What is Amazon Prime Day?
If you’ve never shopped during a Prime Day sale before, you might be wondering exactly what it entails, so here’s a brief explainer. It’s a two-day Amazon sale taking place this year on July 16 and July 17 that will offer exclusive savings to Amazon Prime subscribers with limited-time offers, flash deals and rock-bottom prices. It’s a rare chance to score Black Friday-level pricing outside of November, so it’s usually well worth shopping.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon’s Prime Day is following historical traditions of taking place in July 2024. It kicked off Tuesday, just over a week after Fourth of July sales wrapped up. This is Amazon’s 10th Prime Day event and we anticipate sales across several popular brands.
As you can see from the history of Prime Day dates below, Amazon has held its Prime Day sales each July, with just a couple of deviations from that regular schedule. Notably, in 2020, Amazon pushed its Prime Day sale to October due to the COVID-19 pandemic, before returning the sale to the summer in 2021 in a slightly earlier June spot. Prime Day returned to its July slot for 2022, although Amazon did use October once again for an additional Prime Early Access Sale event that acted as a kickoff to the holiday shopping season. Last year, it was the same July-October pattern, but Amazon also added a new (not Prime-exclusive) sale for 2024 with the inaugural Amazon Big Spring Sale.
As a reference, here are the Prime Day dates from previous years:
- Prime Day 2015: July 15
- Prime Day 2016: July 12.
- Prime Day 2017: July 11 to 12 (first to last longer than one day)
- Prime Day 2018: July 16 to 17
- Prime Day 2019: July 15 to 16.
- Prime Day 2020: Oct. 13 to 14 (delayed by COVID-19 pandemic)
- Prime Day 2021: June 21 to 22 (the earliest to date)
- Prime Day 2022: July 12 to 13
- Prime Early Access Sale 2022: Oct. 11 to 12
- Prime Day 2023: July 11 to 12
- Prime Big Deal Days 2023: Oct. 10 to 11
- Amazon Big Spring Sale: March 20 to 25
Are Amazon Prime Day deals worth buying?
In short, yes. Some of the deals have hit all-time low prices, and there is no telling how much inventory is available or how long the price cuts will last. It’s possible that some items could see further reductions, but the prices you see on the deals now will likely be the best price, especially if they have dropped to a new low or match the lowest price we’ve seen.
How long will Prime Day deals last?
Prime Day generally lasts for two days. It usually kicks off at midnight Pacific and ends 48 hours later.
Amazon’s Prime Day and Prime Day-like events haven’t been single-day affairs since 2016, spanning two days for the first time in 2017 and continuing to be 48-hour bonanzas since then. Many of the deals launching at the sale’s opening time will be available throughout the event, supplies permitting, with other, more limited-time Lightning deals launching and expiring within two days.
Boost Prime Day Savings with These Smart Amazon Shopping Tips
Does Prime Day happen twice a year?
As of now, Amazon has announced only one Prime Day sale event for 2024, and it will be in July. There is no official word yet on whether there will be another event later this year, although we wouldn’t expect to hear about it until nearer the time. Looking at past years, there has been a second Prime Day-style sale in October for the past two years now. It started in 2022 as the Prime Day Early Access sale. In 2023, the trend continued with the Prime Big Deal Days sale, so we anticipate Amazon will once again utilize this spot on the calendar for a sale.
How does Prime Day work?
The idea behind Prime Day is pretty simple: Subscribers to Amazon’s Prime service can get exclusive discounts on thousands of products and services across the site during a limited period. The products, while still available to non-Prime members, will have extra savings for members, with many prices dropping down to new all-time lows.
When you’re logged in to your Prime account and looking at a product landing page, you’ll see the discounted price if it’s on sale. You don’t need any special coupon codes, nor is there a need to use a specific payment method to get the discounts. If you spend your money wisely each year, you can easily make back your Prime membership cost in savings during the event.
What products go on sale for Prime Day?
Since Amazon sells pretty much everything, its Prime Day bonanza features deals on pretty much everything too. Whether you’re shopping for tech, kitchen gear, outdoor furniture or everyday essentials, Prime Day will offer something in the way of savings for you.
In past sale events, some of the best savings have been on Amazon devices. This includes Kindle readers, Echo speakers, Fire TVs and more. It’s not just Amazon’s own brands that see steep discounts. You will be able to grab great deals across a variety of big-name brands, including significant savings on items like laptops, TVs and fitness gear, to name a few.
Do prime day deals change throughout the day?
Unfortunately, yes. All the deals we listed here, and the rest of the deals on Amazon, are subject to change at any given time before, after and even during the sale event. Here at CNET, we’re constantly going through our pages to make sure that they are updated with the latest prices. However, since prices can change at any time, if you see something you like, we recommend buying it as soon as possible before the price changes, the deal expires or the item becomes unavailable.
Do you need to be an Amazon Prime member to shop Prime Day deals?
Yes, Amazon’s Prime Deal Days sale requires a Prime subscription if you want to nab any of the Prime-exclusive deals. You don’t have to be a paying subscriber, as long as the event falls within your Prime trial period. That means you can start your monthlong trial just before the event and get in on the savings for free. For more info on that, check out our guide to getting Amazon Prime perks without paying for a subscription.
Will other retailers launch anti-Prime Day sales?
Each Prime Day, we see other retailers announcing sales that directly compete with Amazon’s event, and it will be no different this July either. We’ve already seen Walmart and Target announce their anti-Prime Day sales — both launching before Prime Day — and we can’t imagine Best Buy will sit this one out either.
Will there be different deals on Day 2 of Prime Day?
Yes, prices and deals can change throughout the Prime Day event. Our CNET experts are monitoring the sale and will keep this page updated throughout the event as deals expire or any new finds crop up, so keep checking back.
Where can you find deals right now?
The CNET Deals team covers all of the best price drops, discounts and deals daily from all the top retailers. Whether it’s a one-day promo at Woot, a weekend sale at Best Buy or a coupon code for a product at Amazon, if it’s a great deal, we’ll be covering it.
