When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?

Amazon hasn't announced the date for Amazon Prime Day 2024 yet, but we fully expect that it will be in July as usual. Our best prediction based on the dates of previous sales is that the two-day sale will take place on July 9 - 10.

We'll listen out for more news and announcements over the coming months and be back to update this page as soon as we get any new information.

How do I become an Amazon Prime member?

You need to be an Amazon Prime member to access all Prime Day deals. A subscription costs $14.99 per month or $139 for a year.

If you haven't signed up before then new subscribers can get a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to buy the member-exclusive deals. The free trial also lets you try out all the other membership benefits, including free shipping, access to Prime Video and much more. 

You can read our Amazon Prime review for full coverage of what you get as part of a membership. That can help you decide if you want to cancel Amazon Prime once your free trial has ended to avoid being charged the monthly fee.

What are the best Amazon Prime Day deals?

The majority of the best Prime Day deals are on Amazon products The retailer always discounts these products to their lowest prices during Prime Day – even cheaper than we see on Black Friday – which makes it a great time to buy a Fire TV, Kindle, Echo Dot, Fire Tablet and so on.

There are also hundreds of deals in all of the retailer's most popular categories, too, such as TVs, laptops, appliances, smart home tech, gaming, fashion and more. Depending on the product, you can often pay the lowest price that year during Prime Day, though some of the biggest savings are held back for Black Friday in November.

No matter what it is you're after, we search through the full sale to bring you all the best Amazon Prime Day deals right here so you can be sure you won't miss out on a bargain.

Will there be a Prime Day in October 2024?

Amazon has also run a Prime Day in October in the last two years, so will it run another in 2024? While nothing has been announced, we are confident there will be a second Amazon Prime Day in October. It's been relatively successful as it's an ideal preview for the retailer's Black Friday deals in November, so it's very likely that Amazon will hold it again in 2024.

Bose 700 Noise Cancelling Headphones: was $379 now $279 at Amazon
The Bose 700 are five years old but are still the best active noise-cancelling headphones you can buy for noise nixing alone. Is this the best-ever price? No: but it's damn close as they only hit $269 once in December of 2022. But, honestly, the Bose 700 are becoming harder to get hold of, and deals are rare as pirate sea glass anyway, so this is a deal to snap up now.

Sony a7 II with 28-70mm lens: was $1,682.09 now $998 at Amazon

That's an absolute steal for what is still an excellent 24MP stills shooter, which introduced the world's first 5-axis in-body stablization in a full-frame camera, even if its video spec is looking a little dated now.
