What is Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event?
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is a 48-hour sitewide sale exclusive to Amazon Prime members. Prime members will find limited-time and invite-only deals, and some of the lowest prices of the year on big ticket items. It’s essentially a second version of the Prime Day sale that happened in July, similar to the Prime Early Access sale that Amazon ran last October.
When is Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale?
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Day event runs Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 3 a.m. ET through Wednesday, Oct. 11.
Since 2015, Amazon has held one Prime Day event per year, running two days in July. There have been only two exceptions: In 2020, Amazon delayed Prime Day to October due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And in 2022, after the usual July sale event, Amazon added a second event in October called the Prime Early Access Sale, to kick off the holiday shopping season. This is the second consecutive year that Amazon is holding a second Prime Day event in the same year, with Prime Big Deal Days.
What’s the deal with invite-only Prime Day deals?
Amazon tried something new during July’s Prime Day, offering some invite-only deals during the event. This meant Prime members could request an invitation to score some of Prime Day’s most highly anticipated deals that are expected to sell out. There will be more invite-only deals for October’s Prime Big Deal Days.
Members who are selected will be notified during the day of sale with instructions on how to purchase the item at the set exclusive price. (Check out our instructions for how to sign up for invite-only Prime Day deals.)
Do you need to be a Prime member to access Prime Big Deal Days sales?
