The next Prime Day sale arrives in less than a month.


The blockbuster sale will take place July 16-17, 2024 with Amazon promising discounts across thousands of items on its online store. “Save big on popular brands like Elemis, ghd, Ninja, Samsung, and more,” it promised.

Unlike the best Black Friday deals, Prime Day is only available to those with a Prime membership.

There are over 200 million paid Prime members worldwide who will be able to unlock access to the exclusive savings next month. All discounted items will be eligible for Prime delivery too.

“The countdown to the 10th Prime Day in the UK starts now, and we have a huge selection of deals to come,” said John Boumphrey, UK Country Manager of Amazon. “We work really hard to deliver great products at the best prices for customers during Prime Day and throughout the year, from the biggest brands to the 100,000 small British businesses that sell on Amazon.

“With even faster deliveries and so many shopping, saving and entertainment benefits available, there has never been a better time to be a Prime member. Roll on Prime Day!”

To help some shoppers take advantage of the Prime Day sales, Amazon is giving away £15 in credit to spend on anything in the sales. Coupled with the Black Friday-like discounts we usually see during Prime Day, this could be an opportunity to enjoy huge savings.

Not everyone is eligible for the free £15 to spend on Amazon. First up, you’ll need to be a Prime member who has never backed-up photos in the cloud via Amazon Photos. If you haven’t taken advantage of this membership perk, you’ll be able to claim £15 when you store some of your photographs in the cloud.

While you’re waiting for the Prime Day sale to arrive, Amazon has a number of tips for impatient bargain-hunters. Here are some of its suggestions to make the most out of Prime Day —

  • Get deal notifications from Alexa: Prime members never have to worry about missing a deal thanks to Alexa. Prime members can ask Alexa for deal notifications on products added to their Wish List, Cart, or Save for Later. To get started, just ask, “Alexa, add [product name] to my cart,” and then ask Alexa to notify you about the deal when it’s live.
  • Set up deal notifications that are tailored to you: Keep your eyes on hot trending items with deal notifications. Prime members can set up personalised deal notifications to be alerted when their recent searches and product views have deals. To start receiving these alerts in time for Prime Day, visit the Prime Day event page on the Amazon Shopping app to create the deal alerts.
