October Prime Day 2024: What we know so far about Amazon’s next big sale

Must read

Though Amazon is known for its annual Prime Day event each summer, it’s been feeling like Prime Day happens once a season.

First, we had the Prime Early Access Sale in the fall of 2022. Next, we had Prime Big Deal Days in the fall of 2023. And, suddenly, we hit another seasonal shopping event with the Big Spring Sale this past March.

So, it’s safe to say another October Prime Day-esque event is on the horizon. The Post Wanted team is dedicated to finding the best deals, so we’re outlining what we know so far and some of the best deals to shop for early, while inventory is still high.

To stay on trend with the past two years, the Post Wanted team is anticipating an October Prime Day of sorts for 2024. Similar to what we’ve been reporting on in the past, the sale will likely span for 48 hours and offer thousands of products on great sales.

The best part? The advent of October Prime Day comes with it the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season. We have gift guides to highlight our favorite items to grab for everyone on your list, too.

When is October Prime Day 2024?

While official dates haven’t yet been confirmed, the Post Wanted team is anticipating another two-day shopping event that’s exclusive to Prime members. Be sure to sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime to reap the benefits.

How much is an Amazon Prime membership?

After your free trial ends, an Amazon Prime membership will cost you $14.99 a month. Or, you can pay a one-time $139 fee, which will bring your monthly cost down to $11.58 each month.

With a Prime membership, you’ll reap the benefits of two-day free shipping, Prime Video and access to member-only deals that are available for each Amazon shopping event.

What are the best deals to shop for during October Prime Day?

Post Wanted shoppers typically add best-selling products to their carts during Prime Day events — like Crest 3D Whitestrips and Apple AirPods — and they’re typically the lowest price of the season.

However, now that we’re approaching Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping periods, it’s a good idea to pick up some holiday gifts on your list early. Seasonal, big-ticket items like artificial Christmas trees and snow blowers are a good idea to have your eyes on as well.
