The dates to know

These are the Click Frenzy and November sale dates that matter for 2026:

Event	When	Notes
Click Frenzy Main Event 2025	7pm AEDT Tuesday 11 November to midnight Friday 14 November 2025	The most recent Main Event, for reference
PayPal Frenzy 2026	Early March 2026	A Click Frenzy event, ahead of the travel sale
Click Frenzy Travel (autumn) 2026	From 25 March 2026, about four days	Travel focused
Click Frenzy EOFY 2026	June 2026	Returned under new ownership
Click Frenzy Travel Frenzy 2026	9am AEST Wednesday 26 August to midnight Sunday 30 August 2026	Five days, with more than 100 travel retailers
Click Frenzy Main Event 2026	November 2026	Exact dates and start time to be confirmed by Click Frenzy
Black Friday 2026	Friday 27 November 2026	Many Australian stores run sales across the week
Cyber Monday 2026	Monday 30 November 2026	Usually the last day of the Black Friday run

What this means in plain terms. If you are reading this in October, the Main Event is likely to be several weeks away, and Black Friday follows about two weeks later. That gives you time to track prices now and decide which sale to buy in.

What is Click Frenzy?

Click Frenzy is an Australian online sales event that puts deals from many retailers in one place for a few days at a time. It started on Tuesday 20 November 2012, inspired by the US Cyber Monday, and Myer was among the retailers in that first event. The deals listed on the Click Frenzy site are also available on each retailer's own website.

Click Frenzy usually runs four sale events a year, each lasting about four days. The November Main Event is the biggest and works as an early start to the Christmas shopping season, ahead of Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Boxing Day.

A note on 2026. Click Frenzy changed ownership this year and returned with an EOFY sale in June, followed by Travel Frenzy in August. For shoppers, the practical point is simple: check the Click Frenzy site for the confirmed Main Event dates and partner list rather than relying on past years.

Click Frenzy in Australia in 2026: how the year has run

Click Frenzy's 2026 calendar in Australia has looked a little different from earlier years:

1. March: PayPal Frenzy and a travel sale. The PayPal Frenzy sale ran in early March, and Click Frenzy Travel followed from 25 March 2026 over about four days.
2. June: EOFY. After the change of ownership, Click Frenzy returned with an end of financial year sale in June.
3. August: Travel Frenzy. The 2026 Travel Frenzy ran for five days instead of the usual four, from 9am AEST on Wednesday 26 August to midnight on Sunday 30 August, with deals from more than 100 travel retailers. It also opened at 9am; earlier editions, including the November 2025 Main Event and the March 2026 travel sale, opened at 7pm, according to Man of Many's Click Frenzy guide.
4. November: the Main Event. The headline sale, covering fashion, beauty, electronics, home and more.

The 9am start for Travel Frenzy is a reminder that the Main Event start time may change too. Confirm it before you set an alarm.

Is Click Frenzy worth waiting for?

Waiting for Click Frenzy is usually worth it if you already know the normal price, the item is not urgent, and you are buying a category that tends to be discounted in November. It is usually not worth waiting if you need the item now, if the price is already low, or if the product is likely to sell out.

Situation	Wait for Click Frenzy?
A big purchase you have been tracking for weeks	Usually yes, and compare with Black Friday prices too
Fashion, beauty and homewares from department stores	Often worth a look, as these categories are common in November sales
Something you need this week	Usually no; buy when the price is fair
A new release with limited stock	Often no; sale prices may not apply and stock can run out
A gift for Christmas	Click Frenzy gives an early window before Christmas delivery cut-offs

How to tell a real discount from a dressed-up one:

1. Track the price now. Note the price of the exact product (same size, colour and model) for a few weeks before the sale.
2. Compare with the normal price, not only the was price. The useful test is what you would have paid on a normal week.
3. Check two or three stores. The same product often sits at different prices at Amazon Australia, Myer and David Jones.
4. Add delivery and returns. A lower price with paid delivery can cost more than a higher price with free delivery.
5. Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.

Click Frenzy best deals in Australia for 2026: where they usually are

The best Click Frenzy deals in Australia in 2026 are likely to be in the categories that past Main Events have featured most: fashion, beauty, electronics, home and travel. Exact offers are announced by each retailer when the sale opens, so the best preparation is a short list.

• Make a list before the sale opens. Write down the exact products you want and their current prices.
• Sign up for alerts. Click Frenzy and individual retailers send sale alerts by email.
• Shop early in the event. Popular sizes and limited stock can sell out in the first hours.
• Watch for event-specific codes. Some deals need a code from the retailer or the Click Frenzy site. Read the ShopBack store page first, because outside promo codes can affect whether an order tracks.
• Keep Black Friday in mind. If an item is not discounted enough during Click Frenzy, Black Friday on 27 November 2026 is the next big window. Our guide to how long Black Friday sales last covers the timing.

The Iconic, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Big W and Kmart also run November sales, so add them to your price checks.

Amazon vs Myer Click Frenzy price comparison 2026

Amazon Australia and Myer are not cheaper than each other on everything during Click Frenzy 2026; the fair comparison is the same product, delivered, at each store. Each has clear strengths.

What to compare	Amazon Australia	Myer
Delivery	Free delivery with no minimum on Prime eligible orders for Prime members; Prime is $9.99 a month or $79 a year after a 30 day free trial, according to Amazon	Free delivery on orders over $99, according to Myer
Returns	Check the returns terms on each listing	30 days free returns on many categories, according to Myer
Range	Huge range, including third-party sellers	Department store brands across fashion, beauty and home
Early access	Prime members get 30 minutes of early access to Prime eligible lightning deals	Member offers for MYER one members
Best for	Electronics, everyday items and fast delivery	Fashion, beauty and gifting

How to compare properly:

1. Search the exact product, including size and colour, at both stores.
2. Check the seller on Amazon: sold by Amazon or by a third party.
3. Add delivery. A $90 Myer order pays delivery where a $100 order does not, so a small top-up can change the maths.
4. Check the returns window, especially for clothing and gifts.
5. Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out at whichever wins.

Amazon, Myer and David Jones during Click Frenzy in Australia

The three stores bring different things to the November sales in Australia:

• Amazon Australia is strong on electronics, home and everyday items, with fast delivery for Prime members. Amazon also runs its own sale events, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so prices can move again a couple of weeks after Click Frenzy.
• Myer has history with Click Frenzy as one of the retailers in the very first event in 2012. Its free delivery threshold of $99 and 30 days of free returns on many categories make it a practical choice for fashion and gifts.
• David Jones is a department store for fashion, beauty, homewares and food. Check its own sale pages and the Click Frenzy partner list for the 2026 Main Event, because participating retailers change from event to event.

Whichever store you pick, the routine is the same: open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out.

Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out

Sales lower the ticket price; ShopBack lowers the effective price of flights, hotels and online orders after you pay. Make it part of the routine for every Click Frenzy order.

Step by step:

1. Open ShopBack Australia and find the store, such as Amazon Australia, Myer or David Jones.
2. Read the terms on that page, including excluded categories and whether outside promo codes affect your order.
3. Tap through to the store and add your items.
4. Check out in the same session and on the same device.
5. Once the store confirms the order and any return window passes, the cash becomes available to withdraw.

Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles.

A worked example. A $300 Click Frenzy order at an illustrative 5% rate would bring $15 back once the order is confirmed, so the effective price is $285. The rate is only an example; check the live rate on the store's ShopBack page before you buy, because rates change, and many stores update them around big sale events.

What is Click Frenzy?

Click Frenzy is an Australian online sales event that started on 20 November 2012, modelled on the US Cyber Monday. It gathers deals from partner retailers in one place, and the same deals are also available on the retailers' own websites. It runs several events a year, each usually lasting about four days.

How many Click Frenzy sales are there in 2026?

Click Frenzy usually holds four sale events a year, and 2026 has had more. So far there has been the PayPal Frenzy sale in early March, a travel sale from 25 March, an EOFY sale in June and Travel Frenzy from 9am AEST Wednesday 26 August to midnight Sunday 30 August, with the Main Event still to come in November.

What time does the Click Frenzy Main Event start?

Recent Main Events have opened at 7pm AEDT; the 2025 edition started at 7pm AEDT on Tuesday 11 November. Start times can change, and the 2026 Travel Frenzy opened at 9am AEST instead, so check the confirmed start time for the 2026 Main Event before you plan around it.

Is Click Frenzy before or after Black Friday?

Before. The Main Event usually falls in mid November, and Black Friday 2026 is Friday 27 November, with Cyber Monday on 30 November. That gives you two big sale windows a couple of weeks apart to compare prices.

Is Amazon or Myer cheaper during Click Frenzy?

Neither is cheaper on everything. Compare the same product and size at both, then add delivery: Myer advertises free delivery on orders over $99, and Amazon Prime members get free delivery on eligible items with no minimum, according to Amazon. Then open ShopBack, tap the store and check out.

Do Amazon, Myer and David Jones take part in Click Frenzy?

Participating retailers change from event to event, so check the Click Frenzy partner list for the 2026 Main Event. Myer took part in the first Click Frenzy in 2012. Large stores also run their own November sales around the same time, so compare even if a store is not listed.

Do I need Amazon Prime for Click Frenzy deals?

No, but Prime adds free delivery on eligible orders and 30 minutes of early access to Prime eligible lightning deals, according to Amazon. Prime costs $9.99 a month or $79 a year after a 30 day free trial, at the time of writing.

How do I know if a Click Frenzy deal is a real discount?

Track the price for a few weeks before the sale, so you know the normal price. Compare the sale price with that, not only with the was price shown, and check the same product at two or three stores.

How does ShopBack help during Click Frenzy?

ShopBack lowers the effective price of online orders after you pay. Open ShopBack, tap the store, then check out in the same session. Once the store confirms the order, cash comes back to your ShopBack Australia account. Check the live rate and terms on each store's ShopBack page.
