Welcome to the Midweek Cashback Deals Update for October 28, 2026, brought to you by CashbackIndex. It’s a busy Wednesday with several fresh flash deals, a few promotions expiring today, and a major Amazon hair care flash sale kicking off tomorrow. Best Buy has a 42% off flash deal ending in hours, Amazon has bone conduction headphones at 70% off, and Walmart’s Shark/Ninja and toy promotions close tonight. Here’s everything you need to know.
Amazon: Flash Deals Up to 70% Off + Bone Conduction Headphones $30 (70% Off)
New flash deal alert: Amazon’s Flash Deals section is currently running up to 70% off on best-selling favorites across categories, with deals rotating throughout the day. A standout new arrival is the Bone Conduction Headphones at just $30 (down from $99.99, that’s 70% off) – an excellent value for open-ear audio during workouts. Also new: the Waterproof Shower Lamp at $13.45 (down from $26.90, 50% off), and a 42-count household item at $5.07 when combining Subscribe & Save with a clippable coupon. Looking ahead, Amazon’s Holiday Beauty Event enters its finale: the next 48-hour flash window is tomorrow, October 29–30: up to 40% off hair care, followed by October 31 – November 1: up to 40% off personal care. The event itself ends Sunday, November 1, with up to 30% off across beauty categories. Prime members enjoy fast free two-day shipping. Always start at CashbackIndex before shopping Amazon to capture available cashback rebates on every eligible purchase. Set a reminder for tomorrow’s hair care flash if that’s a category you shop.
Best Buy: 42% Off Flash Deal Ends in ~6 Hours + Techtober Sale Sunday
Urgent: Best Buy has a 42% off top deal that expires in approximately 6 hours – this is a rotating flash sale that won’t be back at this price. Beyond that, the broader Techtober Sale continues and ends this Sunday, November 1, with 10–15% off featured tech including the HP 15.6″ Full HD Touchscreen Laptop (AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB, 512GB SSD). My Best Buy Plus and Total member perks are also wrapping up: the NFL Sunday Ticket offer (up to $246 off) ends today, and select Therabody recovery devices remain from $219.99. Best Buy’s 2% cashback sitewide is guaranteed through January 1, 2027. Note that many deals exclude Apple products, gift cards, and digital downloads, and some discounts apply only to members or require minimum purchase thresholds. The open-box and certified refurbished sections offer additional savings right now. My Best Buy members get free shipping on all orders (free to join), and many items are available for same-day in-store pickup. The 42% off flash deal is the most time-sensitive offer on the board today – check it out immediately.
Walmart: Shark/Ninja 44% Off & Toys 79% Off – BOTH EXPIRE TODAY! Plus Pet Supply 80% Off
Final hours: Two major Walmart promotions expire tonight, October 28: up to 44% off Shark and Ninja products (vacuums, air fryers, kitchen appliances) and up to 79% off toys – the best toy discount window we’ve seen this season for early holiday gifting. Also new this week: October Pet Supply Deals with up to 80% off over 1,000 items including toys, furniture, food, and snacks for pets. A new electronics highlight is the Android 14 Tablet at $59.99 (down from $99.99, 40% off) with a store coupon. Ongoing rollbacks include the Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones at $149 (was $299) and the Frigidaire 7.5 Cu. Ft. Refrigerator at $218 (was $479.99), plus Gateway laptops from $190.75. Walmart’s cashback stays at 1%, so the value comes from direct price cuts and promo codes rather than rebates. Walmart+ members enjoy free shipping with no minimum; free shipping kicks in at $35 for everyone else. If you’ve been waiting for Shark/Ninja deals or toy prices, today is your last chance before these prices reset.
Target: Halloween Final 3 Days – Up to 50% Off Costumes, Candy BOGO 50% Off
With Halloween on Saturday, October 31, Target’s final Halloween push is in its last three days: up to 50% off costumes, decorations, and accessories, up to 30% off women’s Halloween jewelry and hair accessories, and a buy-one-get-one 50% off deal on select Favorite Day and Good & Gather Halloween snacks and candy. The deepest discounts are expected in the final 48 hours as Target clears remaining inventory, but popular sizes and styles are selling out fast. Beyond Halloween, Target features up to 30% off headphones and speakers and up to 70% off rugs in its home refresh section. Free shipping is available on orders of $35 or more, or choose free in-store or drive-up pickup. Target’s steady 2% cashback sitewide continues through November 1, and the popular 25% off select items promotion remains valid through January 1, 2027. Target Circle Card holders save an automatic 5% on every purchase, and Circle members earn an additional 1% back in rewards. For last-minute Halloween shopping, Target’s same-day pickup and drive-up options make it the most convenient choice.
Macy’s & eBay: Early Black Friday Deals Continue + Daily Flash Sales
Macy’s early Black Friday event continues with discounts up to 75% off storewide and online, as new doorbusters rotate weekly. Standout deals include the Created for Macy’s 6-Piece Royal Reset Skin Care Set at $12 (60% off, down from $64.50) and the Leslie 8-Piece Comforter Set at $32.99 (67% off).

eBay continues to feature daily flash deals, including a 50% off item priced at $249 (down from $499) that appeared in today’s deal roundups. Certified refurbished electronics remain one of the best value plays for budget shoppers, and auction-style listings can yield unexpected bargains. Many items ship for free, and CashbackIndex users earn rebates on all eligible eBay purchases. eBay’s buyer protection program makes it a safe and convenient option. As we move toward Black Friday (November 28), expect additional themed promotions and early preview events.
