Amazon
Amazon is having another Prime Day-like sales event this October, and the dates have finally been announced so we can get our shopping lists ready. Like last year’s Prime Big Deal Days event, we expect plenty of great discounts across popular shopping categories such as tech, home and more.
Read on to learn everything we know about Amazon’s fall Prime Day so far, like when it’s happening.
What are Prime Big Deal Days?
Prime Big Deal Days is like another Amazon Prime Day, but in the fall. (The regular Prime Day occurs mid-July every year.) Think of it as the unofficial start to the 2024 holiday shopping season, or Amazon’s early version of Black Friday.
Like Prime Day, Prime Big Deal Days lasts two days and features deals across a variety of the brand’s shopping categories, including fitness, home, tech and much more. Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon’s second biggest sales event of the year (the first is Prime Day, of course), so we expect the deals to be among the best the retail giant has to offer.
When is Prime Big Deal Days 2024?
Amazon has announced that Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will be held on October 8 and 9, 2024.
Do you need to be a Prime Member to shop during Prime Big Deal Days?
Yes. Like Prime Day, the best deals at the Prime Big Deal Days sales event will be exclusive to Amazon Prime members.
Don’t have Prime? We highly encourage you to try the service. In our opinion, Amazon Prime is worth it. Amazon Prime is popular for a reason — not only do you get fast free shipping (two-day, one-day or even same-day shipping, depending on the products ordered), but you also get access to Prime Video, where you’ll find a plethora of award-winning movies and TV shows, “Thursday Night Football,” discounts at Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh, free Kindle downloads and more.
If you’ve never tried Amazon Prime before, the retailer will likely offer you a 30-day free trial to test out the service (your trial offer may differ). And if you’re a college student or a shopper between the ages of 18 and 24, you can try out Prime for six months free, then afterward pay a discounted rate of $7.49 per month.
An Amazon Prime membership is $14.99 per month or $139 per year if you choose to pay annually (the monthly rate for that is about $11.50). But right now, Amazon is offering a special Prime deal: You can get three months of Prime for just $7.49.
What can you expect to be on sale during Prime Big Deal Days 2024?
If last year’s sale is any indication, you’ll find great deals on Christmas gifts and seasonal decor at Prime Big Deal Days 2024. Also expect to find deals on Halloween costumes, goods for your home, the hottest tech of 2024, viral faves and more.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days isn’t here yet, but there are already some great deals to shop at Amazon now. Check them out below.
JBL Tune Flex: 50% off
Amazon
If you plan on taking calls while out and about, take the JBL Tune Flex buds with you. These sweat-proof and water-resistant headphones have everything you need for a smooth, hassle-free conversation when you leave the house.
These small but mighty buds use 12-millimeter drivers atop the same stick form factor as Apple AirPods, but they slide into your ears a bit more readily. They deliver loud, pumping bass and treble you can feel, as well as clear-sounding voices for calls and other types of media.
They do offer noise cancellation with two microphones to help improve how much sound is blocked out, with an ambient mode to let important sounds in. There’s also the interesting “TalkThru” feature, which mutes everything in the background for you to take a call if you happen to need to jump on the phone.
They’re equipped with four microphones, too, so no one has to keep asking you what you said again and again. The “VoiceAware” feature even lets you choose how much of your voice you hear in the buds, a feature rarely seen even in higher-priced options.
With a promised 32 hours of battery life, you can chat the day away. Just charge the buds up for 10 minutes to get two more hours of playtime.
These earbuds are currently just $50, reduced from $100.
