MORE FROM FORBES VETTED The Best Folding Chairs That Allow You To Sit Just About Anywhere By Camryn Rabideau Contributor The Best Alarm Clocks To Create A More Peaceful Sleep Routine By Rebecca R. Norris Contributor What Is Amazon Prime Day? Amazon Prime Day started in July of 2015 as a one-day sale event intended to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary.

It has since morphed into an annual two-day affair in which Amazon offers major discounts across all of its product categories. Last year, the e-tailer introduced its Prime Early Access Sale in October (which many people referred to as a second Prime Day). We wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon makes it a tradition and hosts another Prime event later this year.

When Is Amazon Prime Day 2023? Prime Day 2023 will kick off at 3 a. m. EDT on July 11 and extend through 3 a.

m. EDT on July 13. That means that just like in years past, you’ll have only two days to shop the millions of discounts.

How Many Times A Year Is Prime Day? Technically, Prime Day only happens once a year. But last year, Amazon ran a second Prime Day-like sale in October. Time will tell whether 2022 was a special year or the beginning of a series of bi-annual sales going forward.

What Will Be On Sale During Amazon Prime Day 2023? While we don’t know exactly what will be on sale during this year’s Prime Day, we can definitely make some predictions based on years past. We’ll likely see major markdowns on electronics like AirPods and Amazon devices , kitchen gadgets like the InstantPot , robot vacuums, beauty tools, pantry staples, fashion must-haves and more. As Prime Day draws closer, Amazon will likely release more details on what deals you can expect.

And for now, you can check out its early deals if you’d like to get a head start on shopping. Do You Need A Prime Membership To Shop Amazon Prime Day? Yes, Amazon’s Prime Day sale is only open to Prime members. If you’ve never had a membership, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial in order to shop the savings event.

Just keep in mind that after those 30 days are up, you’ll automatically be charged the monthly membership fee. If your partner or a family member already has a Prime membership, you can also look into whether you’re eligible to join their Amazon Household , which allows you to enjoy Prime benefits without paying for your own separate membership. How Much Is An Amazon Prime Membership In 2023? An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.

99 per month, or $139 per year ($11. 58 per month) if you opt to pay annually. With your membership, you’ll get perks like free one- and two-day shipping on most items, access to Prime Video TV shows and movies, exclusive deals, unlimited photo storage and more.

If you’re a college student, you can get a 6-month free trial followed by a discounted rate of $7. 49 per month as long as you’re in school. What Are Invite-Only Prime Day Deals? This year, Amazon is introducing a new type of Prime Day discount: invite-only deals .

Invite-only Prime Day deals are offers that are expected to sell out, so Amazon is asking shoppers to request invitations to access them. You can request an invitation any time before Prime Day and if you’re selected, you’ll get an invite on July 11 or 12 that will allow you to score your chosen product at its deal price. Check out this page to see some of the invite-only deals that are available.

Can You See Prime Day Deals In Advance? Unfortunately, no. Besides the new invite-only deals, Amazon doesn’t tell shoppers what will be on sale ahead of Prime Day. You’ll have to wait until the sale starts at 3 a.

m. EDT on July 11 to see exactly what’s discounted. That said, there are some pretty impressive early Prime Day deals that are already live if you’re eager to get a head start on shopping.
