The time for this year’s biggest shopping day is almost upon us, so here are some tips on how to shop smarter with Freja. First of all, however, let’s see how this shopping holiday got its strange name.

Why Black Friday?

Black Friday dates back to the 1920s when the Macys store chain in the US started a sale on the Friday after Thanksgiving – which always falls on the last Thursday in November. Although it is not an official holiday in the United States, many schools and workplaces are closed, allowing people to focus fully on shopping. Only in America…

The hysteria grew year by year and in the early 60s there was such chaos on the streets of Philadelphia that the police described it as a “Black Friday”.

Survival Guide for Black Friday

Check Out Online

If you want to avoid chaos in town, you can shop online and check out comfortably with Freja.

With Resurs Bank’s checkout service, you can buy now and pay later in many stores and chains, for example Mio, Netonnet and Bauhaus.

Select invoice purchase in the checkout and identify yourself with Freja.

Get Your Money Back

At Refunder, you get cash back on everything you buy in over 1,000 stores that are currently bursting with offers. You can also access all of Refunder’s offers directly through ‘Explore’ in the Freja app.

Benefit from Student Discounts

STUK is the student card that always gives discounts at well-known brands and stores. During Black Week, there is of course an incredible amount happening at STUK and you can easily use Freja to log in to the service or register.

Don’t Forget Your Loyalty Points

If you do go out into the crowds, don’t forget to register your loyalty points with Freja. After all, Freja is not only an e-identification but also a physical ID and you can use it in over 7,000 stores, for example Kjell & Company and Stadium.

Pick Up Your Parcel Easily with Freja

When your online purchases are to be delivered, you easily pick them up with Freja. The same ID card that you register loyalty points with works for parcel delivery at PostNord and DB Schenker.

If you have any questions about how to use Freja, do you know that our friendly support answers the phone every day between 8am and 10pm? Happy shopping week!
