FAQ

What is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?

Although Amazon has been a bit vague with the details, we can say that Prime Big Deal Days is the retailer's way of bringing the Prime Day experience to October 2023. 

Last year, Amazon launched the Prime Early Access sale around the same time, and if that event was any indication of what's to come, you can expect a massive sale with historic discounts across the entire site. As with Prime Day, you'll probably need to be a member in order to enjoy the best deals. 

When is Prime Big Deal Days?

On September 18th, Amazon officially announced that Prime Big Deal Days will kick off on Tuesday, October 10th, at 3am EST and will run through October 11th. In addition to exclusive, members-only discounts, the sale is set to feature a ton of Invite-Only deals, Flash Deals, and more. 

Do I need an Amazon Prime membership for Big Deal Days?

Yes. Just like Prime Day and other big ticket sale events, it appears that most deals during Prime Big Deal Days will only be available to active Prime members, with a few possible exceptions. When you sign up for Prime, you'll get instant access to all of Amazon's exclusive shopping events, plus perks like free delivery, video and music streaming, "Try Before You Buy" offers, and more. 

New members get 30 days free, then the subscription is $14.99 per month. You can also cancel at any time, which means you could potentially sign up today, enjoy all of the perks of a membership (including Big Deal Days, probably), and cancel at the end of the event without paying a dime.

According to Amazon, Prime Big Deal Days will take place in the following countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, and Sweden.
