Qwen's Last-Minute Deal: Stock Up for Spring Festival with 19 Days Left

Qwen Extends Spring Festival Shopping Promotion

With just over two weeks remaining before Chinese New Year, Qwen is giving shoppers one last chance to stock up using their special discount cards. The AI assistant's "Free Purchase Card" promotion, originally slated to end soon, has been extended through February 28th.

How It Works

The process couldn't be simpler. Users just tell Qwen what they need - "Buy me a box of milk" or "Get eggs from Hema" - and the AI handles the rest. Image It scours partnered retailers to find suitable products, then processes the order for immediate delivery.

"We want to take the stress out of holiday shopping," explains a Qwen spokesperson. "When you're preparing for family gatherings, the last thing you need is another errand. Now you can check items off your list while making dinner or putting up decorations."

Where You Can Shop

Qwen has partnered with an impressive array of retailers:

  • Major supermarkets: RT-Mart, Walmart, Yonghui maintaining over 80% operation during holidays
  • Convenience chains: FamilyMart, 7-11 offering 24/7 instant delivery
  • Online giants: Tmall Supermarket (China's first nationwide AI supermarket) and Hema via Taobao Flash Sales

The service covers dozens of essential categories from pantry staples to cleaning supplies - everything you'd need for Spring Festival hosting.

Why It Matters Now

The timing couldn't be better. As millions prepare for holiday feasts and family visits, this extension gives shoppers precious extra days to:

  1. Avoid last-minute rushes at crowded stores
  2. Compare prices across multiple retailers instantly
  3. Have heavy items like cooking oil delivered rather than carried home

The "3 Billion Free Purchase" campaign launched February 6th to immediate popularity. Its unexpected extension suggests strong user demand as the holiday approaches.

Key Points:

  • Deadline: February 28 (19 days remaining)
  • Retailers: Works at Hema, Tmall plus major chains nationwide
  • Categories: Food, household goods, personal care items
  • How: Just tell Qwen what you need in natural language
