What is Amazon's Prime Day?
Prime Day is Amazon's biggest sale of the year. (Even bigger than Cyber Week and Black Friday!) This year, Amazon is hosting their 10th Prime Day sales event for Prime members which falls on July 16th and July 17th, with many deals starting even before that. During the sale, Amazon shoppers can buy kitchen tools, coffeemakers, air fryers, tech, clothing and more on sale at seriously discounted prices. Plus, Prime members will also find timely "Lightning Deals" on specific products throughout each day.
In recent years, Prime Day has become a global event taking place in countries beyond the U.S. including Brazil, Japan, the U.K. and more.
When is Prime Day 2024 and how long does it last?
Amazon Prime Day lasts two full days and is Tuesday, July 16th and Wednesday, July 17th, 2024.

When do Amazon's Prime Day deals start?
Amazon's Prime Day deals usually start before the official start date of Prime Day.

What should you buy during Amazon's Prime Day 2024?
Bestsellers and larger appliances tend to sell out first on Prime Day, so shop those as soon as possible, if you can.

Add them to your cart and buy immediately. They may not be there when you're ready to shop a couple of hours later.
