Entering September, national consumption subsidies continue to be available for claiming. The third batch of 69 billion yuan in subsidy funds was fully allocated to provinces and cities by the end of July, with online and offline application channels opening nationwide. What's reassuring is that the policy is clearly set to continue until 24:00 on December 31, 2025, meaning consumers still have over four months from now until year-end to enjoy these "national subsidy benefits."

This subsidy round covers four core sectors: home appliances, smartphones and digital products, automobiles, and home improvement materials. It represents the largest scale and most comprehensive consumer support initiative this year, providing substantial savings opportunities for those planning home purchases, device upgrades, or vehicle replacements.

First, here are the key points! The entry method for home appliance and home furnishing national subsidies is: Search "家电省2000" on JD.com app for direct 2,000 yuan reduction on home appliances. For smartphone and digital product subsidies, search "手机省500" or "数码省2000" on JD.com app to claim 2,000 yuan subsidy eligibility. Be sure to claim first as quotas are limited!

Pro tip: Search the above commands in the app first, then you can simply click on search history daily!

Home appliance subsidies are available through JD.com app by searching "家电省2000" for 2,000 yuan reduction. For smartphones and digital products, search "数码省2000" or "手机省500" for up to 500 yuan savings. Daily searches for "红包2000" can yield red packets up to 1,888 yuan. It's recommended to search these keywords first and save the records for convenient future use.

This subsidy round covers significantly more products than before. Beyond traditional items like refrigerators and air conditioners, lighting fixtures, dishwashers, and robotic vacuum cleaners are now eligible for discounts. First-tier energy efficiency products can receive up to 2,000 yuan reduction, while second-tier products get 1,500 yuan off. For example, if you're renovating and want to upgrade to whole-house LED lighting, you can save thousands while also reducing electricity consumption.

Smartphone subsidies primarily apply to phones and tablets under 6,000 yuan, offering 500 yuan savings. Vehicle trade-in subsidies are substantial: scrapping old cars for new energy vehicles provides 20,000 yuan, while switching to fuel vehicles offers 15,000 yuan. Even transferring old cars to others before purchasing new energy vehicles qualifies for 15,000 yuan. However, remember that purchase invoices must be issued before the end of 2025, with materials submitted by January 10, 2026, or the subsidy will be forfeited.

Offline retailers like Suning and Gome also offer subsidies. Bring your ID card, old appliance serial number, or vehicle scrapping certificate to process applications, with subsidies typically credited within three days. However, note that popular items like air conditioners and refrigerators have limited inventory, and orders placed in August-September may face stock shortages. Logistics and installation services are also strained, so it's best to schedule appointments half a month in advance to avoid delivery delays.

Authorities remind that home improvement appliances can still search "家电省2000" for subsidies. All subsidies operate on a first-come, first-served basis with no handling fees. Anyone claiming to offer paid proxy services for applications is definitely a scammer. Invoices must be under individual names - corporate invoices are not accepted.

From last year to now, the government has invested a total of 300 billion yuan in subsidies. This year's third batch was just released, with the fourth batch reportedly planned for October in preparation for Singles' Day sales. The actual impact has been remarkable, with large-screen TVs and large refrigerators in Fujian and Guangdong provinces selling out immediately upon restocking.

With over 130 days remaining until the deadline, there's sufficient time to replace old air conditioners, upgrade phones, or purchase new energy vehicles. The key now is to quickly claim the vouchers.

One consumer, Ms. Wang, used "家电省2000" last week to purchase an air conditioner, saving over 2,800 yuan including red packet discounts. She's now considering replacing all household lighting fixtures, but with limited subsidy quotas, swift action is necessary.

Honestly, this subsidy round is more complex than previous iterations. Vehicle trade-in conditions vary, multiple commands need remembering, and old appliance serial numbers must be preserved. For those who prefer not to handle online processes, visiting offline stores where staff typically assist with operations is an option.

Don't assume quotas are abundant - popular items sell out quickly. Last June, an air conditioning retailer mentioned that post-subsidy order volumes tripled, with warehouse inventory depleted within a week. The second half of the year is peak sales season, so early purchases ensure peace of mind.

Invoice issues are error-prone. Some people use corporate invoices for convenience, only to waste their efforts. A neighbor experienced this, requiring invoice reissuance and several days' delay. It's best to confirm requirements beforehand rather than encountering problems at the last minute.

Don't waste the daily "红包2000" red packet opportunity. While large amounts aren't guaranteed each time, small savings accumulate significantly. For instance, when purchasing 500-yuan items, meeting spending thresholds can save additional dozens of yuan.

The fourth batch of subsidies reportedly targets Singles' Day and Double 12 sales, potentially featuring more activities. However, those with current purchasing power should buy early rather than risk missing quotas later.

In summary, these subsidies represent real monetary benefits, but swift action is required. Replace needed appliances, purchase desired phones, and trade old vehicles for new energy cars promptly. Remember all subsidies are first-come, first-served - don't assume time remains abundant, as the last Guangdong batch sold out in two days.

Currently, the most important step is opening JD.com to search for commands and claim vouchers immediately.
