When is Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days 2024 event?
Amazon has its official Prime Day every July. Amazon’s second event, Prime Big Deals Days, is often referred to as October Prime Day. It will take place in 2024 October 8 and 9. During the days leading up to and during the event, you’ll see lots of great savings, especially on Amazon devices and popular items like TVs, home security and other technology. For many, this now annual fall shopping event kicks off the holiday shopping season.
Do you have to be an Amazon Prime member to shop Prime Day deals?
Yes, Amazon’s Prime Deal Days sale requires a Prime subscription if you want to grab one of the exclusive Prime deals. You don’t have to pay subscriber, as long as the event is within your Prime trial period. That means you can start your one-month trial right before the event and take advantage of the savings for free. For more information on this, check out our guide to getting Amazon Prime benefits without paying for a subscription.
Are Amazon Prime deals worth buying?
Depending on what you’re looking for, the short answer is yes. Thousands of items will be offered at a discount, and we expect some offers to return or reach all-time low prices. Because Amazon stock can fluctuate wildly, there’s no telling how long the item will remain on sale or available.
Will other retailers launch anti-Prime Day sales?
Every Prime Day event brings big savings to Amazon, and that means Amazon’s competitors are also offering discounts to entice customers. This will be no different in October. We’re already seeing deals like Walmart’s Holiday Deals sale event, which happens to start on the same day as Prime Big Deal Days.
How we pick the best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days deals
Many of us here at CNET have spent more than five years covering retail events, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other sales. In that time, we’ve learned how to find the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and we only come across the best offers from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality ratings and remaining sales time when choosing the best deals to show you.
- Real discounts mean real savings. We check the price history of products on sale so we know if the list price is too high and not an actual discount.
- Quality assessments and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn’t worth it if it results in a bad product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- The remaining selling time is also important. Some offers are only valid for a short time or may be limited in supply. If that is the case, we will let you know in advance so that you do not renege on the deal later and be disappointed.
