These are the fixed calendar dates for the main shopping events from Diwali 2026 to Valentine's Day 2027. Individual stores announce their own sale dates, which often start days before the event, so check the store page on Mintback for the live offers and their end dates.

| Dhanteras | Traditional day for buying gold, silver and utensils. | |
| Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) | Peak of the festive shopping season. | |
| Singles' Day (11.11) | Some online stores run one-day sales on this date. | |
| Black Friday | International brands, software and travel sites often run deals. | |
| Cyber Monday | Online-only deals, often extending Black Friday offers. | |

Diwali and Dhanteras dates follow the 2026 New Delhi panchang; regional calendars can differ by a day.
How to prepare for a sale
- Shortlist products and note today's prices so you can tell whether a sale price is a real drop.
- Check each store's offer conditions on Mintback before the sale: excluded categories and coupon rules often change for big sales.
- Activate the tracked link right before you pay, not hours earlier, and finish the order in the same session.
- Keep the order confirmation until the cashback is confirmed; returns during the store's return window reverse it.
