When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon has confirmed the dates of its 10th annual Prime Day sale, with deals dropping at 12:01am on July 16 and running until midnight on July 17. Essentially, you’ve got 48 hours to snap up some serious bargains.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is an online shopping event that’s exclusive to Prime members. During the sale, there’s thousands of products on offer across everything from Amazon devices to tech, homeware, fitness gear, gardening tools, beauty products and more.
How to Take Part in the Amazon Prime Day Sale
If you’re already an Amazon Prime member, you don’t need to do anything. Simply log into your Amazon account during the event and you’ll automatically gain access to all the deals on offer. If you don’t have a Prime membership, you can sign up for £8.99 per month, or £95 per year if you pay annually, to unlock access to the sale. Amazon also currently offers a 30-day trial to new customers, meaning if you take out a membership just before the event, you can cancel it once the sale ends without incurring any costs.
Why It’s Worth Signing Up to Amazon Prime
On top of unlocking Amazon’s member-exclusive events, including Prime Day, Black Friday, the Spring Sale and Big Deal Days Sale, you’ll also gain access to a host of other benefits. Here are a few of the best:
- Unlimited one-day delivery at no additional cost.
- Same day delivery available at no extra cost in selected postcodes.
- 30-minute early access to Lightning Deals during sales events.
- Access to Prime Video where you can stream thousands of movies and TV shows.
- Access to Amazon Prime Music, with over 100 million songs.
How to Find the Best Deals
There are always thousands of deals and discounts on offer during online sales events, but Amazon Prime Day is arguably the easiest to spot and verify genuine offers. Using the CamelCamelCamel web plug-in, you can view the entire price history of each product to see whether it has been cheaper at any other time. It’s not perfect, but it should give you a good indication of a deal’s authenticity.
Another thing you should always do is check other sites where a product you like is stocked. If it’s cheaper or just as cheap elsewhere, it may not be a genuine deal.
What Deals Will There Be?
Prime Day 2024 will see products discounted across pretty much all Amazon categories. Last year, we saw genuinely good offers on things like massage guns, headphones, sports supplements, running watches, home gym equipment, beard trimmers, skincare products and a lot more.
