When is Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days 2024 event?
Amazon has its official Prime Day every year in July. Amazon's second event, Prime Big Deals Days, is often referred to as October Prime Day. In 2024, it started on Oct. 8 and runs through Oct. 9. During the sale, and the days before, you'll see a lot of great savings, especially on Amazon devices and popular items such as TVs, home security and other tech. For many, this now-annual fall shopping event is the kickoff for the holiday shopping season.
Do you need to be an Amazon Prime member to shop for Prime Day deals?
Yes, Amazon's Prime Deal Days sale requires a Prime subscription if you want to nab any of the Prime-exclusive deals. You don't have to be a paying subscriber as long as the event falls within your Prime trial period. That means you can start your monthlong trial just before the event and get in on the savings for free. For more info on that, check out our guide to getting Amazon Prime perks without paying for a subscription.
Are Amazon Prime deals worth buying?
Depending on what you are after, the short answer is yes. There will be thousands of items discounted, and we anticipate some deals returning or reaching all-time low prices. Because Amazon stock can fluctuate wildly, there's no telling how long the item will remain on sale or be available.

Will other retailers launch anti-Prime Day sales?
Every Prime Day event brings big savings from Amazon, and that means Amazon's competitors offer discounts to entice customers, as well. This October will be no different. We're already seeing deals like Walmart's Holiday Deals sale event, which just happens to start the same day as Prime Big Deal Days.
How we choose the best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days deals
Many of us here at CNET have covered shopping events for well over five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other sales. In that time, we've learned how to spot the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams. We only surface the best offers from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing the best deals to show you.
- Real discounts mean genuine savings. We check pricing history for products listed as on sale to determine when a list price is inflated rather than an actual discount.
- Quality reviews and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn't worthwhile if it results in a subpar product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- Remaining sale time is important, too. Some deals are only around for a short time or may be limited in supply. If that's the case, we'll let you know upfront so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
