When it comes to Amazon sales, it’s hard to beat Amazon Prime Day. The once-a-year sale typically happens in the summer and brings with it exclusive Black Friday-level deals on everything from cleaning products to big-screen TVs. And right now, we have the inside scoop on Amazon Prime Day 2024, which we're expecting will take place sometime this July, although exact dates are still unclear.
Amazon Prime Day does come with one catch—you need to be a member of Amazon Prime to get those top-notch items at rock-bottom prices. The good news is that you can give Prime a test run without it draining your wallet. Newcomers can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Prime, and after which pay the monthly fee of $14.99. You can also get discounted Prime memberships if you're a student or qualify for government assistance.
While we likely still have a few months before Amazon Prime Day 2024, you can shop for a variety of Amazon deals today including kitchen gadgets, advanced mobile tech, and everything in between. If you want to get an early taste of Amazon's amazing savings, just take a look at the top Amazon deals available right now.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is an annual two-day shopping event for Amazon Prime members. Each year, the sale is met with doorbuster deals on some of our favorite products—think huge savings on headphones, robot vacuums, air fryers, and so much more. The exclusive two-day sale is available to both new and existing Prime members. Not an Amazon Prime subscriber yet? Don't worry, you can sign up today to start saving.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon has yet to announce the official date for Amazon Prime Day 2024. The summer 2023 iteration of Prime Day started on Tuesday, July 11 and ended on Wednesday, July 12. Last year Amazon also hosted an October Prime Day sale dubbed Prime Big Deal Days from Tuesday, October 10 through Wednesday, October 11.
Do you need an Amazon Prime membership to shop Prime Day deals?
Yes. Amazon Prime Day is exclusive to Prime members. The event features the best deals for those with a Prime subscription. If you're not a Prime member, you can shop for these amazing deals by signing up for an Amazon Prime free trial or a Prime membership today.
How much does Amazon Prime cost?
A standard Amazon Prime membership will run you $14.99 per month, or $139 for a one-year subscription. Meanwhile, students and qualifying government assistance recipients can sign up for Prime for up to 50% off.
What should I buy during Amazon Prime Day?
If you've been waiting for deep discounts on TVs, laptops, countertop appliances, or robot vacuums, Amazon Prime Day markdowns offer rare discounts on hundreds of best-selling brands. In years past, Amazon Prime Day has boasted impressive savings on big-ticket items, making it the perfect time to invest in new gadgets and home essentials. If you're looking to elevate your at-home entertainment setup, we suggest shopping for deals on top-rated smart TVs. Meanwhile, if you want to cook up restaurant-quality dishes at home, look to markdowns on customer-favorite air fryers, cookware sets, and pressure cookers.
How long is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is typically a 48-hour shopping event. Although the deals are usually only available for two days, the sitewide sale is one of the best opportunities to score must-have gadgets and home goods for well under retail value.
What stores offer competing Amazon Prime Day sales?
Although Amazon Prime Day is exclusive to Amazon, plenty of other popular retailers typically offer similar sales. Historically, we've seen competing sales on top-rated products at Walmart, Target, Nordstrom, Lowe's, Wayfair, and Best Buy. If you still don't have an Amazon Prime account by the time Amazon Prime Day 2024 rolls around, it may be a good idea to shop other retailers that offer price-matching services.
