Code + $50 Off First Grocery Order
Walmart’s Deals & More event ended yesterday (October 11), but regular deals and rollbacks continue. Current promotions include a 50% off code, 15% off select items, and $50 off your first grocery or fresh order (verified). The WOWFRESH sale is also active. Walmart’s cashback remains at 1%, so the value comes from direct price cuts and promo codes rather than rebates. Walmart+ members enjoy free shipping with no minimum, while free shipping kicks in at $35 for everyone else. Post-event, Walmart is likely to feature clearance on items that were popular during Deals & More – check the Rollback section for lingering discounts on electronics, home goods, and fashion. Walmart’s holiday layaway and early Black Friday promotions are expected to launch in the coming weeks. Walmart+ Travel continues to offer up to 5% Walmart Cash on hotel bookings, vacation packages, and car rentals.
Target: Post-Circle Deal Days – 25% Off Select Continues + 2% Cashback
Target’s Circle Deal Days ended on October 7, but regular promotions continue strong. Target’s popular 25% off select items promotion remains valid through January 1, 2027, and a separate 25% off deal runs through October 16. Target Circle Deals continue to offer up to $20 off select items, and Target’s steady 2% cashback sitewide continues through November 1. Target Circle Card holders save an automatic 5% on every purchase, and Circle members earn an additional 1% back in rewards. The price match guarantee remains in effect. As we approach mid-October, Target is fully stocked with Halloween costumes, decorations, candy, and party supplies – many at clearance prices as we get closer to October 31. Target is expected to launch early Black Friday promotions in the coming weeks, with Circle members getting early access. Same-day delivery and pickup options make it convenient for all shopping needs.
Best Buy: 2% Cashback Through 2027 + 30% Off Member Deals Continue
Best Buy’s 2% cashback sitewide offer continues through January 1, 2027, making it a reliable option for tech purchases. The 30% off code and 30% off or more on member deals continue, with 36+ verified offers active. The Samsung Odyssey G51F 32″ 1440p HDR 180Hz Gaming Monitor at $200 (was $330) may still be available – check for post-event pricing. The dash cam sale continues with discounts of up to 60% off. As we move past the big sales week, Best Buy is featuring post-event clearance on TVs, laptops, and smart home devices that were popular during the counter-promotions. The open-box and certified refurbished sections offer additional savings. All major appliances ship for free, and many items are available for same-day in-store pickup. My Best Buy members get free shipping on all orders (it’s free to join). With Black Friday approaching, Best Buy is likely to launch price guarantees and early access deals for members in the coming weeks.
eBay: Post-Columbus Day Flash Deals + Certified Refurbished Value
eBay continues to feature flash deals in the wake of the Columbus Day weekend and major retail events, with deep discounts across electronics, fashion, home goods, and tools. Certified refurbished electronics remain one of the best value plays for budget shoppers, and auction-style listings can yield unexpected bargains – especially on items that sold out at Amazon, Target, or Walmart during the big sales events. Many items ship for free, and CashbackIndex users earn rebates on all eligible eBay purchases. eBay’s buyer protection program and free shipping on many items make it a safe and convenient option. As we approach the holiday shopping season, eBay may feature additional themed deals and promotions, including early Black Friday preview events. Check the daily deals section for rotating discounts, and look for seller-sponsored coupons on high-demand items.
