How to shop on Prime Day or Prime Big Deal Days

If you’re looking for Prime Day or Prime Big Deal Days deals, you will need to sign up for an Amazon Prime account. Amazon Prime membership is currently $14.99 per month or $139 per year. You can also start a free 30-day trial on Prime.

You’re only eligible for the free trial if you have not been a member in the past. If you do not wish to retain your membership after the sale, make sure you cancel before the one-month trial ends.

Here’s a list of other key Prime Big Deal Days coverage.

What is the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale?

The Big Deal Days sale is Amazon’s second major shopping event for the year. Over the years, Prime Day has grown bigger and bigger — to the point where Amazon now offers two sale events during the year. Last time, that included the Prime Early Access Sale, but this year we’re getting the Prime Big Deal Days sale. They’re likely to offer similar kinds of deals.

When is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?

Amazon has announced that the Big Deal Days event will take place on October 10 and 11. This is a similar time of year as last year’s Prime Early Access Sale.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is an annual online shopping event hosted by Amazon, the world’s largest e-commerce platform. Launched in 2015, the event was initially conceived as a celebration of the company’s 20th anniversary, but it quickly evolved into a highly anticipated shopping extravaganza for Amazon Prime members. It typically takes place during the summer months, often lasting for 48 hours or more, and offers a ton of exclusive deals, discounts, and promotions on a vast array of products and services available through the platform. The event has become a cornerstone of Amazon’s retail calendar, drawing millions of consumers from around the globe and generating significant revenue for the company.

To participate in Amazon Prime Day, shoppers must be subscribed to Amazon Prime, the company’s subscription-based service that offers various benefits such as free shipping on eligible items, access to streaming music and video content, and exclusive discounts on certain products. On Prime Day, Amazon Prime members can take advantage of significant markdowns on thousands of items across multiple categories, including electronics, home appliances, fashion, and more. In addition to the sales, the event features limited-time Lightning Deals, which offer deep discounts on specific products for a short period or until the inventory runs out, as well as Spotlight Deals, which showcase a curated selection of popular items at discounted prices.

Over the years, Amazon Prime Day has grown in scale and reach, influencing not only Amazon’s sales but also the strategies of its competitors. In response to the event, other major retailers have started to offer their own promotions and sales during the same period, leading to an industry-wide phenomenon known as “Black Friday in July.” As a result, Amazon Prime Day has become more than just a shopping event for Amazon Prime members; it has transformed into a significant retail moment that generates increased consumer spending and drives competition among retailers, ultimately benefiting both shoppers and the broader e-commerce industry.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2023?

Amazon Prime Day 2023 is taking place on July 12 and 13. This lines up with previous years — when the event typically takes place during the summer months. Exact dates have varied a little, but in many instances, Amazon Prime Day has occurred in July.

When did Amazon Prime Day start?

Amazon Prime Day, initially launched on July 15, 2015, was introduced as a one-day shopping event to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary. The concept quickly gained traction, turning into an annual online shopping extravaganza exclusive to Amazon Prime members.

Over the years, the event has expanded both in duration and scale, evolving from a 24-hour event into a 48-hour marathon of deals and discounts. The success of Prime Day has transformed it into a cornerstone of Amazon’s retail strategy, drawing millions of shoppers worldwide and generating substantial revenue for the company.

Additionally, the impact of Amazon Prime Day has extended beyond the platform itself, prompting other retailers to offer competing sales and promotions during the same period, leading to the emergence of an industry-wide phenomenon colloquially referred to as “Black Friday in July.”

How to find the best Prime Day deals

Price check everything

When shopping for Prime Day, the most important rule is to price check whatever you’re buying. CamelCamelCamel is a website that can help out with this. It tracks price lows, so you’ll be able to see if the item you’re looking at was cheaper at some point than it is right now.

There’s also a Chrome extension called Camelizer, which you can install and click on anytime you want to look at the price history of a product. If you’re an Amazon Prime member and are shopping on Amazon.com, any big brand should be displaying the correct pricing.

Watch out for shady reviews

You should always be on the lookout for fake reviews. Although Amazon has removed many bogus reviews from its website, there are so many that it’s become near-impossible for Amazon to keep up.

Fakespot can analyze the quality of reviews on any Amazon page and assign a letter grade indicating whether the product has mostly fake or real reviews. ReviewMeta is a similar site that looks for suspicious terminology or repeated phrases in reviews and offers a failing or passing grade. 

Try to scan for in-depth reviews on any item you’re about to purchase. If most of the reviews on an item consist of the same generic phrases, there’s a high chance that the reviews are fake.

Avoid buying junk

Amazon and many of its 3rd party sellers are sitting on a stockpile of unsold items. As a result, you can find a fire sale on a range of off-season items and apparel during Amazon Prime Day 2022. It’s advisable to buy only things you actually need to avoid the trap of not-so-useful purchases.

Don’t be afraid of refurbished items.

If you’re looking to make huge savings, a refurbished item may be worth considering. Amazon tends to offer solid refurbished Apple Watch deals. There’s also an Amazon warehouse website listing deals on pre-owned, used, and open-box items. Keep in mind that most actual Prime deals will be on new items — so if you come across a refurbished item, it’s worth taking a quick look at how much it costs new.

FAQ

When is Amazon Prime Day 2023?

Prime Day 2023 took place on July 12 and July 13. However, there’s a second big shopping event, set to take place on October 10 and 11.

Is Prime Day once or twice a year?

Amazon Prime Day itself is still only once per year — but Amazon has announced a second Prime-exclusive sale the past two years. This year, that second event is the Prime Big Deal Days sale. So, there are two Prime-themed events, but they have different names.

Are things actually cheaper on Prime Day or Prime Big Deal Days?

Yes! Not only does Amazon discount its products on these days, but plenty of other companies also get in on the fun too. Lots of things are cheaper on Amazon Prime Day, so it’s well worth taking advantage of the event.

Do other retailers have Prime Day deals?

Technically speaking, no. Prime Day is exclusively an Amazon event. However, many other large retailers may launch promotions of their own to take advantage of the huge online audiences around Prime Day and Prime Early Access.

Are Prime Day or Prime Big Deal Days worth it?

Yes. If you’re in the market for a new device or product, then Prime Day is absolutely worth taking advantage of. You have to be an Amazon Prime member for these deals.

Do I need Prime for Prime Day?

Yes. You will need Amazon Prime to take full advantage of the Prime Day and Prime Early Access deals. Amazon Prime offers things like free two-day shipping, access to Prime Video, and more. It’s worth it for those who regularly shop on Amazon for the shipping alone. Amazon has discounts for some people too — like students.
