Amazon’s October Prime Day, known as “Prime Big Deal Days,” is back to kickstart the holiday shopping season early. Scheduled for October 8 and 9, 2024, this fall sale acts as Amazon’s autumn counterpart to the July Prime Day event.

Expect a wide array of tech deals, with discounts of up to 55% on Amazon-branded electronics, plus savings on seasonal clothing and decor. Remember, you’ll need an Amazon Prime membership to unlock these deals, but you can always start a free trial via Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days page.

Amazon is marketing this event as a pre-holiday shopping opportunity, perfect for snagging tech deals ahead of the rush. If you’ve been eyeing Amazon devices, this might be your best chance to get them at a discount.
