Amazon has officially revealed its fall Prime Big Deal Days event, scheduled to commence at 12:01 AM PT / 3:01 AM ET on Tuesday, October 7th, lasting through Wednesday, October 8th. Technology News will provide coverage of the best deals on recommended gadgets as they become available.
This edition of Prime Big Deal Days is shorter compared to the lengthy four-day Prime Day in July. Nevertheless, it presents a significant opportunity for Prime members to secure savings prior to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. The previous Prime Day featured some of the best prices observed on sought-after devices like the iPad Air and AirPods 4, and expectations are high for comparable offerings this time. Past events have seen substantial price cuts on renowned brands such as Samsung, Apple, and Beats, alongside unprecedented low prices on Amazon’s own products.
While Prime Big Deal Days are still a few weeks away, Amazon is currently offering early deals starting today. Discounts of up to 50 percent are available on selected Amazon devices, including the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro Tablet, Kindle Kids, and the Echo Dot Kids Bundle. Additional promotions encompass discounts on the Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle, Luna Wireless Controller, and the Ring Battery Doorbell with Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Camera Bundle. Eligible Prime members can also sign up for three months of Kindle Unlimited for free.
Though Prime Day deals are exclusively for subscribers, retailers such as Best Buy and Walmart frequently provide comparable discounts, allowing for various shopping options. A subscription to Amazon Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139 annually. For individuals aged 18 to 24, a six-month free subscription is offered, which then renews at $7.49 monthly.
The Prime Big Deal Days will be available to customers in multiple countries, including the US, UK, Australia, and several European nations, as well as for the first time in Colombia, Ireland, and Mexico.
Ahead of the Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon will host a fall hardware event on September 30th, where new products such as Echo smart speakers, Fire TV devices, and Kindles are expected to be unveiled. It is anticipated that some of the newly introduced technology will be included in discounts during Amazon’s annual pre-Black Friday sale.
