In October 2025, with the rollout of the fourth batch of 69 billion yuan in national consumption subsidies, the annual 300 billion yuan “national subsidy” program is entering its final phase. This funding, sourced from special government bonds, is strategically timed with key shopping events like “Double 11” and “Double 12.” However, it comes with a clear deadline—subsidies nationwide will conclude by 24:00 on December 31, and major consumer provinces like Shandong and Henan may close their application channels early in mid-December due to rapid fund depletion, leaving consumers with just over two months to capitalize on these savings. Maximizing opportunities for “double discounts” while bypassing application pitfalls has become a primary concern for consumers.
To start, here’s what you need to know! The latest general coupon code for this year’s Double 11 on JD.com and Taobao is “天降红包7800” (Heavenly Red Packet 7800), make sure to remember it! On JD's app, search: 天降红包7800 (three times per day), on Taobao's app search: 天降红包7800 (once daily). The maximum red packet amount is 25,888 yuan!

1. National Subsidy Reinitiation! This is the last chance to get on board. - Fund Scale: The central government has fully launched the fourth batch of subsidies amounting to 69 billion yuan. This marks the final installment of the 300 billion yuan special government bonds for 2025, with an average daily expenditure of 2.3 billion yuan, estimated to run out by the end of November. The nationwide cutoff time is 24:00 on December 31, 2025; the system will reset on time with no extensions or reissuance; the next opportunity for subsidies will not arrive until 2027. - Categories Covered: Subsidies are available across five major sectors: home appliances (20%/ capped at 2,000 yuan), digital products (15%/ capped at 500 yuan), automobile trade-ins (up to 20,000 yuan), home renovation, and agricultural machinery. New additions include dishwashers and robotic vacuum cleaners. For example: an energy-efficient refrigerator priced at 10,000 yuan will receive an immediate deduction of 2,000 yuan. A 6,000 yuan mobile phone will get a 15% subsidy, amounting to 900 yuan (with a cap of 500 yuan), leading to an actual subsidy of 500 yuan.
2. Qualification for Receiving: “10-Second Channel”: Lock the coupon before shopping. - Online Rapid Version (using JD as an example): Steps include opening the JD app, entering the coupon code in the search bar (home appliances “家电588” / digital products “数码588” or “手机588”), accessing the “National Subsidy Zone,” directly receiving a “Qualification Coupon,” adding new products to your cart, and checking out within 48 hours to secure the subsidy. - Offline Store Version: Bring your original ID and old machine serial number or scrap certificate to designated stores like Suning or Gome for instant deductions at the point of sale.
3. Daily Updates on Platform Coupon Codes: Search and lock early. - JD: “红包600” 3 times (maximum 11,111 yuan) until November 14. - JD: “红包188” 3 times (maximum 11,111 yuan) until November 14. - Taobao: “红包到手886” once (maximum 25,888 yuan) from October 15 to November 11. - Taobao: “天降红包7800” once (maximum 25,888 yuan) from October 15 to November 11.
4. Region-Specific Rules Quick Reference: Timing and speed matter. - Shandong: Coupons drop daily at 9:00; popular items like air conditioners and mobile phones sell out instantly, so enter the page a minute early. - Jiangsu: Drop at 10:00; items sell out within seconds; start refreshing at 59 minutes and 50 seconds past the hour, preferably using a computer. - Shanghai: Lottery system at 7:00; participants register, with results announced the next day. - Hunan: Large allocation on the 1st of each month at 9:00 with high competition; setting an alarm 30 minutes early is advisable.
5. Common Pitfalls: Avoid losing subsidy eligibility. - Failure to pay within 48 hours will result in automatic invalidation of coupons. - Multiple accounts from the same IP will be categorized as “scalpers,” nullifying all orders. - Only individual consumers can benefit from the subsidy; corporate invoices or orders are excluded. - New vehicle invoices must be issued before December 31, 2025, to maintain eligibility for the 20,000 yuan trade-in subsidy.
6. Action Checklist: Print this out and check it off. - Determine whether to purchase home appliances, digital products, automobiles, or undertake home renovations. - Find and photograph old machine serial numbers or IMEI numbers for backup. - Lock in qualifications by searching for the codes on JD or Taobao, obtaining coupons, and adding items to cart. - Gather necessary documents: front and back of ID, old machine code, and scrap certificate for vehicles. - Set alarms ahead of local coupon drop times by 2 minutes. - Ensure payment within 48 hours and upload the old machine information; a successful order will show “government subsidy” on the order page.
7. Anti-fraud Guidelines: Avoid merchant traps to maximize discounts. - Beware of price hikes followed by subsidies: some merchants may inflate prices only to reoffer the subsidy, rendering actual prices unchanged. - Prefer official channels like JD’s self-operated stores or brand flagship stores to mitigate “subsidy fraud” risks. - Monitor price protection policies: some platforms like JD offer 30 days of price protection; buyers must check whether national subsidy orders are applicable.
69 billion yuan marks the conclusion of this year’s "national red envelope," with the policy firmly stating that no similarly scaled subsidies will continue in 2026. If you have old appliances, phones, or are planning to trade in your car, now is the optimal time. Don’t wait until December 31 to regret missing out on the “coupons,” lock in your qualifications now and maximize the benefits from the combination of Double 11 and national subsidy!
