Ten shoppers get $1,500 to travel home

Nearly two-thirds of shoppers start by October
RetailMeNot's 2026 holiday survey found that 63% of shoppers begin holiday shopping in October or earlier, and 47% plan to start even earlier than last year. Some 58% now treat Black Friday as a month-long event, and only 17% wait specifically for Cyber Week.
Self-spending rose 44% year over year, from $302 to $435, and now makes up roughly 42% of total individual holiday spending. Some 63% of shoppers regularly stack promo codes, cash back and loyalty rewards on one purchase. The survey was fielded in September 2026 with 1,183 respondents.
National Cash Back Day, created in 2019, has returned more than $110 million to members. This year also marks RetailMeNot's 20th anniversary.
