You're may still be paying off your credit card bill from July's Prime Day, but Amazon is not done with you yet—an October Prime Day-style sale is around the corner. Here is everything you need to know about the shopping event right before the Black Friday madness.
What is Prime Big Deal Days?
Prime Big Deal Days is the fall version of Prime Day. It's a two-day sale with deals on virtually every category you can think of. While Prime Day is the bigger sale of the two, Prime Big Deal Days has grown since its first iteration back in 2022.
When is Prime Big Deal Days?
Amazon has not said exactly when it will take place in 2024. However, I can give you an educational guest based on what Amazon has done in previous years. Its last two were during the second week of October and between Monday and Wednesday, so Prime Big Deals Days 2024 will likely be Oct. 8 through Oct. 9.
Do you need to be a Prime Member to shop for Prime Big Deal Days?
You will need to be a Prime Member to shop Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, which starts at $14.99 per month. You can see if getting a yearly Prime membership is worth it for you or not, but remember you can always cancel your Prime membership once the sale is over. Keep in mind that Amazon offers free 30-day trials, so you can shop all two days of the event and still get some early Black Friday deals if you time it right.

What can you expect for Prime Big Deal Days?
Prime Day happens in the summer, and you're more likely to see deals on outdoorsy stuff, like gardening equipment, grills, and hot tubs, outside of its usual tech and Amazon device deals. Since Prime Big Deal Days happens in the fall, you can expect more deals on gaming and indoor gym equipment. You can also expect major retailers to have their own competitive sales, the big ones being Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.
Some tips for Prime Big Deal Days
If this will be your first October Prime Day, there are some basic things you need to know about Amazon sales; you can share your Prime membership with family members even if they don't live with you; you can set price alerts for products you want and your Alexa devices can notify you when they go on sale; there are usually some "Invite-Only" deals that you can sign up for; there are tools you can use to see if the deal you're looking at is good or not. But if you only take one bit of advice for shopping on Prime Big Deal Days, let it be this one: don't buy anything you weren't going to buy anyway.
