Prime Day is back this July! Amazon’s biggest shopping event of the year is just around the corner, and we’re already keeping an eye out for the best deals for Prime members worldwide.
While Amazon hasn’t officially announced the exact dates yet, we can make some educated guesses based on past events. Here’s what we know so far—plus tips on how to maximize your savings.
When Is Amazon Prime Day 2025?
Historically, Prime Day falls in mid-July and runs for 48 hours, starting on a Tuesday. Looking at previous years, we expect Prime Day 2025 to land on either July 8-9 or July 15-16.
However, Amazon has been known to extend sales beyond two days, so we wouldn’t be surprised if 2025 brings an even longer shopping event. We’ll update this post as soon as Amazon makes an official announcement.
How to Get the Best Prime Day Deals
Since Prime Day is exclusive to Amazon Prime members, you’ll need a subscription to access most discounts. Here’s how to prepare:
– Start a Free Prime Trial – If you’re not a member yet, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial (just time it right so it covers Prime Day).
– Check for Non-Prime Deals – Some lightning deals and limited-time offers may be available to everyone.
– Set Up Deal Alerts – Use the Amazon app to get notifications on price drops for items you’ve viewed or saved.
– Ask Alexa – Say, “Alexa, notify me when goes on sale” to stay updated.
Amazon Prime Membership Costs
– Monthly: $14.99
– Annual: $139 (saves you about $40 vs. monthly)
– Student/Government Discounts: $7.49/month or $69/year
What to Expect During Prime Day 2025
Prime Day is the best time of the year to score deep discounts on:
– Tech: Laptops, tablets, SSDs, smart home devices
– Amazon Devices: Kindle, Echo, Fire TV, Ring cameras
– Home & Kitchen: Appliances, vacuums, storage solutions
– Fashion & Beauty: Big brands at record-low prices
– Gaming: Consoles, accessories, and game deals
Many deals beat Black Friday prices*, so if you’ve been holding off on a big purchase, this might be your chance.
Why Did Prime Day Start?
Amazon launched Prime Day in 2015 to celebrate its 20th anniversary and reward Prime members. Since then, it’s grown into a global shopping phenomenon, with a second Prime Day event often happening in October (Prime Big Deal Days).
