Amazon makes drastic change to this year's Prime Day that will benefit bargain shoppers
Here's a primer on the upcoming Amazon deals. Amazon's Prime Day is about to get even bigger — and bargain hunters will soon have a whole lot more time to score incredible deals. For the first time, Amazon is extending its highly anticipated shopping event from two days to four. Amazon Prime Day deals will now be offered for four days this summer. TIkTok/@amazon The 2025 Prime Day will begin at 12:01 am PDT on July 8 and run through July 11. This is the event's first change since 2017, when the annual summer sale increased from one day to two. Amazon's Prime Day has long been a fan favorite for online shoppers with its steep discounts on everything from high-tech gadgets to household essentials. No matter what you're stocking up for, with more days to shop and an even broader selection, shoppers are sure to find something they want for cheap. This year's sale kicks off on July 8. Christopher Sadowski 'With an extended 4-day event, our Prime members will have more time and flexibility to conveniently shop, while enjoying exclusive deals and incredible savings,' an Amazon spokesperson told the Daily Mail. The move comes at a time when inflation and economic uncertainty have made consumers more likely to pinch their pennies. The extended day sale will allow customers to take their time before pulling the trigger on a major buy. TIkTok/@amazon Having more time to pull the trigger on an Amazon purchase allows shoppers to take a strategic approach to their purchases. And extending the sale isn't the only change Amazon has announced for this sale. This year's Prime Day will introduce 'Today's Big Deals,' a daily themed deal drop that features some of the event's most exciting savings. Shoppers can expect exclusive discounts on items in all categories that Amazon sells, with new deals launching daily at midnight PDT. The event that takes place across 20 countries, including the U.S., the UK, Germany, Japan, and Australia — is only for Prime members. This is a situation where, sometimes, an annual fee ends up saving you money in the long run. This year, Amazon is upping its game with new AI-powered shopping tools that make it easier than ever to track deals. Prime members can use Amazon's generative AI assistant, Rufus, to find personalized recommendations based on their shopping interests. Whether you're an Amazon veteran or a newcomer, Prime Day 2025 promises to be one for the books — the only product they used to sell.

Here's when Amazon Prime Day is taking place this year
Amazon Prime Day is the yearly extravaganza where Amazon chucks out stacks of deals. And to mess with us a little, in 2025 Amazon isn't doing it for just 24 or 48 hours as we'd expected. Instead, it'll be taking place over four whole days. The huge 96-hour event kicks off on 8 July at 00.01 and runs through to 23.59 on 11 July offering products at up to 50% off. It'll be interesting to see if Amazon can sustain the deals across four days. I think it will be somewhat difficult and we'll probably see most deals drop on Tuesday 8 July, with more kicking in later on the Thursday or even first thing on the Friday for the final 24 hours. Prime Day will obviously take place at slightly different times in the US and UK due to time differences but will start and end at midnight within each time zone. There will be some early deals starting next week. Amazon says we can expect tech deals on top brands such as Bose, De' Longhi, Dyson, Shark, Ninja and Sonos and well as others including Lego – of course the deals won't be limited just to tech. To take advantage of any deals during Prime Day, you will need to be a member of Amazon Prime or be on a 30 day trial when you first sign up. Not a Prime member yet? Get that free thirty-day trial now and you'll still be signed up during the Prime Day event. You can cancel after the 30 days easily. It's not unusual to see better deals on Prime Day than Black Friday and there are always some tasty offers about. However, there's a lot of other, not so good deals. So we'll be on hand to show you the top Prime Day tech deals, enabling you to safely ignore the other rubbish. New for this year, Amazon is introducing Today's Big Deals, featuring daily themed deals. There will also be limited-time 'New Deal Drop' deals launching at midnight every day throughout the event. Prime Day is taking place in all the key Amazon territories across the globe: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the US and the UK. The event will be coming to South America, the Middle East and India later in the summer, specifically Brazil, Egypt, India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Amazon's suggestions to get ready for Prime Day Ask Rufus, Amazon's AI shopping assistant, specific questions about Prime Day and receive tailored deal recommendations. Discover the right deal with personalised deal recommendations including 'recommended deals for you', 'deals related to your lists', '4+ star deals for you' and 'deals related to items in your cart'. Make life easier with fast, free delivery on millions of items included with a Prime membership and choose the delivery option that best suits your needs during Prime Day.
