Amazon Prime Day 2024: second sale announced for October
Amazon has confirmed our suspicions and recently announced that it will hold another Prime Day sale later this year in October called Prime Big Deal Days. Details are fairly thin in the press release as there isn’t even a mention of the actual sale dates, but based on when last year’s event took place, it’s most likely to be on October 8 – 9. We’ll share all the latest news and announcements right here as soon as we hear anything new.

From what we know about the previous Prime Big Deal Days sale, though, you can consider this as early access to Amazon’s Black Friday deals. The year’s biggest sales event doesn’t technically take place until November, but it starts earlier and earlier every year now to stretch over weeks instead of a single day.
The offers should effectively be re-run of what we saw in the earlier Prime Day sale, so you can expect some of the year’s lowest prices on Amazon devices such as the Kindle, Echo Spot, Echo Show, Fire TVs and more. That’s on top of big savings across the retailer’s biggest shopping categories, including TVs, headphones, laptops, appliances, clothing, health and beauty, and gaming.
You can stick with us for all the best Prime Day deals once the second sale starts later this year in early October. Until then, be sure to check in regularly for all the latest news, rumours and expert buying advice.
