Amazon Prime Day Tech Sale FAQ
What are the best technology brands on Amazon?
AccordionItemContainerButton
Buy products from all major technology brands on Amazon. Amazon’s own brands usually offer the biggest discounts. So keep an eye out for deals on eero, Echo, Fire TV, Kindle, and Ring products. First, you can also find the latest products from Apple, Dyson, Samsung, Beats, Bose, Sonos, Sony, Master & Dynamic, Lenovo, Google Nest, Meta, Fitbit, Therabody, and Microsoft.
However, Amazon has a limited selection of most non-Apple laptops, so if you’re looking to buy a Windows laptop from brands like HP, Dell, Asus, or Acer, you’re better off shopping elsewhere. Probably.
Finally, before you buy any electronics on Amazon, check to see if the item is sold and shipped by Amazon itself, a brand, or an unknown third-party seller (hint: on the product page, check the “Ships from” ” and “seller”). . Avoid third-party sellers whenever possible.
When do Prime Big Deal Days end?
AccordionItemContainerButton
Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will be held on Tuesday, October 8th and Wednesday, October 9th. Just like last year, the sale ends Wednesday at midnight Pacific Time.
Do I need to be a member to shop on Prime Day?
AccordionItemContainerButton
Yes, Amazon created Prime Day as a sale exclusively for Prime members. However, some discounts are available to all shoppers. That said, only Prime members have access to exclusive deals, invite-only deals, and perks like free shipping and free returns (and Prime Video!). Amazon offers 30-day free trials and discounts for students, so new members can usually sign up for free before the sale starts and shop the best Prime Day deals of the year.
Are other retailers offering sales?
AccordionItemContainerButton
Typically, you’d expect to see deals from competitors like Walmart, Target, and BestBuy during this big July sale, but Amazon is often still the place to get the lowest prices you can find before Black Friday. I am.
