Hello Annual Gadget Upgrades! For technophiles, the year doesn’t really begin until March, because that’s when Singapore kicks off its first major gadget and IT sale, and few are as highly anticipated as Lazada’s Online Tech Show, back this year from March 3 to 5, 2022!
From the latest laptops, smartphones, tablets to game consoles, this is the best time for techies to check items off their wishlists, add to cart, and save big because we’re talking discounts up to 80 per cent on the hottest items. This year’s Online Tech Show also coincides with Lazada’s 3.3 Triple Joy Fiesta, so shoppers can save more, with the likes of Lazada Bonus and stackable vouchers.
Of course, we’ve got all the details on how you can save more through a combination of Lazada offerings, including Lazzie Hunt, Midnight Brand Sales, LazLive shows and more. As always, Geek Culture has curated a list of offerings worth checking out too, so here’s how you can make the most out of Lazada’s Online Tech Show!
3.3 Triple Joy Fiesta
Start collecting now because one of the biggest ways to save is by collecting and growing your pool of Lazada Bonus daily, to maximise your final discount of $4 off every $50 spent. This means if you clock $16 in Lazada Bonus, you can get $16 off a $200 purchase, and this is on top of any other credit card promotions or vouchers you’ve collected.
So what’s eligible for Lazada Bonus? Well, as long as you see Lazada Bonus tagged items during the 3.3 Triple Joy Fiesta event, it means you can get bonus discounts! This starts from March 2 onwards so remember, the more bonuses you collect, the more savings you make!
After March 2, shoppers can enjoy an additional 33 per cent off on their purchases up until March 5 via their Buy 3 and Get 33 per cent Off promotion! Your discounts will grow when you purchase three qualifying products from selected brands, so make sure you have a whole list prepared when the sale goes live on March 3. Stack this with the Lazada Bonus and other vouchers, and you basically get more bang for buck.
Lazzie Hunt
From now till March 5, collect various Lazzies by completing a series of daily tasks, including answering quizzes, check-ins, sending a friend a Lazzie, browsing deal pages and other missions. The more Lazzies you gain on this hunt, the more vouchers you can exchange it for!
On top of vouchers, you can also exchange Lazzies for prizes including the Samsung Galaxy S21, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3, Razer Gaming Chair and more. And as part of Lazada’s giveaway, look out for a chance to win rebates of up to $3,333, so you best prepare to hunt Lazzie down as often as you can!

There are five different Lazzie characters to collect — Carnival, Basketball, Boxing, Swimming and Football.
Different Lazzie characters can be combined to exchange for different types of vouchers and gifts, so gather your friends, play together (it’s recommended you do so, because some of the quiz questions need some quick thinking and general knowledge, so Ask A Friend if you get stumped) and pick up those Lazzies to exchange them for bigger vouchers! You never know when you’re going to need them!
Midnight Brands Sales
Taking place from 12am to 2am on March 3, shoppers can get up to over 70 per cent off on top of additional store vouchers on participating brands including Acer, Bose, HP, JBL, Logitech, PRISM+ and more! Yes, we know it’s a Thursday (March 3) and you have work the next day, but if you want the best deals you best keep your eyes peeled!
