FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 will begin July 16 at 12:01 a.m. PDT and run through July 17.
Are there different deals on Prime Day 2?
Here’s what ZDNET associate editor Kayla Solino has to say: “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.”
Are deals really cheaper on Prime Day?
Deals are typically greater during Prime Day, especially on big-ticket items like TVs, Amazon products, laptops, and more. However, it’s also a great time to score savings on everyday essentials and products. You can also save on deals during other Amazon events, like Prime Big Deal Days in October and the Big Spring Sale in March, but savings often aren’t as steep as during July Prime Day.
How did we choose these Prime Day impulse buy deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Here I’ve deviated a bit from the usual where I recommend gear that I’ve personally had the chance to extensively test and review, and gone for things that I love the look of and could myself be tempted to buy!
I’m comfortable doing this for a number of reasons:
- I’ve gone through the reviews, which allows me to sort the wheat from the chaff.
- A number of the products I recommend are from companies that I’ve dealt with in the past.
- If a product doesn’t meet your needs, Amazon makes it easy for you to return it!
When will these deals expire?
Deals are subject to sell-out or expire at any time, though ZDNET remains committed to finding, sharing, and updating the best product deals for you to score the best savings. Our team of experts regularly checks in on the deals we share to ensure they are still live and obtainable. We’re sorry if you’ve missed out on this deal, but don’t fret — we’re constantly finding new chances to save and sharing them with you at ZDNET.com.
