Amazon.com Inc. AMZN has officially announced its upcoming “Prime Big Deals Day 2023,” scheduled for Oct. 10 and 11. Here’s everything customers need to know about the event and its significance as the holiday season approaches.

What Happened: This sales event is strategically positioned ahead of the holiday season and allows shoppers to take advantage of discounts and kickstart their holiday shopping.

While Amazon Prime Big Deals Day is a boon for Prime members, it’s worth noting that in the U.S., the membership typically costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. 

However, new subscribers can take advantage of a 30-day free trial just in time for the sale.

Prime members who download the Amazon Photos app and upload a picture by Oct. 7 can receive a free $15 Amazon credit. Additionally, Amazon-branded credit cardholders can get 10% back on Amazon devices purchased between Oct. 2-12. 

Newcomers to Amazon Music Unlimited can enjoy a complimentary four-month subscription while existing subscribers can switch to a family plan for the same duration at the cost of their current individual membership.

Save The Date And Track Deals With Alexa: Users who have an Alexa device at their place can use it to monitor deals and mark their calendars for Prime Big Deal Days. Users can receive advance deal notifications from Alexa, up to 24 hours before the event, for eligible items saved in their wish list or shopping cart.
