What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is a sale event for Prime members. It’s usually held twice a year – once in the summer and again in October with Prime Big Deal Days, which kick-starts Christmas shopping. The event features deals across top brands, from Apple to Dyson and many more, as well as offers on Amazon’s own bestselling tech, including Kindle ereaders and Echo dot smart speakers.

When is the next Amazon Prime Day sale?

The Prime Big Deal Days sale (also known as Prime Day) kicked off today (Tuesday 7 October) and will run until 11.59pm on Wednesday 8 October. Unlike the four-day Prime sale we saw over the summer, you only have two days to shop the deals this October.

How to get the best deal on Amazon Prime Day

Before you shop the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale, make a wishlist, to avoid buying products you don’t really need. Once the sale starts, use price history tools, such as Camelcamelcamel, to see if you’re truly getting a good deal or if you should hold off buying until the price goes down even further.

It’s also worth doing a quick Google search to see if you can get a better price at other retailers. Competing retailers often reduce the prices of popular products to match Amazon’s deals – some retailers may even provide better offers than Amazon. They may also throw in a longer warranty or free delivery.

Do you need to be a Prime member?

If you want to take advantage of Prime Big Deal Days discounts, you must be a Prime member. A Prime membership costs £8.99 a month, or £95 if you pay annually. If you’re 18-22-years-old, you can pay £4.49 a month (half the standard price), and you can get a six-month trial to see if it’s for you.Perks include unlimited one-day delivery, access to Prime Video and the chance to shop Prime-exclusive deals.

However, if you’re unsure about adding another monthly cost to your bills, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial. This will give you full access to all the Prime member benefits, and you can cancel at any time during your trial to avoid being charged when it expires. Just bear in mind that this only works if you haven’t signed up for the free trial before.
