When is Amazon’s October Prime Day 2024?
Amazon is holding another Prime Day sales promotion so you can get a head start on your holiday shopping. Here’s all you need to know about the event.
You might not be putting up your Christmas tree anytime soon, but Amazon is already enticing customers to do their holiday shopping much earlier than Thanksgiving.
After Amazon announced that its 48-hour Prime Day event held in July this year broke its own record for sales, the online retailer is holding another sale for those who want to avoid the Black Friday and Christmas rush.
The company will have its Amazon Prime Big Deal Days in October where shoppers can get big savings on major electronics, home appliances, and a host of other best-selling products.
October Prime Day sale dates: When is the Amazon event and how long does it last?
Amazon will hold its next Prime Day Big Deals event, which only lasts for two days, from Tuesday, Oct. 8 through Wednesday, Oct. 9. According to the retailer, Prime members took advantage of millions of deals across more than 35 categories in their July event, with shoppers buying more products than any other Prime Day sales in the past.
Judging from the success of the most recent Prime Day, you can expect the online store to offer even more discounts on items on your holiday shopping list. The smart move would be to get into the action early because many items that go on sale have limited stock. If you want to make sure that the products on your wish-list are ticked off, start hunting early when Prime Day Big Deals kicks off.
You may not even have to wait for the start of the event to buy those coveted items: there are already some products with slashed prices available on Amazon. So if you are pining for some new Apple AirPods, a Roomba, an air fryer, or a new TV, check out the online store as some of these are already on offer with discounts starting at 20% off.
How to become an Amazon Prime member
Many of the deals are available to all shoppers, but some of the biggest ones can only be accessed by Amazon Prime members. So if you’ve got your eye on a big-ticket item, it might be worth your while to sign up for a membership, which costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. For this price, you get unlimited, free, two-day-or-less shipping on your purchases. You can also sign up for a 7-day trial for $1.99.
