How to earn cashback during the 12.12 sale on December 12: the Singles' Day encore reaches US shoppers through global merchants like Temu, Shein, and Asia-based travel platforms. By Jia, Editor-in-Chief (https://discover.shopback.com/authors/jia). Published: 2026-08-13. Last updated: 2026-08-13. The 12.12 sale on December 12 is the December encore of 11.11, run by the same set of global online merchants, such as Temu, Shein, Trip.com, Klook, and Agoda. Cashback stacks with 12.12 pricing the usual way: click through from ShopBack before each order and the sale price earns the live rate. When: 12.12 is December 12 every year; in 2026 it falls on a Saturday, landing in the middle of the US holiday gifting rush. ## What is the 12.12 sale, and does it matter in the US? 12.12, sometimes called Double Twelve, began as the December follow-up to Singles' Day on Asian e-commerce platforms. Like 11.11, it is not a storewide event at traditional US retailers: in the United States it lives on global marketplaces and Asia-based travel platforms that run the sale worldwide, and the honest framing is that 12.12 is a merchant-specific date, not a national one. The practical difference from 11.11 is timing. December 12 sits squarely inside the US holiday shopping rush, so 12.12 promotions at merchants like Temu and Shein overlap with last-call gifting deadlines, which makes the date more useful to US shoppers than its lower profile suggests. ## Does cashback stack with 12.12 deals? Yes. Cashback is calculated on the qualifying amount you actually pay, so a 12.12 sale price earns the full live percentage. The routine is unchanged: activate on the merchant page at shopback.com before each order, and skip any coupon code that is not featured on ShopBack, since unlisted codes can void tracking under many merchant terms. Participating merchants sometimes pair 12.12 with upsized cashback rates, and December rates move often as holiday promotions rotate. The rate in force on the day you order is the one that applies, not the number that ran during 11.11 or Black Friday. ## How does 12.12 fit into December shopping? By December 12 the Black Friday and Cyber Monday windows are long closed, and 12.12 is one of the last structured sale moments before shipping cutoffs. For gifts from the participating marketplaces, it is a natural moment to place final orders while standard delivery still lands before the holidays. For travel, the Asia-based platforms use 12.12 to promote bookings for the year ahead, so the date suits shoppers planning next year's trips: the stay or activity can be months away while the discounted booking, and its cashback, happen now. ## 12.12 coupons and promo codes that stack with cashback This site does not publish 12.12 coupon lists, because sale-event codes expire faster than any others and the wrong code costs more than it saves: promo codes that are not featured on ShopBack are the most common reason a 12.12 order's cashback never tracks. The safe 12.12 promo codes are the ones listed on each merchant's page at shopback.com, featured precisely because they keep tracking intact. The stacking order does not change for a sale event: click through from ShopBack first, apply a ShopBack-featured code at checkout, and the discounted subtotal still earns cashback on top of the 12.12 deals. Third-party coupon pop-ups and browser extensions multiply during big sale windows, and those are exactly the codes that can void cashback under many merchants' terms, so skip any code that is not featured on ShopBack or published by the merchant itself. ## Stores to shop for 12.12 These are the merchants whose sale calendars matter most for 12.12.

A: They are siblings, not the same event. 11.11 on November 11 is the original and larger sale; 12.12 on December 12 is the December encore run by largely the same global merchants, such as Temu, Shein, and the Asia-based travel platforms. In the US, both are merchant-specific dates rather than storewide retail events. Q: Do 12.12 sale prices earn full cashback? A: Yes. Cashback is calculated on the amount you actually pay, so 12.12 markdowns earn the merchant's full live rate. Taxes, shipping, and excluded categories still do not count, per each merchant's terms. Q: Will 12.12 orders arrive before the holidays? A: Often, but check each merchant's shipping cutoff rather than assuming. Marketplaces that ship from overseas, such as Temu and Shein, post longer delivery windows in December, so standard shipping ordered on December 12 can be tight for December 25. Q: Can I use 12.12 coupon codes with cashback? A: Only codes featured on ShopBack stack safely with cashback. Third-party 12.12 code lists are a common cause of voided tracking, because many merchant terms disallow unlisted codes. Activate first, then apply only a featured code.
