Amazon's Prime "Day" is now officially a bi-annual event. The company today confirmed that it will host a second deals event for Prime members on Oct. 10-11.
Smack dab between Prime Day 1.0 and this year's other major shopping holiday—Black Friday—Amazon will hold Prime Big Deal Days next month, beginning at 3 a.m. ET on Oct. 10 and running through Oct. 11. The name seems to be a nod to the fact that these sales are no longer one-day events, but multi-day deal extravaganzas looking to entice those eager to get a head start on their holiday shopping.
As usual, you'll need to be a Prime member in one of 19 countries to save: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, the US, and the UK.
Last year was the first time Amazon expanded Prime Day savings to a second event in the fall, which it called the Prime Early Access Sale. Judging by that event, discounts on Prime Big Deal Days may not be as plentiful as those we saw on Prime Day in July, but there should be some excellent second chances for those who missed out over the summer.
It’s also a great time to save big on Amazon’s own brand of devices like Ring, Blink, Eero, and iRobot Roombas. But look for deals on Samsung, Sony, LG, Apple, Asus, and Shark, too.
We'll keep you posted as Amazon reveals more details about its Prime Big Deal Days (or Prime Day 2.0, if you prefer). If you're not yet a Prime member, Amazon offers new users a 30-day trial.
