Amazon's sales events are your chance to grab top tech products at sub-Prime prices, and we're right at the end of one. Amazon's Big Spring Sale, a seven-day shopping event that promises discounts of up to 40% on thousands of items, began last Tuesday and ends at midnight tonight, March 31st. Here's all the inside information you'll need to save big while there's still time.
(Amazon)When Is the 2025 Amazon Spring Sale?
Amazon's 2025 Spring Sale started on March 25th and runs through the end of the month. Discounts went live at midnight Pacific time on Tuesday and expire at midnight tonight. No fooling! You can see all the best deals on our Amazon Spring Sale page.
When Do Spring Sales Really Start?
Although the 2025 Amazon sale began on March 25th, there were discounts to be found before then. We saw pre-game offers hit Amazon last week. Other retailers announced competing sales at the same time, including Best Buy and Walmart. We're covering all of them and comparing prices to ensure you're getting the best possible deal.
What Types of Deals Can I Find in the Amazon Spring Sale?
(PCMag/Amazon)It's Amazon, there's going to be deals on everything. When we covered last year's Spring Big Deal Days, some of the most popular items with PCMag readers were Apple's second-generation AirPods Pro, which are on sale again along with the AirPods 4, a variety of Echo smart speakers, robot vacuums from iRobot and well-reviewed smart TVs from TCL. Amazon sales let big brands drop prices lower than they normally get. Apple's iPads and new MacBook Air models are also seeing a discount.
In a new offer for 2025, the company is giving shoppers 50% off Amazon Haul purchases for a limited time. Amazon Haul is their new budget-friendly niche that's only available on the app and mobile web, where all products are under $20.
Do I Need to Be an Amazon Prime Member to Shop the Deals?
(Amazon)Nope! Unlike Amazon Prime Days, the Spring Sale gives discounts and special offers to all Amazon shoppers. That's not to say that Prime members don't get free shipping and the other perks that come with the service. In addition, Amazon has said that there are special "Prime Spring Deal" badges on exclusive offers for members. If you want to know more about Amazon Prime and whether it's worth the cost, we have an up-to-date rundown here.
How Can I Get a Free Amazon Prime Membership?
You wouldn't be reading this if you weren't interested in saving money, so why not snag an Amazon Prime membership for free before the Big Spring Sale ends? We've written a complete guide to five ways to avoid paying for Amazon Prime, with the most universally useful method being the 30 day free trial for new members. You can cancel at no cost at any time before the 30 days expire, which means free shipping for nothing. Unfortunately, if you've ever had Prime on your Amazon account before, you're not eligible for the offer. If you're enrolled in high school or continuing education, an Amazon Student subscription has the same perks with a six-month free trial at just $69 a year. EBT or Medicaid recipients can also subscribe at a discounted price.
What Are The Best Amazon Spring Sale Deals to Shop Right Now?
(PCMag/Amazon)You bet there are. We've been compiling the best Amazon spring sale deals all week, and here are some of our top picks from The Best Last-Minute Deals From Amazon's Spring Sale: Laptops, Earbuds, Speakers, & More.
This LG display uses Quantum Nano-Emitting Diode technology with tiny semiconductor nanocrystals for incredible color accuracy and brightness. The QNED80T is an entry-level set with some very nice features, including AI upscaling and Alexa-powered voice control.
We gushed over the second-generation AirPods Pro in our review, giving them an Editors' Choice award for their cutting-edge noise cancellation and exceptional sound quality. The refreshed earbuds have a ton of new features like personalized volume modes, gestural Siri controls to let you make calls and more on your phone, and even the ability to be used as hearing aids. Amazon has them at a really nice 20% discount.
The Amazon Fire 7 is an ultra-budget tablet for easy access to all the e-books, movies, TV shows and more in Amazon's ecosystem. In our review, we said that casual users can get a lot of value from the Fire 7, with improved specs and battery life from the last model and expandable storage. For an entry-level tab, you're not likely to find a deal this good anywhere else.
This is the lowest price we've seen in 30 days for this midrange gaming laptop we said "packs serious processing chops" in its bulky frame in our review, with an impressive component loadout and a very nice 16" screen.
Beats makes a ton of different audio gadgets, including headphones and Bluetooth speakers. We reviewed the Beats Pill and it got an Editors' Choice award, thanks to its well-balanced sound with deep bass and crisp highs, durable construction and the ability to use the USB-C port for lossless audio. Battery life is impressive, with up to 24 hours of play time (not at full volume, though), and quick charging. Right now it's 33% off during the Big Spring Sale.

How Long Will Amazon's Spring Sale Deals Last?
Last year's Spring Sale lasted six days, but 2025 sees that expand to seven, with the final day being today, March 31st. That means the company doesn't have to run a deals event on April Fool's Day, which can cause confusion. That said, sometimes deals do straggle on for a few days, and we typically keep up a listing of sale items for a little while after the event officially ends, along with a selection of the most popular items we saw discounts on for late shoppers.
