Amazon Prime Day 2020: October 8th and 9th

Amazon has officially announced the dates for its upcoming Prime Day event, set to take place at the beginning of October. Known as Prime Big Deal Days, the two-day shopping extravaganza will kick off at 12:01 AM PT / 3:01 AM ET on Tuesday, October 8th, continuing through Wednesday, October 9th, according to the company’s latest announcement.

Prime Big Deal Days Overview

Similar to last year, Amazon is leveraging this 48-hour event to kickstart the holiday shopping season, offering Prime members exclusive savings on a wide range of products from household essentials to tech gadgets. While Black Friday and Cyber Monday traditionally offer the best discounts, Amazon’s fall sale is renowned for its competitive deals, particularly on Amazon-branded devices and third-party items.

Amazon has teased discounts of up to 55% on select devices, including security cameras, Fire TVs, Wi-Fi systems, and gaming controllers. Shoppers can also anticipate deals from various non-Amazon brands like Lego, Samsung, and Fujifilm, in addition to exclusive offers on digital services such as Amazon Music and Grub Hub Plus.

A significant portion of the deals will be reserved for Prime members, who pay $14.99 monthly or $139 annually for the subscription. However, non-members can still access select discounts, with rival retailers like Walmart and Best Buy expected to offer competing sales during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days.

International Participation and Exclusive Deals

Following the success of July’s Prime Day, this event will be accessible in multiple regions, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and several European countries. Amazon will debut a separate Prime Day in Japan later in October, highlighting discounts on popular tech items like 4K TVs, laptops, and earbuds.
