When does Prime Minister’s Day in October end? Shop now before Amazon’s 48-hour sale ends

Amazon hosts several major shopping events each year, the biggest being Amazon Prime Day.

July’s event was one of the most successful, according to TechCrunch, and we’re guessing October’s Prime Day, which takes place on October 8 and October 9, 2024it will be no different.

Prime Day usually takes the same format every year: two full days of discounted deals for Prime members—which is just one of the many benefits of being a member.

It might seem like common sense to assume that July Prime Day and October Prime Day start at midnight and last a full 48 hours, but it’s important to remember that the sale takes place on Pacific Time.

Some offers during the shopping event are Lightning Deals: a promotion in which a limited number of discounts are offered on an item for a short period. These are one per customer and last until the end of the promotional period for the deal GOLD until all agreements are sought.

You can keep an eye on upcoming deals by visiting the Prime Day page and selecting “view this deal.”
