Happy Wednesday, deal hunters! Welcome back to the Midweek Cashback Deals Update for November 4, 2026, brought to you by CashbackIndex. We’re now firmly in early Black Friday season, and the biggest midweek flash sale of the week drops tomorrow: Target’s 3-day Early Black Friday event kicks off November 5 and runs through November 7. Best Buy’s DoorBOOsters continue with discounts up to 63% off, Macy’s just dropped a new 30% off code stacked with 5% cash back, Walmart’s Black Friday event countdown is on for November 12, and Amazon’s rotating flash deals keep refreshing.

Target: Early Black Friday 3-Day Event Starts Tomorrow (Nov 5–7) — Biggest Flash Sale of the Week
The headline midweek news is Target’s Early Black Friday Sale, running November 5 through November 7 for three days only. This is Target’s official head start on holiday shopping, with deep discounts across tech, electronics, home, toys, apparel, and beauty. Target’s Deals of the Day (launched November 1) continue throughout the event, and the retailer is offering a first-ever one-day preview of the next day’s deals, so you can scout doorbusters tonight and be ready when they go live. This is effectively the week’s biggest flash sale for a general-merchandise retailer, and quantities on doorbusters will be limited. Circle Card holders save an automatic 5% on every purchase, plus earn 1% Circle rewards. Target’s 25% off select items promotion runs through January 1, 2027. Free shipping on orders over $35, or free drive-up and in-store pickup. Start every Target order through CashbackIndex to lock in available cashback rebates. Set your alarm for tomorrow morning — doorbusters typically go live around midnight PT / 3 a.m. ET.
Best Buy: DoorBOOsters Live Now — Up to 63% Off, Lenovo Chromebook $189 All-Time Low
Best Buy’s early Black Friday DoorBOOsters are in full swing this week, with total discounts reaching up to 63% off on select items. The two anchor doorbusters from Monday are still available while supplies last: the Lenovo 2K touchscreen Chromebook at $189 (54% off, all-time low, limited quantities, no rainchecks), and the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.3″ Intel Core 5 laptop at $429.99 (save $300). Best Buy’s refurbished outlet also offers factory-certified repairs at additional discounts, with free shipping on most items. The retailer’s official Black Friday sale runs all Thanksgiving week (starting November 27), with Friday 5–8 a.m. in-store doorbusters on TVs, consoles, and premium laptops. My Best Buy Plus and Total members get extended return windows and free shipping. Best Buy’s guaranteed 2% cashback through January 1, 2027 stacks on top of doorbuster pricing. Refurbished Samsung items are running at least 50% off, per DealNews tracking. If you missed the Lenovo Chromebook on Monday, check early — restocks are rare for no-raincheck doorbusters.

eBay: Fashion Category 2% Cash Back; Daily Flash Deals Continue
eBay’s cashback rate sits at around 2% on fashion category purchases this week, with daily flash deals rotating across electronics, tools, home, and collectibles.
