Amazon is set to host its annual fall sale event, known as Prime Big Deal Days, from October 7 to October 9, starting at 3 AM ET each day. This event is designed for Amazon Prime subscribers and is seen as an opportunity for early holiday shopping, similar to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The sales during this event are exclusive to Prime members, although non-members can easily sign up for Prime. Subscribers gain access not only to Prime Day discounts but also various other benefits. These benefits include access to Prime Video, which now features ads unless users opt to pay extra for an ad-free experience, as well as free and expedited shipping on many items. Additionally, Prime members enjoy discounts on select groceries from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods, ad-free streaming with Amazon Music, and access to Prime Gaming which includes free games and a Twitch channel subscription.
Prime membership also allows account sharing—members can share their subscription with one adult and up to four teens and children, although some features will not be shared. Beginning October 1, Amazon will restrict sharing of free shipping benefits for members living at different addresses. New users can take advantage of a 30-day free trial for Prime, which allows them to participate in Prime Day promotions; however, this trial can only be used once.
As a reminder, this article has been updated to provide information relevant to the forthcoming Prime Big Deal Days sale on October 7, ensuring it includes the most current details available.
