Best Prime Day Deals FAQ
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 (aka Prime Big Deal Days) is the retailer’s annual blowout sale for Amazon Prime members in between Prime Day and Black Friday. (It used to be called Prime Early Access Sale back in 2022.) It typically happens across two days in October and features deals across every category you can imagine, from menswear basics and home goods to kitchen appliances and electronics. The deals rival those found on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and access to Prime Big Deal Days is one of the best perks of having a Prime membership.
When is the October Prime Day 2024?
The two-day sale event Amazon Big Deal Days 2024 is going to be held on Tuesday, October 8 and Wednesday, October 9 this year. However, if you’re itching to start loading up your cart, there are plenty of early deals to shop right now.
What are the best things to buy during Prime Day?
We’ve been covering Prime Day for a while now, and our best advice is to prioritize buying things that you’ve already had your eye on. There’s a high chance your cart will be filled with more things you planned for, so it’s best you stay the course and keep the ol’ noggin clear of impulse buys.
Let’s start with perhaps the most obvious: Prime Day is one of the best times to snag the best prices on trending Amazon-owned devices. Think everything from Alexa-powered Echo smart speakers and Kindles, to Fire TVs, and not to mention everything sold under the AmazonBasics umbrella.
In terms of tech deals, Prime Big Deal Days prices are more or less unbeatable. We’re talking top-tier headphones, cookware, smart TVs, iPads and other Apple products, smartwatches, and PC accessories. There are deals to be had from household names like Samsung, Sony, Bose, Roku, and more during the two-day shopping event.
If you’re looking for style and grooming deals, last year, brands like Levi’s, Adidas, and Carhartt showed out with incredibly low prices. On the men’s clothing front, you’ll find a lot of basics on sale, which means it’s a good time to scoop up closet staples like underwear. Multi-groomers from the likes of Philips Norelco and Braun are also one sale.
Finally, home and kitchen products—from cordless Dyson vacuums to top-rated coffee makers—also see big price drops during the sales event. So whether you’re looking for a new air fryer, Wi-Fi extender, MacBook, robot vacuum, mattress, SSD, or bedding set, Prime Big Deal Days is a solid time to buy.
How long do the deals last?
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will be held for two days (October 8 and 9 this year). As far as deals go, they’re released throughout the day—including Lightning Deals, which run only for a limited time or until stock sells out. In addition to many deals rolling over into day two, expect a new set of deals to land on day two with more of the lowest prices we’ll see ahead of Cyber Week.
Do you need to be a Prime member to shop Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is reserved only for Prime members. In addition to free two-day shipping and same-day delivery, access to the two-day Prime Day event is one of the best benefits of a Prime membership.
Word to the wise: If you’re not yet a Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial, which will give you access to the event. After Amazon’s October Prime Day, there’s nothing stopping you from canceling your membership.
Do other retailers participate in Prime Day?
Over the years, Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days have gotten so popular that they’ve forced the hand of many other retailers, and there are many competing sales—many of them with the same products available during the sales events—to shop if you’re not a Prime member. (Peep places including Best Buy, Walmart, and Target.)

This incredibly versatile loafer from Cole Haan is affordable enough as it is—but when it’s on sale? You’d practically be losing money by not snagging a pair.
Hermès
Terre D’Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver Eau De Parfum
Even sans discount, it’s hard to resist the allure of Terre D’Hermes, a landmark scent blessed by the first name in age-old French craftsmanship. Earlier this year, GQ contributor Adam Hurly called this exact version the “best best expression of Hermès’ iconic cologne,” one of only two fragrances he’s used to the last drop. “It’s a reliable, invigorating, and head-turning masculine scent that’s perfect for all scenarios and seasons,” Hurly says—“and it should be triple the price.”

Often imitated, never duplicated, the iconic Levi’s trucker jacket is a menswear staple that has the rare ability to look great on just about everyone.
