    October Prime Day 2024: dates, details and the best early deals

    Vaseline Posted on

    We’re officially just two weeks away from Prime Big Deal Days (aka October’s Prime Day 2024). Last week, Amazon announced that this year’s event will take place on October 8 and 9. Whether you’re ready to get started on your holiday shopping or just fancy a good deal, be sure to put it on your calendar. We expect Black Friday-level discounts on both gift items and everyday essentials.

    In the official Prime Big Deal Days press release, Amazon dropped a number of brands that will be included in the sale. This year you can expect discounts on items from top brands including KitchenAid, Samsung, Beats and Lego. There will also be some tempting travel offers this year, some of which are already active, such as up to 40% off Princess cruises and up to 30% off Avis rental car reservations. Below, everything we know so far about October’s unofficial Prime Day, plus some early deals worth shopping right away.

    Will there be an October Prime Day in 2024?

    Yes, there will be Prime Big Deal Days (aka October Prime Day) in 2024. The sale will be live on October 8 and 9, offering deals on everything from gifts and toys to beauty products and homewares.

    What are Prime Big Deal Days?

    Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon’s annual fall sale for Prime members. The retail giant has hosted a second Prime Day-style event ahead of the holidays for the past two years, and will continue the tradition in 2024. The sale is a great chance to get a head start on your holiday shopping – some of the offers include usually similar to what you would see during Black Friday or Cyber ​​Monday.

    How many times a year does Amazon do Prime Days?

    Amazon Prime Day used to happen once a year, but in recent years the retailer has started hosting a second sale in the fall. While Amazon doesn’t typically call the October event Prime Day, it’s essentially the same thing: a 48-hour event with hundreds of thousands of exclusive deals for Prime members.

    When is October Prime Day 2024?

    Prime Big Deal Days, colloquially known as October Prime Day, starts on October 8 at 12:01 AM PDT and lasts until 11:59 PM PDT on October 9.

    Can anyone buy October Prime Day deals?

    No. Prime Big Deal Days are intended as a special benefit for Prime members. To purchase the deals, you must have a Prime membership. If you’re not already a member, consider signing up now for a 30-day free trial. This makes you eligible for the sale.

    How much will an Amazon Prime membership cost in 2024?

    An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 per month. You have the option to pay an annual fee of $139, which brings the price to approximately $11.58 per month. If you haven’t had an Amazon Prime membership in the last 12 months, you can also sign up for a 30-day free trial first.

    Best Amazon deals right now

    Although Prime Day isn’t here yet in October, there are already some solid Amazon deals available. Here, we’ve rounded up eight deals that our deals editors recommend shopping right away.

    Several Forbes Vetted editors own this portable carpet and upholstery cleaner and say it’s a game changer, especially if you have pets. The price of the machine fluctuates quite often, but every time you see it on sale for $100, you can feel like you’re getting a good deal. That said, it sold for $82 during Prime Day in July, so consider holding out for next month if you want to get it for the absolute best price.

    The Hatch Restore 2 is our top pick for the best sunrise alarm clock and made our Forbes Vetted Best Product Awards list this year. The clock is customizable, has a robust sound library and also has a chic aesthetic. This discount has been available since June, so we’ll almost certainly see a steeper drop in the coming months, but it’s still a decent saving if you’ve been watching the clock.

    The price of this 2024 MacBook Air dropped to $1,449 in early August and has remained relatively constant since then. We don’t expect it to be discounted much further between now and the holidays, so now’s a good time to add it to your cart.

    I bought this book lamp for my partner and then borrowed it so much that we had to buy a second one. The design is lightweight, rechargeable and has an adjustable lamp head with five brightness levels. You can also switch between cool and warm tones. If you can wait, you can get this light for almost $10, but this is still a very affordable price if you want a book light right away.

    Portable water flossers make it easy to keep up with your daily dental maintenance, even when you’re traveling. This model is rechargeable and waterproof (so you can use it in the shower without making a mess). It also has a two-year warranty. This deal matches the lowest price we’ve seen for the Waterpik model.

    This Roborock robot vacuum maps your home so it doesn’t wander around aimlessly, and users say it’s fairly quiet. It also comes with a self-emptying dock that you only need to empty every seven weeks. The Q5 has dropped in price this year, but this discount is still one of the better drops we’ve seen in 2024.

    If you mainly use your iPad for video calls, we recommend the 10th generation model. While it lacks some of the advanced features of the Pro, this classic design is significantly more affordable, looks good, and still packs plenty of power for the essentials (like video chats and casual browsing). This discount has been available a handful of times since late July, but the tablet has yet to drop further.

    This comfortable bed is suitable for cats or small dogs. It is machine washable, reversible and can also be transformed into a flat mat or a cozy donut style bed. All patterns are currently on sale (including a cute pumpkin design for fall). Don’t forget to clip the coupon below the price to get the full discount.
