💰 If there’s anything every single person on the planet can agree on, it’s this: everyone likes a good bargain. When you spot a good offer and make use of it, your brain’s reward system is activated and releases dopamine — after all, it’s why retail therapy is a thing. But good bargains are proving more and more difficult to find, and — let’s admit — saving your hard-earned money isn’t as easy as it sounds.

APPS THAT ACTUALLY FULFIL EVERY COUPON LOVER’S DREAMS-

#1- XCLUSIVES: Over the years, loyalty cards have garnered a negative reputation, but the right ones can actually make a difference. Partnering with over 3k vendors and service providers, the Xclusives card offers reductions, cashback, and flash coupons for everything from fashion all the way to furniture, healthcare, and travel.

…And it’s not a bunch of obscure stores — Xclusives partners include:

  • Fashion: Dalydress, Hechter Paris, Beverly Hills Polo Club, and more.
  • Footwear: Skechers, Crocs, New Balance, and more.
  • Dining: Ayadina, Country Hills, Emporio Armani Café, Peking, and more.
  • Automotive: Dr Khaled Autoglass, Abou Ghali Motors, Fit & Fix, and more.
  • Travel: Cook’s Club El Gouna, Sheraton Miramar El Gouna, Cairo Airport Services, and more.
  • Healthcare: Dar El Fouad Hospital, Maghrabi, Warany Eye Hospitals, Baheya, and more.
  • Other miscellaneous vendors: Maghrabi, C&CO, Maison Mazaya, Gold’s Gym, Tradeline, and more.

It sounds too good to be true, but it is — tried and tested. All the aforementioned vendors and hundreds of others offer considerable markdowns, refunds, and monthly flash offers.

So, how much will it set you back? An Xclusives card as of September 2025 costs EGP 550 for an annual subscription. Were you to utilize it only a few times, it’d still cover the costs. You can download the Xclusives App from the App Store or the Play Store, and visit their website to find out more about the card.

#2- WAFFARHA: A one-stop shop for coupons, Waffarha took the Egyptian market by storm, seemingly manifesting out of nowhere with a smorgasbord of bullish bargains from entertainment to dining and fashion.

Unlike Xclusives, Waffarha doesn’t issue a reduction card, but is rather essentially a digital marketplace for coupons. You’ll find everything from F&B outlets, movie and show tickets, hotel stays, and a slew of services across different categories.

How it works: Download the app from either the App Store or Play Store, sign up, and browse through their extensive coupon catalog, check out with your card (or Apple Pay for a breezier experience), and head to your venue of choice and redeem your order. Coupons can be redeemed in person, and many vendors offer delivery coupons as well.

To give you an idea of what to expect, some coupons available on Waffarha at the time of publication offer a two-person breakfast tray from Tamara Lebanese Bistro for EGP 460, instead of EGP 755, up to 45% off Renaissance Cinema tickets, and up to 40% off on select annual gym memberships.

#3- KENZZ: A literal treasure trove of all daily essentials, Kenzz is a localized, fully-Egyptian e-commerce platform that exists to fulfill a sole purpose: bringing the best offers to your screen. Think Amazon, but at half the cost.

Kenzz stands out for its TikTok-style shopping experience, whereby shoppers can browse through a video feed showcasing the products on sale in action, with user-generated content and reviews sprinkled throughout.

No matter where you are in Egypt, Kenzz will deliver. Curious to find out more? We recently spoke to Ahmad Atef, its founder and CEO here.

WHERE TO FIND IT- You can download Kenzz from the App Store or the Play Store.

SUBSCRIPTIONS ACTUALLY WORTH YOUR MONEY-

#1- TALABAT PRO: While a Talabat subscription may seem frivolous, it’s actually quite worth it if you’re a serial foodie like we are here at EnterpriseAM. For EGP 79, you’ll get gratis delivery on your restaurant and Talabat Mart orders, as well as Pro-exclusive reductions. You’ll also get a handy infographic on your profile letting you know how much you’ve saved so far. Over the past two months, we’ve saved a considerable EGP 2k.

#2- UBER ONE: If you find yourself Ubering every day you’ll know that it can get expensive very quickly. An UberOne subscription will set you back just EGP 65 per month, and in return you’ll get marked-down rides, earn up to 15% Uber credits on each ride, get priority customer support, and the top-rated drivers. In the past 30 days, we’ve saved EGP 500.

#3- PRIME: Perhaps the most affordable of any subscriptions at a mere EGP 29 per month or EGP 249 for the annual plan, Prime gives you access to Amazon Prime streaming services, same-day delivery at no cost, and exclusive access to special events such as Prime Day. If you do your grocery shopping off of Amazon, those reductions will quickly add up. Even if your Amazon hauls aren’t all that frequent, two or three orders a month with delivery slashed will be worth the EGP 29 investment.

#4- APPLE ONE: We’re no magicians, but we’re pretty sure you’ve run into the “you’re running out of iCloud storage” message a few times. While iCloud storage add-ons aren’t necessarily all that expensive, they also quickly add up, especially if you’re also subscribed to Apple Music and Apple TV. With AppleOne, you can get 200GBs of iCloud storage, Apple Music, TV, and Arcade for EGP 250 per month instead of EGP 530. Subscribed to Spotify? You might consider consolidating your streams to get the most out of AppleOne.

MAKE USE OF YOUR COMPLIMENTARY ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES-

In case you don’t remember, your pricey telecom packages come with quite a few benefits you might not be aware of. Here’s a breakdown of what every Egyptian telecom provider offers at no cost:

#1- VODAFONE: Vodafone Red subscribers gain access to Watch It, OSN+, Anghami, Amazon Prime, Tod, and Yango Play without additional subscription fees.

#2- ORANGE: Orange Premier subscribers have access to Spotify Premium, Amazon Prime, and TOD at no cost.

#3- E&: Emerald subscribers gain access to TOD, VIU, Shahid, Twist TV, Twist Sports, and Twist Music at no charge.

A COUPLE OF TIPS AND TRICKS-

#1- USE UP YOUR LOYALTY POINTS- Been smacking your credit card on readers like there’s no tomorrow? Don’t forget to redeem your loyalty points from each bank’s respective website. While each point may equate a negligible amount, they add up — especially if you haven’t been keeping track. Loyalty points are redeemable with the banks’ partnered vendors, and may — on some occasions — be redeemed directly to your credit card.

AND- Don’t forget the loyalty points piling up on telecom provider apps, too.

#2- BUY IN BULK- Grocery shopping for the week? Make it for the month. Both physical stores and e-commerce platforms often have reduced prices for products bought in bulk. One such example is Amazon, where Prime offers typically favor larger quantities. Combine with zero delivery fees, and you’ve got yourself a good bargain.

#3– KNOW WHEN TO SIT A GOOD OFFER OUT- While this may seem counterintuitive, the truth is not every great offer is for you. A bargain is only as good as its usefulness. For example, 70% off a luxury pet carrier? Great catch, but you don’t even have a furry friend. To put it simply, don’t bank on a good bargain just for the sake of it. Keep that in mind when browsing through Black Friday offers.
