Amazon Prime Day info
Got some Prime Day questions? We're here to help...
When is Amazon Prime Day 2023?
Amazon Prime Day 2023 was from July 11 to July 12 in 2023. However, Amazon has revealed that it will be hosting a second Prime Day in October, called Prime Big Deal Days. The company hasn't announced an exact date yet.
Last year, in 2022, Amazon Prime Day ran from July 12 to 13, Amazon Prime Day 2021 was on June 21 and 22, and Amazon Prime Day 2020 was pushed from its usual summer date to October 13 and 14 due to challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first Prime Day event recorded was in 2015.
How many times a year is Prime Day?
Prime Day used to be just once a year, in the summertime. However, in 2020 Amazon pushed this sale event to October 13 and 14 due to the pandemic. After this, it resumed the schedule with normal summer dates, with Prime Day 2021 and 2022 happening in June and July. However, due to the success of the October Prime Day in 2020, Amazon has decided to host two events this year and last. One in summer, the other in fall.
The first Prime Day in 2023 took place July 11 to July 12. The second one, called Prime Big Deal Days, will be sometime in October — more info to come.
What else is there to know about the Prime Big Deal Days event?
This sale will be coming in October (exact date not yet announced) and will go live across 19 countries.
These countries include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, the U.S., and the UK.
What to buy during Prime Day?
There's always a good array of deals on during Prime Day. The buys that we recommend looking for are Amazon air fryers, Amazon devices (such as Echo speakers and smart plugs), and vacuum cleaners.
If you want to know which cheaper items are best to buy, then bulk cleaning supplies and gifts (such as scented candles) are great.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is the retailer's largest sale of the year. You can usually find thousands of products on sale and special promotions available globally over this 48-hour shopping event. Pre-2020, Amazon Prime Day was only 24 hours long, much like Black Friday, but it has since been extended.
During this annual blowout, Amazon will offer plenty of discounted buys, including homeware and outdoor items. There will be deals on its own products, too, like Echo and Halo devices, as well as savings on small businesses selling items such as cleaning supplies, home fragrances, and decor.
Is Amazon Prime Day only for Prime Members?
These discounts are only available to those who are Prime members. If you're not already, there’s a free 30-day membership trial available now so you can get in on the action. Since it comes with free and fast Prime delivery, Prime Video, Amazon Music, and more, we won’t blame you if you chose to extend your membership past its first month.
Amazon Black Friday info
The Amazon Black Friday sale for 2022 happened last November. You can visit Amazon's Black Friday page now, although there aren't any deals up for grabs yet. We'll be updating this page with Amazon Black Friday 2023 information, as it comes in.
When is Amazon's Black Friday sale in 2023?
Black Friday 2023 is on November 24 this year. Though we do expect deals, especially from Amazon, to start appearing a couple of days before. These sales tend to last the entire weekend, but Amazon hasn't yet announced a concrete date for its Black Friday deals.
