Prime Day in October 2024: dates, details and the best early bird discounts

We're officially just two weeks away from Prime Big Deal Days (aka Prime Day in October 2024). Last week, Amazon announced that this year's event will take place on October 8th and 9th. Whether you're ready to start holiday shopping or just appreciate a good deal, be sure to mark it on your calendar. We expect Black Friday-level discounts on both gift items and everyday essentials.

In its official Prime Big Deal Days press release, Amazon has removed some brands that will be included in the sale. This year, you can expect discounts on items from top brands like KitchenAid, Samsung, Beats and Lego. There will be some tempting travel offers this year too – some of which are already live, such as up to 40% off Princess cruises and up to 30% off Avis car rental reservations. Below is everything we know so far about October's unofficial Prime Day, as well as some early deals worth buying right now.

Will there be a Prime Day in October in 2024?

Yes, there will be Prime Big Deal Days (also known as October Prime Day) in 2024. The sale will be live on October 8th and 9th and will feature deals on everything from gifts and toys to beauty and home items.

What are Prime Big Deal Days?

Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon's annual fall sale for Prime members. The retail giant has hosted a second Prime Day-like event before the holidays for the past two years and will continue that tradition in 2024. The sale is a great opportunity to get a head start on your holiday shopping – some of the deals are usually comparable to what you would see on Black Friday or Cyber ​​Monday.

How many times a year does Amazon host Prime Days?

Amazon Prime Day used to happen once a year, but in recent years the retailer has started hosting a second sale in the fall. Although Amazon doesn't typically refer to the October event as Prime Day, it's essentially the same thing: a 48-hour event with hundreds of thousands of exclusive deals for Prime members.

When is Prime Day in October 2024?

Prime Big Deal Days, colloquially known as October Prime Day, begins on October 8th at 12:01 a.m. PDT and runs until October 9th at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

Can everyone shop the Prime Day deals in October?

No. The Prime Big Deal Days are intended as a special perk for Prime members. To shop the offers, you must have a Prime membership. If you're not already a member, consider signing up for a free 30-day trial now – this will entitle you to take part in the offer.

How much does an Amazon Prime membership cost in 2024?

An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 per month. You have the option of paying an annual fee of $139, which brings the price down to around $11.58 per month. If you haven't had an Amazon Prime membership in the last 12 months, you can also initially sign up for a free 30-day trial.

The best Amazon offers currently

Even though Prime Day isn't here yet in October, there are already some solid Amazon deals available. Here we have put together eight offers that our deals editors recommend purchasing immediately.

Several Forbes-reviewed editors own this portable carpet and upholstery cleaner and say it's a game-changer — especially if you have pets. The price of the machine fluctuates quite frequently, but every time you see it on sale for $100, you may feel like you're getting a good deal. However, it was sold for $82 during Prime Day in July. So if you want to snag it for the absolute best price, consider waiting until next month.

The Hatch Restore 2 is our top pick for the best sunrise alarm clock and made the Forbes Vetted Best Product Awards list this year. The watch is customizable, has a robust sound library, and has a chic aesthetic to boot. This discount has been available since June, so we'll almost certainly see a bigger drop in the coming months, but it's still a decent saving if you keep an eye on the clock.

The price of this MacBook Air 2024 dropped to $1,449 in early August and has remained relatively constant since then. We don't expect it to be discounted much more between now and the holidays, so now is a good time to add it to your cart.

I bought this book light for my partner and then borrowed it so much that we had to buy a second one. The design is lightweight, rechargeable and features an adjustable lamp head with five brightness levels. You can also switch between cool and warm tones. If you can wait, you can snag this lamp for just under $10, but that's still a very affordable price if you want a book lamp right away.

Portable dental flossers make it easy for you to keep track of your daily dental care – even when traveling. This model is rechargeable and waterproof (so you can use it in the shower without making a mess). There is also a two-year guarantee. This deal matches the lowest price we've seen for the Waterpik model.

This Roborock robot vacuum maps your house so it doesn't just scurry around aimlessly, and users say it's pretty quiet. It also has a self-draining docking station that you only need to empty about every seven weeks. The Q5's price has dropped this year, but this discount is still one of the better drops we've seen in 2024.

If you primarily use your iPad for video calls, we recommend the 10th generation model. Although it lacks some of the Pro's high-end features, this classic design is significantly cheaper, looks good, and still offers plenty of power for the essentials (like video chats and casual browsing). This discount has been available a few times since the end of July, but the tablet hasn't dropped any further yet.

This comfortable bed can accommodate cats or small dogs. It is machine washable, reversible and can also be transformed into a flat mat or cozy donut style bed. All patterns are currently on sale (including a cute pumpkin design for fall). However, don't forget to clip the coupon below the price to get the full discount.
