What is Singles' Day, and does it happen in the US?
Singles' Day started as a Chinese shopping holiday on November 11 and grew into the largest e-commerce sale day in the world by sales volume. In the United States it is not a storewide retail event the way Black Friday is: most American merchants ignore it, and the honest framing is that 11.11 reaches US shoppers through online merchants with Asian roots and global platforms that run the sale worldwide.
For ShopBack members in the US, that means the 11.11 opportunity concentrates in a specific set of stores: marketplaces like Temu and Shein, and Asia-based travel platforms like Trip.com, Klook, and Agoda, which often run their biggest promotions of the year around the date. Merchants outside that set generally treat November 11 as an ordinary day.
Does cashback stack with 11.11 sale prices?
Yes. Cashback is calculated on the qualifying amount you actually pay, so an 11.11 sale price earns the same percentage a full price would. The mechanics do not change for the event: activate on the merchant page at <a href="https://www.shopback.com?utm_source=discover">shopback.com</a> before each order, and only apply codes featured on ShopBack, since third-party 11.11 code roundups are exactly the kind that can void tracking.
Some participating merchants also raise their cashback rate around 11.11, the same upsized-rate pattern seen at Black Friday. The live rate on each merchant page on the day you order is the only number to trust; rates around sale events revert without notice.
How should US shoppers play Singles' Day?
Treat 11.11 as a category-specific date rather than a sitewide one. It is a strong moment for the marketplaces that run it, especially for low-priced fashion, home goods, and gadgets, and for Asia-Pacific travel bookings, where the platforms discount hotels, flights, and activities for the sale.
It is also a useful early check on holiday pricing: 11.11 lands two weeks before Black Friday, so a price you see on Singles' Day gives you a benchmark to compare against the Thanksgiving-week deals before you commit.
Singles' Day coupons and promo codes that stack with cashback
This site does not publish Singles' Day 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 Singles' Day order's cashback never tracks. The safe Singles' Day promo codes are the ones listed on each merchant's page at <a href="https://www.shopback.com?utm_source=discover">shopback.com</a>, 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 Singles' Day 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.

Singles' Day cashback FAQ
Do US stores participate in Singles' Day?
Most traditional US retailers do not run 11.11 promotions. In the US the event lives on global online platforms, such as Temu, Shein, Trip.com, Klook, and Agoda, which run the sale worldwide. Stores outside that set usually treat November 11 as a normal shopping day.
Do 11.11 sale prices earn full cashback?
Yes. Cashback is calculated on the amount you actually pay, so an 11.11 markdown earns the full live rate for that merchant. Taxes, shipping, and excluded categories still do not count, per each merchant's terms.
Is Singles' Day or Black Friday better for deals?
It depends on the store. For merchants that run 11.11, such as Temu, Shein, and the Asia-based travel platforms, Singles' Day is often their biggest sale of the year. For everyone else, Black Friday two weeks later is the deeper event. Checking the live rate at shopback.com on each date settles it per merchant.
Can I use 11.11 coupon codes with cashback?
Only codes featured on ShopBack stack safely. 11.11 code roundups on third-party sites are a common cause of voided cashback, because many merchant terms disallow unlisted codes. Activate first, then apply only a featured code.
