- Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale runs from Friday, November 29th through Monday, December 2nd.
- Shoppers can find deals in categories like beauty, electronics, home goods, toys, and more.
- Travel deals include discounts on hotels, cruises, and rental cars.
Amazon’s Cyber Monday event is here, offering once-a-year sales on everything from luxury beauty to kitchen appliances.
Starting as soon as Black Friday sales end on Friday. Nov. 29, the multi-day event lasts through the weekend, with deals like up to 50% off premium beauty products including Lancôme, IT Cosmetics, Ralph Lauren, Mugler, and Viktor & Rolf and up to 40% off kitchen appliances from Ninja, Keurig, and GE Profile.
While Amazon’s week-long Black Friday event already offered discounts on thousands of items, many of those and more will still be marked down through Dec. 2, meaning there is still time to shop. Anyone can shop the sales, but Prime members will have even more chances to save with exclusive offers and free shipping.
Here’s what to know about Amazon’s Cyber Monday sales.

What is Amazon Prime and what does it get you?
Amazon Prime is a membership that you can pay monthly or annually for perks like free shipping and exclusive deals.

Amazon Prime memberships are available for $14.99 per month or $139 annually, with an option for a free 30-day trial for eligible users. Eligible students can access a six-month free trial, followed by a discounted rate of $7.49 per month or $69 annually.
Prime users can also get access to Amazon Prime Video, a streaming platform with thousands of TV shows and movies available to members.
To sign up, simply go to the main Amazon Prime page and click on “Try Prime,” then follow the instructions. If this is your first time trying it, you can get a 30-day free trial.
