What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is an annual shopping holiday designed to rival events like BF and Cyber Monday. The sale lasts two days, typically in mid-July.

Amazon staggers many shorter deals throughout the two-day event. It includes many limited-time discounts that may only last several hours. High-demand items frequently sell out before the deal expires.

Amazon announces some deals in advance — often including Amazon-made devices like Kindle and Echo. However, "Flash Deals" often remain a mystery until they go live on the website.

The surprise factor encourages customers to check back continually, leading to unplanned purchases. The continual discovery of new offers can also bring about non-stop media coverage, essentially providing Amazon with free advertising throughout the entire two-day event.

Frequently-asked questions

Is there a Prime Day in October 2023?

Amazon is holding a fall October Prime sale event called Big Deal Days on October 10-11.

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day 2022 occurred on July 12 and 13, with a Prime Early Access Sale following on October 11 and 12 that provided shoppers with early access to holiday deals. Prime Day 2023 ran July 11-12, 2023 and a second Prime Day called Prime Big Deal Days is set for October 11-12.

From 2015 to 2019, Amazon held Prime Day in mid-July. The online seller held the first Prime Day in honor of the website's 20th anniversary that month.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Amazon pushed back the 2020 event to October.

The mid-July timeframe was reinstated in 2022.

Does Amazon Prime Day include Apple deals?

Yes. The 2022 iteration featured a hefty discount on the Apple Watch Series 7, discounting it by $120 with prices as low as $279. AirPods with Wired Case were also on sale for $89.99, the cheapest price seen in 2022.

In 2021, the sale included numerous Apple products, including AirPods deals for $60 off, $120 off an Apple Watch Series 6, and up to $200 off M1 MacBooks.

In 2019, Amazon became an official Apple Authorized Reseller. Llistings described as both "sold by" and "ships from" Amazon.com are guaranteed to be official Apple products.

Third-party resellers can sell Apple products on Amazon, but they may present some risk of receiving counterfeits, open-box items listed as new, or other issues.

Viewing seller ratings and reviews can help shoppers discern whether a particular deal is trustworthy.

When was it held in the past?

Amazon's sale has fallen on the following dates:

• 2015 - July 15
• 2016 - July 12
• 2017 - July 11 and 12
• 2018 - July 16 and 17
• 2019 - July 15 and 16
• 2020 - October 13 and 14
• 2021 - June 21 and 22
• 2022 - July 12 and 13
• 2023 - July 11 and 12

Amazon postponed the 2020 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company returned to running the sale in the normal July spot for 2022.

Does Amazon Prime Day have good deals?

Amazon's sales often provide steep discounts from standard retail pricing.

In 2015, the event's first year, customers complained that most sale items were far from popular. Social media users criticized the event for serving as little more than an "Amazon garage sale."

However, the company began offering more appealing sale items in subsequent years. In 2016, Amazon said customers placed 60% more orders than in the first year.

Today, Prime Day's high-profile deals are much closer to Black Friday sales than they were at the beginning.

Does it require a Prime Membership?

Yes, Prime Day deals are only available to Amazon Prime members. An Amazon Prime subscription costs $139 annually or $14.99 per month. The pricing for a Prime Membership has increased in the past year, but trials are available and may be utilized during Prime Day to take part in the deals available for purchase. 

Is there a Prime student discount?

Yes, Amazon has a Prime student discount program. Students can pay $69 per year or $7.49 per month. Currently, you may try Amazon Prime Student with a free 6-month trial. Following the trial, you'll pay just $7.49 a month. Students are required to submit documentation to verify their eligibility.

How much money do customers save?

Amazon says that customers saved $1.7 billion during the 2022 shopping event.

What are the most popular items?

According to Amazon, its Amazon Music promotions offered the best deal ever for Prime members and drove more sign-ups for Amazon Music Unlimited worldwide than any other Prime Day.

The company listed top-selling item types, excluding Amazon devices, from several other regions:

• United States: Waterpik Electric Water Flosser
• Germany and Austria: Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Android Tablet
• France: Philips OneBlade replacement blades
• Singapore: Vita Coco Natural Coconut Water
• Australia: DualSense Wireless Controller for the PlayStation 5
• United Arab Emirates: Fairy Lemon Dishwashing Liquid Soap

Amazon says the Fire TV Stick 4K with Alexa Voice Remote was the most popular global purchase. The company also mentioned that customers purchased a record-setting number of Fire TVs, from brands including Toshiba and Insignia.

How much money do third-party sellers make?

According to an Amazon press release, 2022 "was the biggest Prime Day event for Amazon's selling partners."

Does the event include anything other than deals?

In 2018, Amazon began partnering with artists to include live concerts for Prime customers. That year, the firm held an event with Ariana Grande that streamed on Amazon Video and Twitch. A 2019 concert featured a performance by Taylor Swift and other popular musical acts. In 2021, Amazon offered the Prime Day Show, featuring music from Billie Eilish, Kid Cudi, and H.E.R.
