We pride ourselves on our accurate estimates of major Amazon sales like Prime Day, but guessing the date of the next one is no longer necessary – Amazon has officially confirmed that Prime Big Deal Days are returning this October. While we don’t have an exact date yet, last year’s Big Deal Days sale began at midnight on October 10, and the corresponding 2022 sale began on October 11. So it’s pretty safe to assume that Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will also begin in the second week of October. If they start on Tuesday, that would be October 8, 2024.
Prime Big Deal Days take place in 19 countries – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. However, not all countries benefit equally.
Unlike Prime Day, which saw six days of deals in Australia and only two in the US, we expect the same 48-hour sale in both countries. However, we expect a longer sale in some countries, such as Australia and Singapore – typically around 65 hours based on past events – as customers there can access deals from international stores such as the US, UK and Japan.
While Amazon-branded products like Kindle, Ring and Echo speakers—which feature prominently in our guides to the best e-readers, best video doorbells, best security cameras and best smart speakers—are sure to see big price cuts, experience leads us to believe there will be many more.
Amazon Prime Day in July saw Nintendo, Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, Samsung, Apple and Dyson offer massive discounts on a wide range of products, including games consoles, smartwatches and the best headphones, stick vacuums and cheap phones. While we expect a similar result in October, there are no concrete details yet.
We’re also keeping our fingers crossed that there will be discounts on Amazon’s premium services. We’ve previously seen add-on subscriptions to services like Audible, Kindle Unlimited and Prime Video discounted in Prime sales, and with Paramount Plus increasing prices this year, any savings here would be welcome.
Get the most out of the Prime Big Deal Days sale in October
If Amazon’s same-day or next-day delivery, constant deals and perks like Prime Video haven’t convinced you yet, it’s hard to ignore thanks to exclusive sales periods like Prime Big Days.
That’s right, Prime Big Deal Days is exclusive to Prime members, but that doesn’t mean you have to shell out the cash for a subscription if you don’t already have one. New members get a 30-day free trial so you can test the service out And Get access to Prime-exclusive offers without paying a subscription.
Amazon offers free domestic and international shipping on most items to Prime members, so you’re actually getting the discounted price you see. Plus, they regularly add a number of exclusive Prime coupons and lightning deals during sales events that can help you get even more for your money if you’re on the lookout.
However, it can still take a little work to make sure you get the best deals. We recommend keeping an eye on Amazon’s bestseller lists during the event to see what others are buying. You can also shop ahead by adding all the items you want to your wish list instead of your cart. Then when the sale starts, you can easily see which products are discounted. Plus, the Amazon app and these helpful Amazon shopping tools make shopping even easier and ensure you get a good deal.
