What is Amazon Prime Day?
The deal is that Amazon – the huge online store that sells everything on Earth and delivers it right to your front door – has an annual humongous sale every year that’s called Prime Day.
The annual Prime Day online shopping event is a major opportunity to nab some bargains on Amazon, and this year – due to COVID-19 – shopping online is more popular than ever!
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases made through my website (at no cost to the purchaser), and also get the inside skinny on sales and such.
Usually the Prime Day sale is held in the Summer – to help reduce the cost of all of those back to school items.
This year – because most people didn’t go back anywhere – the Prime Day sale is in October, which will be a huge savings for holiday gift and entertaining items.
But you need to be a Prime Member to get the savings. Click the banner below for your free 30-day Trial:

Products all across the Amazon site are discounted for Prime members already, and new product discounts will be added every day.
I’m not a fan of conspicuous consumption, but everyone needs things for their home, their kids – and of course outdoor gear – and I am a big fan of getting quality items that you need at the best possible price!
Prime Day can help you do that.
In support of small businesses during COVID-19 and beyond, Amazon is investing an additional $100 million in special Prime Day and holiday promotional programs.
New on Prime Day 2020
Now through October 12, Amazon will offer a $10 credit to use on Prime Day to members who spend $10 on items sold by select small businesses in Amazon’s store.
Whether you’ve been lusting after a big ticket tech, gear or household item or just want to try some new beauty brands and get the kids’ school stuff at a discount, now would be the time to go for it!
Prime Day in October is also a great opportunity to get your Holiday shopping done early, and at a great price!

Why Is It Called “Prime Day”?
The reason it’s called “Prime Day” is that in order to be eligible for all of the really good deals, is that you have to have an Amazon Prime account.
Fortunately, if you don’t already have one, you can sign up for a Free 30 Day Prime Membership Trial now, use it for the deals and then keep it (or not) after the sale is over.
Your membership will not only let you get the deals on Prime Day, but you’ll also have access to Amazon Prime books, music, photos, next day delivery and other benefits, including access to Prime Video, so it’s worth a try for sure.
All you need is an Amazon account with a valid credit card tied to the account.
Once you sign up, you’ll have access to all the Prime benefits, and the biggest shopping event of the year!

Okay, so once you have a Prime membership, you can access all of the deals – and some have already started!!
This Year Prime Day is Really Two Days
The first Amazon Prime Day, introduced in 2015 to celebrate Amazon’s 20th anniversary, was a one-day-only retail holiday.
This year – like last year – Prime Day will be a 48-hour sale event held on October 13-14, 2020.
It will feature major deals on Amazon devices, as well as over 1 million other deals sitewide – including with all prices exclusive to Prime members.

Some discounts are available throughout Amazon Prime Day, while other “Lightning” deals are usually only for a limited time – sometimes just for a matter of hours – so it pays to get in there early.
Early Deals Are Happening Now
Although Amazon Prime Day 2020 isn’t until October 13 and 14, Amazon has already released a few deals to get you warmed up for the big annual event.
These deals are live right now and available through Prime Day, which ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on October 14.
Remember that you must be a member of Amazon Prime to get the Prime Day deals. If you’re not a member you can sign up for a free trial today that will last you through the sale and beyond.
