Amazon Prime Day 2024, a two-day global shopping event exclusive to Prime members, will take place on July 16 and 17 across over 20 countries.
To access Prime Day deals, an active Amazon Prime membership is required, costing $14.99/month or $139/year in the U.S., or £8.99/month or £95/year in the U.K. New members can sign up for a free 30-day trial, while students and those aged 18-24 can enjoy a 6-month free trial, followed by a discounted rate.
Prime Day offers significant discounts on popular products like vacuum cleaners (Shark, Dyson, Bosch), laptops, coffee machines, wireless headphones, air fryers, tablets, and Amazon's own Fire TV, Kindle, and Echo. Exclusive deals, early access to discounts, and invite-only deals are available for Prime members.
Audible, Amazon's audiobook service, often provides special deals during Prime Day, such as a three-month free trial of Audible Premium Plus for new and eligible returning subscribers, allowing them to get three audiobooks for free over three months.
Leading up to Prime Day, Amazon is offering 15 free games to Prime members, including popular titles like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, across various platforms like the Epic Games Store, Amazon Games App, and GOG, from June 24 to July 26. Amazon also hinted at more offers for Prime members during the Prime Day event itself.
