Key Questions Answered
During the Amazon Great Indian Festival 2026, shoppers using eligible SBI credit cards, debit cards, and credit card EMI transactions can receive a 10% instant discount, while Prime members get up to 10% extra savings on select deals.
Exchange offers allow you to trade in an old device for a discount on a new one, with the final value confirmed only when the delivery agent inspects your device at pickup. If the device has scratches, a weak battery, or does not match the selected condition, the exchange value may decrease.
No-cost EMI does not mean banks charge zero interest; instead, the seller gives an upfront discount covering the interest. However, buyers must pay an 18% GST on the interest component along with potential bank processing fees.
