If you missed the first round of Amazon Prime Day — the big button retailer’s prized two-day shopping event — you shouldn’t fret. Another Amazon deals fête is on the horizon.
Enter Prime Big Deal Days, an e-commerce extravaganza that will be taking place this October, right on the heels of July’s Prime Day soiree — as announced by Amazon.
This isn’t Amazon’s first rodeo, either. In 2022, the retailer had a Prime Day spin-off in October — following its typical July Prime Day timing — to capitalize on early holiday shopper fever and to offer a suite of thousands of deals.
Though the official dates have yet to be announced, we can anticipate the timing will be more or less around last year’s event, which took place from October 11 to 12.
“This October, we’re bringing an exclusive shopping event to Prime members—Prime Big Deal Days!” Doug Herrington, CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores, shared in the LinkedIn announcement post. “I’m really excited for Prime members to discover some of Amazon’s best deals of the season across 19 countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, the US and the UK.”
And, while it’s not Amazon’s first rodeo at a second-pass Prime Day, it certainly isn’t ours, either. We’ve been covering all of the best deals to shop, products to look out for and what to know during these high-volume shopping events (our version of the Super Bowl, we must say).
Ahead, the New York Post Shopping team pulled what we know so far, what we expect from previous Amazon top-level sales events and some early deals on most-shopped items to scour before the masses.
Exclusively for Prime members this fall, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is a time where thousands of products will be on sale, similar to Amazon Prime Day. This includes markdowns in top beauty products, fan-favorite electronics, popular home finds, top-rated kitchen essentials and much, much more. (Related: Amazon best-sellers to shop).
We’re predicting that the Prime Big Deal Days event will model the October 2022 Prime Early Access Sale. That said, we anticipate it lasting for two days, complete with fast-act Lightning Deals and “flagship products” on sale (more on those below).
We don’t know the set-in-stone dates for Prime Big Deal Days, though Amazon officially announced it will take place this October. The New York Post Shopping Team will be keeping close tabs on any updates we receive, so bookmark this page for the latest.
If you’re anything like us, you sift through Amazon and social media — in equal parts — to best understand the hottest products on the market and what’s on sale. With the economy in a semi-unpredictable state, it’s only natural, anyhow.
How to prepare for all of the savings hitting your Amazon homepage this October? First off, you must sign up for a Prime membership. You can sign up for your 30-day free trial here, which will cost you $14.99 per month after. Or, you can opt for a $139 full-year membership (bonus: it includes Prime Video!)
Besides Prime Video, you’ll also be granted that coveted two-day shipping for all Prime-eligible purchases (yay!) Not to mention the ad-free music streaming, unlimited photo storage, among other we-need-it perks.
