FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day takes place Tuesday, July 16, through Wednesday, July 17, but you can expect to find deals before and after the event.
Are products really cheaper on Prime Day?
Prime Day sales prices tend to be some of the lowest of the year, aside from the Black Friday shopping weekend. This is especially true for Amazon devices like Kindles, Fire tablets, Fire TVs, Amazon Echo devices, etc. According to one study, the average Amazon Prime Day discount is 16.2%, which is fairly good for most products.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy – devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts look for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also look over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing – in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
Are there different deals on Prime Day 2?
The answer is yes and no. Deals come and go throughout the two days of Prime Day-even after the event, you will still see some deals lingering, albeit not as high of a dollar amount in savings. However, we recommend that if you see something on sale during Prime Day you are eyeing, buy it now because you never know when the deal will expire (especially if it’s a lightning deal or a deal on a popular brand).
