When is Amazon’s Prime Day 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 takes place on Oct. 8 and 9. During the days leading up to and throughout the event, 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.

Are Amazon Prime Day 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 available.

Will other retailers launch anti-Prime Deal Days 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 Day.

How we choose the best Amazon Prime Day deals

Many of us here at CNET have covered shopping events for several years, including Black FridayPrime DayMemorial 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, and 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 so we know when it’s a case of an inflated list price 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.
