Pro tricks to wipe out Black Friday discounts

We know that what you are most interested in knowing are the dates of this event that makes everyone (literally) uproar, since many people take advantage of the discounts not only to treat themselves, but also to do their early shopping for Christmas and Three Kings.

The dates are:

• Black Friday It is the fourth Friday of November, this year it will be the Friday the 24th. (although there are some stores that do Black Week, or black week)
• Cyber Monday It's the Monday after Black Friday, where there are all kinds of discounts online, it will be the November 27 
• Travel Tuesday This is the last day of these great discounts, this day is for all travelers, as they will have several discounts at travel companies, hotels and airlines. This will happen on the day Tuesday, November 28

We already told you a little about the history of Black Friday, how it began and how it became popular. If you haven't seen it yet, well, wake up! You have the story on our Twitter, where we've put together a pretty good thread for you (modesty aside haha), we promise you that you'll have to laugh about something.

Okay, now, let's get to the point! We want to give you some tips so you can enjoy all the discounts, but without dying trying.

You will say: what do you say, why so much drama?

Well, the thing is, we know that sales are cool, but sometimes they're so cool that they blind us and we let ourselves be carried away by the euphoria of the moment. More or less like when you fall in love and you don't see those red flags that are on your face (without crying ehhh), thus forgetting everything you've learned in therapy or, in this case, in Goin.

Remember that this day is about YOU squeezing sales out of stores, not stores squeezing YOU!

First, let's start with the basic tips, like Black Friday 101:

🏅 Buy on official pages

Pro tip: before clicking on a banner or link, make sure that the place you are about to go to is, in fact, the official website. If not, distrust, distrust everyone! Haha I'm getting tired of the drama, but it's because I care about you. In the same way, when buying through a mobile application, follow the same rule: make sure it's the official app and that it's written correctly. Remember that cybercriminals take advantage of the fact that we don't read carefully to create pages with the same flaw and confuse you.

🎣 Beware of phishing

Translated into the Christian language, it would be: beware of identity theft, cybercriminals know how to use it very well to mess us up and confuse us. You can't imagine how some people exploit their creativity in this and become real camouflage engineers. They disguise themselves as well-known brands or even friends and family to gain your trust. How to escape this trap? Again, double check the origin of the messages you receive and verify that they correspond to the legitimate domain of the store.

⚠️ Watch carefully with your card

Having an alert activated to alert you of suspicious account charges will help you to react quickly and to be able to report this to the financial institution as soon as possible. On the other hand, remember that when making any purchase, you should receive some type of confirmation email. If it doesn't arrive, you might have reason to suspect.

We also recommend that you use a prepaid card, because in the event of a scam, cybercriminals will not have access to all your money, since prepaid cards are not linked to the bank. The only money that remains vulnerable would be the money you had entered promptly to make the online purchase. If something goes wrong (we light a candle so that it doesn't happen), the damage will be minor and will be controlled.

Don't be a victim of haste and compulsive shopping

There are many stores that make a small trap, which could easily be a scam, which consists of raising prices little by little before Black Friday, so that that day they go down to the price they were originally, so they wouldn't lose anything and you would end up like that 🤡. But don't worry, we're not going to let them see your face, Goin's Got Your Back!
Here are two websites that will allow you to track the prices of the things you want to buy, and they will let you know when they really go down. You will be able to see the evolution of the price over the last few months and, with this, the scammer becomes the scammer. Here they go:

Camel Camel Camel - Free Price Tracker

Keepa - Historical Price Charts
