What Is Prime Big Deal Days?
Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon’s annual fall sale for Prime members.

The sale is a great opportunity to get a head start on your holiday shopping—some of the offers are usually comparable to what you’d see during Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
How Many Times A Year Does Amazon Do Prime Days?
Amazon Prime Day used to be a once-a-year occurrence, but in recent years the retailer has begun hosting a second sale in the fall. Although Amazon doesn’t typically call the October event Prime Day, it’s essentially the same thing—a 48-hour event featuring hundreds of thousands of exclusive deals for Prime members.

Can Everyone Shop October Prime Day Deals?
No. Prime Big Deal Days is meant to be a special perk for Prime members. In order to shop the deals, you have to have a Prime membership. If you’re not a member already, consider signing up for a 30-day free trial now—you’ll be eligible to shop the sale with that.
How Much Is An Amazon Prime Membership In 2024?
An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 per month. You have the option to pay an annual $139 fee, which brings the price down to about $11.58 per month. If you haven’t had an Amazon Prime membership for the past 12 months, you can also sign up for a free 30-day trial period first.
