AliExpress Promo Code Validity: How They Work (2026)

Sitewide platform codes issued during sale events (618, 11.11, Summer Sale) are typically valid for 7–14 days — the duration of the sale window.

Seller store coupons last 7–30 days.

Flash and limited-supply codes may expire in 24–72 hours or when the redemption count runs out.

Non-event platform codes can last 14–30 days.

No.

Many AliExpress codes are restricted to specific markets.

FYAU* codes work only for Australian shipping addresses.

GCC* codes apply to Gulf Cooperation Council countries.

SS6FR* codes apply to Francophone markets.

The global AFSO* series is broadly available but blocked in some markets that have their own regional series.

No.

Sale-specific platform codes are deactivated when the sale event ends.

There is no grace period.

Attempting to use an expired sale code at checkout returns an expired or invalid error.

Seller store coupons may remain valid past the sale end date — check the expiry date in your AliExpress coupon wallet.

FYAU* and AFFAU* codes are issued specifically for Australian buyers and apply only to orders shipped to Australian addresses.

AFSO* is the global sitewide series and is blocked for Australian accounts.

Australian buyers should use the AFFAU* series during 618 and other sale events — global AFSO codes will show as not applicable for AU orders.

The reliable way to confirm a promo code is still valid is to enter it in your cart before you pay — the checkout page will show immediately whether it's accepted.

AliShopping Tools (free Chrome extension) also auto-detects live, currently-working AliExpress promo codes directly on the product page (and shows a price history chart so you can check whether a "sale" price is genuinely lower than the recent average), so you don't have to guess which codes are currently live.

You can generally stack one platform buyer coupon with one seller-specific store coupon and a shipping voucher on the same order, applied sequentially at checkout.

The exact combined-discount cap and stacking rules are enforced automatically by AliExpress and are not published as a fixed universal percentage — add your items to cart, apply the codes, and the checkout page will show the exact combined discount before you pay.

Promo codes that discount an order's item price may or may not extend to shipping fees — this is set per code and shown at checkout.

A code's expiration date is independent of whether it covers shipping.

No — AliExpress does not offer a way to extend a promo code's expiration date.

Once a code passes its listed end date it stops working, and you would need to wait for a new code from a future sale event.
