Amazon Prime 'Day' Returns in October

08.08.2023 - 20:30 / pcmag.com

Amazon's Prime "Day" is now officially a bi-annual event. The company today confirmed that it will host a second day of deals for Prime members this fall.

Smack dab between Prime Day 1.0 and this year's other major shopping holiday—Black Friday—Amazon will hold Prime Big Deal Days(Opens in a new window) sometime in October. The name seems to be a nod to the fact that these sales are no longer one-day events, but multi-day deal extravaganzas looking to entice those eager to get a head start on their holiday shopping.

Amazon didn't say exactly when Prime Big Deal Days will take place, but it did announce that you'll need to be a Prime member(Opens in a new window) in one of 19 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, the US, and the UK.

Last year was the first time Amazon expanded Prime Day savings to a second event in the fall, which it called the Prime Early Access Sale. Judging by that event, discounts on Prime Big Deal Days may not be as plentiful as those we saw on Prime Day in July, but there should be some excellent second chances for those who missed out over the summer.

It’s also a great time to save big on Amazon’s own brand of devices like Ring, Blink, Eero, and iRobot Roombas. But look for deals on Samsung, Sony, LG, Apple, Asus, and Shark, too.

We'll keep you posted as Amazon reveals more details about its Prime Big Deal Days(Opens in a new window) (or Prime Day 2.0, if you prefer). If you're not yet a Prime member, Amazon offers new users a 30-day trial.(Opens in a new window)
