Cricut Sales FAQ
Does Cricut actually go on sale?
Yes. Cricut runs several major events annually. You'll find a massive Black Friday event in late November, plus two other major windows in February and August. Outside these periods, the official site updates a live Sale and Clearance section with fresh markdowns year-round.
When's the absolute best time to buy a machine?
Black Friday weekend brings the steepest price cuts on machines. If you can't wait until late November, the August Make It Yours event is your next strongest option.
Do Cricut Access members get extra store discounts?
Yes. Cricut Access is primarily a design subscription, but it includes serious shopping perks. Members get a flat 10% off materials and accessories on the official site. Paid subscribers also receive a $10 discount benefit every three months. If you buy vinyl or cardstock regularly, these savings add up fast.
Is there a discount for teachers or students?
Cricut offers a specific US educator discount. Verified teachers receive 15% off materials and accessories, plus free shipping on their entire order. They also get exclusive reduced pricing on select cutting machines. You verify your teaching status directly through GoCertify on cricut.com.
Do Cricut sales happen on Amazon too?
Absolutely. Cricut manages an official Amazon storefront that perfectly mirrors their major machine discounts. When prices drop for Black Friday or Spring events on the main site, those exact deals hit Amazon. You get the same authentic machines, full warranty coverage, and the added perk of fast Prime shipping.
What items actually get discounted during big events?
Major events prioritize heavy discounts on machine bundles and heat presses. You'll also see bulk material packs, Smart Iron-On vinyl, and infusible ink sheets marked down. Accessories like blades and mats show up mostly in the everyday clearance section rather than headline sales.
Do international shoppers get the same sales?
Not always. Cricut manages separate storefronts for the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and Europe. They operate completely independently. A spring sale in the US won't automatically trigger one in the UK. Black Friday is the rare global exception where all major regional sites drop their prices simultaneously.
Does Cricut have a permanent clearance section?
Yes. Both the US and UK storefronts feature dedicated clearance pages. You'll find up to 70% off discontinued material colors, older tool kits, and surplus accessories.
How do you get free shipping?
Free shipping activates automatically when your order hits a specific spending threshold. This minimum amount varies depending on your region. US teachers bypass this entirely and get free shipping on every verified order. During major holiday events, Cricut sometimes drops the minimum requirement and extends free delivery sitewide.
Should I wait for a holiday to buy materials?
No. While machines demand patience for a holiday drop, materials do not. The official website constantly rotates deals on vinyl, cardstock, and blanks in their active sale section. Browse those weekly markdowns instead of waiting months for a seasonal event.
