If you haven’t realized already, we’re shopping fanatics here at StyleCaster. If there’s a sale going on, chances are, we’re covering it. If there’s a trend you’re seeing everywhere, odds are, we’ve reported on it. So, now that Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2024 dates have been officially announced, we’re all ears to hear about the sale event deets and early deals. Remember: Amazon Prime Day 2024 was this past July over the course of two days and held the retailer’s usual crowd of major markdowns. It’s now annually been followed by the Prime Big Deal Days in October, which offers equal, if not better, deals.
If July Prime Day was any indication, you can expect to see incredible sales on some of 2024’s most popular brands. Basically, this is your shot to score designer and top brands for way, way less at Amazon (and have it at your doorstep within two days thanks to Prime shipping!) Considering gifting season is soon upon us, you’ll want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to save big on your holiday shopping.
Without further ado, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty.
When is Prime Big Deal Days 2024?
So when exactly is Prime Big Deal Days 2024? The mega-retailer has officially announced that Prime Big Deal Days will take place on October 8 and October 9 of this year.
Prime Day’s 48-hour sale spans across all categories at Amazon, giving shoppers opportunities to save on movies and TV shows, household essentials, big-name beauty brands, and seasonal fashion finds.
What is Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is a savings event that takes place on Amazon.com where Prime members can save big on the majority of top brands. You can sign up for a membership for $139 a year or $15 a month, and opt into a 30-day free trial to see if the membership is right for you. Additionally, Amazon also offers discounted memberships for students for $69 per year with a 6 month free trial.
As we all know by now, you can buy pretty much everything on Amazon, including designer handbags and groceries, so this savings event can save you a lot of money on basically anything you need. Think of it like Black Friday, but explicitly on Amazon and over the course of two days. That said, sales can start as early as a couple of weeks ahead of the actual event, so you could technically start saving right now.
What will be on sale for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2024?
Pretty much everything on Amazon is on sale for Prime Big Deal Days. During the 48-hour sale, lightning deals will occur during specific time frames that don’t last longer than a few hours (or until stock runs out). These are usually the biggest discounts on super popular items, which is why the time these goodies are on sale is so limited. But, you can also find longer-lasting sales going on during Prime Big Deal Days. Usually, brands like Levi’s, Adidas and Apple will have sales happening for the entire two-day extravaganza. And, if you’re looking for electronics, those will likely be on sale during Amazon Prime Day 2024, as well as fashion and beauty products we love.
Per usual, early Prime Big Deal Day’s markdowns begin as soon as a couple weeks out. Keep scrolling to see some early savings to take advantage of right now.

What should I buy during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2024?
During Prime Big Deal Days 2024, you should plan to buy big-ticket tech items (especially with the holiday season coming) as well as stock up on items you use the most to get the most bang for your buck.
We recommend buying Amazon products, like Fire TV Sticks and clothing essentials on Prime Big Deal Days, as well as Apple products and, yes, even items like toilet paper. Usually, grocery essentials like Quest bars or bulk packs of soaps and cleaning supplies are on sale during Prime Day, so if you want to save money on those items, that’s the best time to do so. There are also typically incredible robot vacuum deals, as well as sales for clothing brands like Adidas, Levi’s and Calvin Klein and so many more.
Also, don’t forget about any streaming sales that might be ongoing. For July Prime Day, Amazon offered up some major discounts for its streaming service that included others like Paramount+ and HBO Max, which just might be the case again during this upcoming Prime Day.
How do I get a free Amazon Prime trial?
If you’re on the fence about committing to a year-long membership, but don’t want to miss out on the massive deals to come, Amazon always offers a free Prime trial, which will allow you to participate in Prime Day—and you’ll get access to all of the other benefits. If you decide to extend your trial and become a member (and you probably will) it’s only $139 per year.
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2024 shopping tips to help you prepare:
- Prime members can opt in to receive deal alert notifications based on their most recent Amazon searches and viewed items. Head to the Prime Day landing page on the Amazon Shopping app between now and Prime Day to subscribe to these deal alerts.
- Prime members can also use any of their Alexa-enabled Amazon devices to ask Alexa for deal notifications for products on their Wish List, in their Cart or on their Save for Later List. It’s easy! Simply ask “Alexa, add [product name] to my cart” and then ask Alex to notify you when the deal is live and available to purchase.
- Prime members can additionally receive alerts at the start of Amazon Prime Day 2024 so that they don’t miss a single deal. Just say, “Alexa, set a reminder for Prime Day” so that you can stay on top of the major shopping event.
- Having a Prime membership really opens up your delivery options. You get fast, free delivery on loads of products, per usual, but you can even select the Same-Day Delivery option that’s available to shoppers in more than 90 U.S. metro areas. Another way to get your items fast is by getting free delivery to Amazon Lockers or Counters, or picking a delivery day preference with Amazon Day. The world is truly your oyster when it comes to shipping and delivery options when you’re a Prime member.
What are the best early Prime Big Deal Days deals?
There are some incredible early Prime Day deals already happening. Here’s what you can shop and save on now.
Speaking of popular hair tools, this WavyTalk Thermal Brush has been spotlighted all over TikTok for how bouncy and sleek it can make the hair appear. Its negative ions pose many benefits during use, like sealing the hair cuticle, reducing frizz, and enhancing shine, all without instilling a ton of damage on your hair.
Yep, Amazon carries Coach bags, like this classic polished tote that’s a whopping 24 percent off right now. Expect even more legendary Coach deals to come (but don’t miss out on what’s already available, either!)
Coach’s Tabby bags have been widely coveted over the last couple of years, so the fact that this Barbie pink colorway is down to $243 is kind of a big deal.
Amazon’s fall fashion finds are always booming at the start of September, so if you’re looking for budget-friendly pieces to stock up on, there’s plenty to be had.
LEGO’s 2024 advent calendars may not technically be on sale (yet), but we’d be remiss not to flag they are somehow still in stock. Advent calendars fly off the virtual shelves as soon as they are released, so don’t wait to pick up top-sellers before they’re gone.
Start putting together cozy essentials for upcoming nights in, like this super soft fleece blanket. Once the cold weather hits, you’ll be glad you picked one up.
In case you haven’t heard, Amazon actually carries some high-quality bodysuits (and in bundles!) Pick up this pack of three square neck bodysuits while they’re on sale—you’ll definitely wear them on repeat this autumn.
