Back in the day when dangdang.com first started, dangdang coupons were flying all over the internet. Now that dangdang has grown bigger, I searched and searched on Baidu, but couldn't find a single coupon for dangdang.com. All I see are advertisements, and those cashback websites are just scams. In the end, I remembered Taobao. Why not just buy a coupon?
A quick search on Taobao revealed plenty of coupons for sale. Some 10-yuan coupons are only 0.4 yuan. We don't have to go to some trashy forums waiting for people to post them. Just buy one directly.
Coupons for dangdang.com sold on Taobao generally fall into two categories:
The first type: These are dangdang.com coupons that can be used directly at checkout. However, note that some coupons need to be bound to an account before they can be used. Also, make sure to ask the seller about the validity period of the coupon. If you buy an expired coupon, you'll be in trouble.
The second type: These are dangdang gift cards. Each card has a face value of 10 yuan and corresponds to two scratch-off account areas (each account area is worth 5 yuan in cash discounts).
No order restrictions, no price limits on goods (but each order can only use one account, meaning a saving of 5 yuan);
No account restrictions (not a bound-account card, very easy to use);
Can directly deduct from book purchases; usable without restriction during dangdang's "Book Festival Free Shipping" event.
I personally recommend buying the second type of gift card.
Few of the dangdang.com coupons found online are genuine, so don't waste your time. For just a few jiao, you can buy a 10-yuan dangdang coupon. Friends who don't know how to use coupons can check here.
