AliExpress 11.11 Singles’ Day 2026 Complete Guide — Sale Schedule, Six KBTY Discount Codes, and a Card-Discount Checklist

Once a year, AliExpress runs its biggest shopping event of the whole calendar — and the 2026 Singles’ Day sale is coming right on schedule. The event is split into a warm-up phase and a sale phase, which means when you enter your code is half the discount.

The AliExpress links in this article are affiliate links. If you buy through them, the site may earn a commission that helps cover operating costs. The terms below are based on AliExpress’s official announcement posted October 29, 2026 (published simultaneously on two Korean community sites); what actually applies is always whatever the final checkout screen shows.

✨ Key takeaways

🗓️ The schedule: three warm-up days, eighteen sale days

🎟️ The six KBTY discount codes

These are the public discount codes announced for the Singles’ Day window. They apply instantly once your cart subtotal (item prices only, excluding shipping) clears the minimum. Both official announcements — the Ppomppu post and the Clien post — listed identical codes and amounts.

Code	Minimum order	Instant discount	Rough KRW feel (at ₩1,339/USD)
KBTY04	Over $27	$4 off instantly	≈ ₩36,200 → ≈ ₩5,400
KBTY08	Over $58	$8 off instantly	≈ ₩77,700 → ≈ ₩10,700
KBTY13	Over $98	$13 off instantly	≈ ₩131,200 → ≈ ₩17,400
KBTY19	Over $148	$19 off instantly	≈ ₩198,200 → ≈ ₩25,400
KBTY28	Over $225	$28 off instantly	≈ ₩301,300 → ≈ ₩37,500
KBTY45	Over $375	$45 off instantly	≈ ₩502,100 → ≈ ₩60,300

Paste a code into the Promotion code field at checkout. The announcement carries an “exclusions apply” condition, so on non-eligible items the discount simply shows as 0.

💳 Payment discounts — who gets how much off

The payment discounts are split across three groups with different eligibility. Read only the group that matches your payment method and shipping type (direct overseas purchase vs. ships-from-Korea).

Group 1 · All items — easy payment (KakaoPay · Naver Pay · Toss Pay)

Group 2 · Direct overseas-purchase items only — card issuers

Woori splits by card brand: VISA is $20 off over $100, Mastercard is $9 off over $60. Even with the same Woori card, switching the brand changes the deal — check the brand right before you pay.

Group 3 · Ships-from-Korea items only — Lotte Card · KB Kookmin Card

✅ The order of operations

1. During warm-up (Oct 29–31), fill the cart with what you want and screenshot the current prices.
2. Once the sale opens (Nov 1, 00:00), check whether the cart subtotal clears your target tier ($98, $148, and so on).
3. Enter the KBTY codes one at a time and confirm the discount registers.
4. On the payment-method screen, look for the additional instant card or easy-payment discount line.
5. Compare the final checkout total — duties and shipping included — against the warm-up prices.
6. Coupon budgets are finite, so watch the screen until payment completes and pay before anything changes.

⚠️ Read before you buy

• Instant-discount coupons run on a limited budget. If the budget runs dry first, they end even while the event window is still open — collect the codes you plan to use during warm-up (Oct 29–31).
• Because of the “exclusions apply” condition, the codes do not work on every item. Check the coupon notice on each product page.
• The KRW figures are estimates at the October 29, 2026 rate of ₩1,339 per US dollar, and they move with the rate at the moment you pay.
• Final overseas-purchase totals may include duty and VAT, so comparing raw discount amounts alone overstates the real feel.

❓ FAQ

Q. Can I buy during the warm-up phase?

Yes, orders are possible. But per the announcement the discount codes and payment discounts are framed around the sale phase (Nov 1–18), so it is safer to fill the cart during warm-up and pay right when the sale opens.

Q. Can I stack all six codes in one order?

The announcement uses a one-code-per-tier structure: you pick the single best code for your subtotal. Store coupons, card discounts and the like can layer on top depending on their conditions.

Q. Which Woori card should I pay with?

VISA-branded is $20 off over $100; Mastercard-branded is $9 off over $60. Both are direct overseas-purchase conditions.

Q. Do the easy-payment discounts cover overseas purchases too?

KakaoPay, Naver Pay and Toss Pay are listed as applying to “all items.” Just keep them separate from the card issuers’ overseas-purchase-only conditions.

🔗 Event shortcuts

Even items the coupons will not touch sometimes carry special-venue prices or first-come coupons, so bookmark these two pages. (Best opened in the mobile app.)

Wrapping up

The 2026 Singles’ Day game is won on three moves: ① capturing prices during warm-up, ② entering the code the moment the sale opens, ③ confirming your card brand. Codes end early once their budgets fill. Fill the cart during warm-up, then pay right after November 1, 00:00.
