FAQs
When is Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days?
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days (a.k.a. October Prime Day) is a two-day sales event for Prime members. This year, sales are live from Tuesday, Oct. 8, through the end of Wednesday, Oct. 9.
Are other retailers offering deals under $50?
Amazon isn’t the only retailer you can find savings at this time of year. Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and others will all hold competing sales during the same week as October Prime Day (and even before). Shop around the different sites to compare deals and prices.
How did we choose these October Prime Day deals?
As a ZDNET editor, I only write about deals myself or a team member would want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. I looked 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.
I also examined customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals I recommend. These recommendations may also be based on my own testing (or testing by another ZDNET expert) — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
