Halloween Sale: Gift Card Deals Up to 80% Off

Summary: The Halloween sale 2026 runs until 23:59 on November 2, with gift card deals of up to 80% off across more than 6,000 brands. Gaming and sports cards went on sale early on October 16, and every other category joins on October 24. The deepest cuts are on game keys, Windows licenses, streaming and security software, while big retailers like Target, Amazon and Walmart sit at around 1% off, which still helps when you stack them with in-store Halloween deals.

• The Halloween gift card sale covers 17 categories, from gaming and streaming to food, travel, home and experiences.
• Top discounts: Devil May Cry 5 and Call of Duty: WWII (80% off), Resident Evil Village (76%), Windows 11 (74%) and Deezer (45%).
• The Steam Halloween sale 2026, called Steam Scream Fest, overlaps the last week of the deal, from October 26 to November 2.
• Prices vary by card value and currency, so check the final price at checkout before you pay.

Yes, the Halloween sale is live: gaming and sports gift cards have been discounted since October 16, and the rest of the catalog joins on October 24. Everything ends at 23:59 on November 2, two days after Halloween itself, which falls on Saturday, October 31 this year. If you are hunting for Halloween deals that go beyond candy and costumes, this is the place to stock up on discounted gift cards for games, shows, dinners and trips.

Unlike a typical Halloween clearance sale, nothing here is leftover stock. These are full-value digital codes delivered by email, priced below face value, and you can pay with crypto, cards or other common methods. Below you will find the full category schedule, the best gift card deals, and how to stack them with the Halloween candy sale, decor sale and food deals that stores run every October.

Halloween Sale Dates and Categories

The Halloween sale 2026 is split into 17 category campaigns. Two of them started early, so gamers and sports fans get an extra week:

Because the discounts are applied automatically, there is no promo code to enter. Pick a card, choose the value, and the Halloween gift card sale price is already in the total.

It is not a US-only event either. Cards are sold for many countries, so this also works as a Halloween sale UK shoppers can use, alongside Halloween offers for Europe, Canada and Australia. Just pick the card for the country where you will spend it.

The Best Gift Card Deals in the Halloween Sale

Most of the steepest discounts sit in gaming and software. If you are searching for the best gift card deals right now, here are the standout cards, grouped by category, with the maximum discount each one reaches during the gift card sale:

The figure shown is the best rate for each card. The same brand can carry a different discount in another currency or denomination, so the exact saving depends on which version you choose. These gift card deals change daily, so the list of gift card deals this week may look slightly different next week.

Halloween Game Deals and the Steam Halloween Sale

Horror fans have plenty to choose from. Resident Evil Village is up to 76% off, Doom Eternal 76%, Resident Evil 3 up to 72%, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan 70%, Back 4 Blood 57%, Dredge 56% and Ghostwire: Tokyo 55%. Newer releases are discounted too, with Silent Hill f at 17% off.

Timing matters if you also plan to shop the Steam Halloween sale. If you are asking "when is the Steam Halloween sale", Valve has scheduled Steam Scream Fest (officially Steam Scream V Fest) for October 26 to November 2, so the Steam Halloween sale 2026 overlaps the final week of this event. Buying a Steam gift card before Steam Scream Fest starts means your wallet is topped up and ready when the horror titles drop in price. A Steam gift card sale on its own is usually small, at about 1% off here, but stacking it with Steam's own discounts adds up.

Console and platform cards are on sale as well, so these are some of the better gaming gift card deals of the season:

• Xbox gift card sale: Xbox cards up to 6% off, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate up to 36% off and Game Pass Premium up to 24% off, which beats most Xbox gift card deals in stores.
• PlayStation gift card sale: up to 17% off on euro-denominated PlayStation cards and 7% on US cards, among the strongest PlayStation gift card deals around.
• Nintendo gift card sale: US Nintendo cards are 7% off, and the Nintendo eShop gift card sale reaches 6% on Canadian cards.
• Roblox gift card sale: the worldwide Robux card is 9% off, which makes this a rare Robux gift card sale and one of the better Roblox gift card deals outside the usual retail promotions.

Pair any of these with the steep game-key discounts above and a full Halloween gaming night costs far less than paying list price at the console store.

Streaming, Music and Software Deals for Halloween Night

A horror movie marathon is the easiest Halloween plan there is, and the streaming side of the sale covers it. Deezer is up to 45% off, IndieFlix 43%, Rakuten TV 30% and Crunchyroll 19%, while Hulu and Paramount+ carry smaller 3% to 4% discounts.

Software is where some of the largest absolute savings hide. Windows 11 Home and Pro licenses are 74% off, Microsoft 365 Personal is 8% off, and security suites from Bitdefender, Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky are discounted by 30% to 39%. VPN cards such as Mysterium VPN (12%) and Proton VPN Plus (7%) and the NordPass password manager (9%) round out the category.

Retail Gift Card Sale: Target, Amazon, Walmart and More

Many shoppers spend the autumn waiting for a Target gift card sale or an Amazon gift card sale. The discounts on these big retailers are modest during this Halloween sale, but they still lower the cost of costumes, candy and decorations. Here is how the most searched retail brands compare:

The same pattern holds across the list: an Apple gift card sale or a Best Buy gift card sale at 1% off, a Home Depot gift card sale at 1%, a CVS gift card sale at 2%, and a Sephora gift card sale or Ulta gift card sale at 3% for beauty shoppers.

Amazon gift card deals and Apple gift card deals rarely go beyond a percent or two anywhere, so a 1% cut is in line with the market. If you keep asking "when is the Target gift card sale", you do not have to wait for Target's own promotion: Target gift card deals are live here until November 2, and Walmart gift card deals run on the same dates.

Halloween Candy Sale: How to Pay Less for Treats

Halloween candy deals are the most searched Halloween deals of all, and a discounted store card is an easy way to stack on top of them. Buy a Walmart, Target or CVS card at a discount, then spend it during the Walmart Halloween candy sale, the Target Halloween candy sale or the CVS Halloween candy sale. You get the store's price cut plus the card discount on the same bag of candy. Searches like "when does Halloween candy go on sale" peak in late October, so it pays to have the card ready before the markdowns start.

When does Halloween candy go on sale? Stores usually discount it in stages: smaller deals and multi-buy offers in the weeks before October 31, then the biggest markdowns on leftover stock from November 1. The best Halloween candy deals tend to come in the first days of November, which is also when this Halloween sale ends, so buy the card before November 2 and spend it once the Halloween candy sale prices drop.

• Walmart Halloween candy sale: pay with a discounted Walmart card at 1% off.
• Target Halloween candy sale: pay with a discounted Target card at 1% off.
• CVS Halloween candy sale: a CVS Pharmacy card is 2% off, the best of the three for Halloween candy on sale.

If you are buying Halloween candy on sale in bulk for trick-or-treaters, even a 1% to 2% saving on top of store discounts adds up across a big order.

Halloween Decor Sale and Halloween Costume Sale Deals

A 1% saving looks small, but it stacks. If the Target Halloween sale already has decorations marked down in store, paying with a discounted card trims the bill a little further. The same logic works for a Walmart Halloween sale or a Halloween costume sale on Amazon. For craft supplies, the Michaels Halloween sale pairs well with a Michaels card at 5% off, the best rate for a Halloween decor sale haul.

Shoppers looking for a Halloween decorations sale usually find the deepest cuts on Halloween decorations on sale after October 31, so a discounted Home Depot, Michaels or Target card bought now is worth keeping for that Halloween decor sale too.

Fashion and lifestyle cards go further: Swarovski is up to 11% off, Columbia Sportswear 8%, Build-A-Bear Workshop 8%, and Adidas and Macy's 7%. If you are planning a Halloween costume sale haul, looking for Halloween costumes on sale, or need a new jacket for trick-or-treating, those cards are the better value. For spooky lighting at home, smart bulbs from Lumary let you switch your porch to orange and purple without buying a new set of Halloween decorations every year.

Halloween Food Deals and Restaurant Gift Card Deals

Searches for Halloween food deals spike every October, and the restaurant side of this sale gives you a way to lock in savings before the party. Uno's Pizzeria & Grill is 7% off, which makes it one of the better Halloween pizza deals if you are feeding a crowd. J. Christopher's is 6% off, Cold Stone Creamery and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf are 5% off, and Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen is 2% off. Compared with typical restaurant gift card deals, these rates hold up well.

Chains run their own Halloween fast food deals and Halloween meal deals on the night itself. A discounted Uber & Uber Eats card at 6% off covers delivery from most of them, so you can use it on whichever Halloween deals food chains announce that week instead of buying a separate card for each.

For treats you can send rather than eat out, Harry & David and Shari's Berries are 6% off and 1-800-Flowers.com is 7% off. Themed boxes from GourmetGiftBaskets.com are another option if you want a ready-made Halloween hamper. Compared with chasing Halloween restaurant deals one chain at a time, buying discounted restaurant gift card deals in advance is simpler and works at any time of the month.

Travel, Rides and Experiences

Planning a trip for the long autumn weekend or the holidays? Discounted Carnival gift cards are 7% off, discounted Royal Caribbean gift cards are 6% off, and Celebrity Cruises reaches 10%. Uber & Uber Eats cards are 6% off, so this Uber gift card sale covers both the ride to the party and the late-night delivery afterwards. Southwest Airlines and Hotels.com carry 1% to 3% discounts.

Among travel gift card deals, Carnival gift card deals at 7% and Uber gift card deals at 6% stand out, while Southwest gift card deals are smaller at around 1% to 3%.

Driving to a Halloween party or heading out on an autumn road trip? OEDRO is running Halloween specials on car and truck accessories such as running boards, floor mats and tonneau covers. Use code HLN10 for 10% off, HLN15 for 15%, HLN20 for 20%, HLN30 for 30%, or HHLN50 for $50 off. Check the terms at checkout to see which code your order qualifies for.

Experiences are discounted as well. Spa Week is up to 15% off, Virgin Experience Gifts 9%, Main Event 8% and Dave & Buster's 5%, which work well as a Halloween night out for groups.

How to Buy Discounted Gift Cards in the Halloween Sale

Here is how to buy discounted gift cards online during the sale, step by step:

• Search for the brand or open the category you want, such as gaming or streaming.
• Choose the country and currency that match the account where you will redeem the card. A card for the wrong region usually will not work.
• Pick the denomination. The discount can differ between values, so compare a few if the brand offers them.
• Pay with crypto, a bank card or another available method. The Halloween discount is already applied.
• Receive the code by email, usually within minutes, and redeem it or forward it as a gift.

Halloween Clearance Sale Online vs In-Store Deals

A Halloween clearance sale online usually means leftover costumes and decorations marked down after October 31. That is when a Halloween decorations sale goes deepest and when many Halloween decorations on sale and Halloween costumes on sale get their biggest cut. This event works the other way round: the discounts start before Halloween and end on November 2, so you can save on the things you are actually going to use this week. The two also combine well. Use a discounted retail card to pay for the post-Halloween clearance sale online, and you save twice on the same purchase.

Most gift cards stay valid far longer than seasonal stock lasts, so many shoppers use this sale to stock up for Black Friday and Christmas. Buying now at a discount and spending later is one of the simplest ways to stretch a holiday budget, and it often beats waiting for holiday gift card deals or Black Friday gift card deals that may never come for the brand you need.
