FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 runs from Tuesday, July 16 at 3 a.m. ET through Wednesday, July 17.
Are there different deals on Prime Day 2?
ZDNET’s deals editor Kayla Solino has the scoop on this. “The answer here is hard to say. It’s a yes but also a no. Invite-only Prime deals — or Lightning deals — may be different each day. Amazon confirmed last month<!–> that new deals may surface as often as every five minutes on the site. But, as always, deals only last as long as Amazon decides, with lighting deals offering a countdown to their expiration and other deals’ longevity depending on how fast products sell out (or don’t). It’s likely that as long as stock remains, many of the deals from Day 1 will remain live for Day 2, including deals on popular Amazon products such as Fire TVs, Kindles, Fire tablets, Echo devices, and more,” she writes in her Prime Day FAQ article.
How did we choose the best Amazon Prime Day deals?
ZDNET is always looking for the best deals so that you don’t have to. We take extensive care in checking which products have the best prices and which are most worthy of your hard-earned money.

We will be checking for Amazon Prime Days deals often both before, during, and after the two-day sale event to bring you the best deals as soon as they’re available.
