Amazon Prime Day 2023 (opens in new tab) is expected to takes place this summer. Although Prime Day’s date has yet to be confirmed, Amazon’s annual shopping bonanza typically occurs during the second or third week of July.
Outside of the Black Friday-Cyber Monday weekend, Prime Day is one of the most anticipated savings events for frugal shoppers. Prime Day offers a smorgasbord of Black Friday-worthy deals on just about everything including laptops, tablets, and peripherals. Each year, we’ve seen fantastic deals on today’s best mobile tech and we expect more of the same this year.
If you’re on a budget, during Prime Day you’ll find great deals on big ticket items and back-to-school essentials. Prime Day is like Black Friday in July — one of the best times of the year to get the best discounts. Amazon competitors, Best Buy, Target and Walmart typically stage similar sales event alongside Prime Day. In fact, in some instances, Prime Day deals undercut or match prices we typically see on Black Friday.
Although the next Prime Day’s date is still up in the air, one thing’s for sure — it will be here before we know it. Until then, here’s a few things you might want to know about Prime Day and what to expect.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day was created on July 15, 2015 to celebrate Amazon’s then 20th anniversary. For 24 hours, Amazon rolled out exclusive Prime member-only deals on a range of products from every category.
The first Prime Day proved to be so successful for Amazon, that it made Prime Day an annual tradition. Throughout the years, Amazon expanded the holiday to numerous countries.
Are Prime Day deals for everyone?
While anyone can shop Amazon’s Prime Day deals, Prime members get the best Prime Day discounts and special offers. Some of the benefits of being a Prime member include early access to Prime Day deals and exclusive Prime member-only deals.
Last year, Prime members got to snag early deep discounts on Amazon hardware and Nintendo Switch game deals before Prime Day started. We predict Prime Day 2023 to slash as much as 50% off Amazon devices and set unprecedented price lows.
When in Amazon Prime Day?
The official date of Amazon Prime Day is unknown, however, Prime Day 2022 ran from July 12-13. Our Prime Day 2023 prediction guesstimates this year’s sale will takes place on July 11-12. Although Prime Day 2022 exact start date is unknown, we expect Amazon to make an announcement as we get closer to its big summer sale.
And just like previous years, Prime Day 2022 is likely to run for 48 hours with early access deals for Prime members. In the spirit of competition, expect big box retailers like Best Buy, Target and Walmart to roll out generous Prime Day alternative deals to take some of the attention off of Amazon.
