Amazon Prime Day 2024 is here. If you don't want to miss out on the best deals of the season, there are a few things you might want to know — now that the ribbon has officially been cut, how long do you have to take advantage of deals before the shopping event ends?
With deals flooding your feed for weeks already, it's easy to get your wires crossed. We've got you covered with the full schedule and details.
Prime Day 2024 is live now. While early birds did get a chance to start saving a week or so ahead of time, Prime Day proper didn't kick off until the wee hours of July 16. The deals run for two full days with new deals dropping as often as every five minutes throughout the event. While most deals that go live on the first day typically hang around through the second, some are time sensitive, like lightning deals that have been fully claimed or a viral item that has sold out.
The 48-hour Prime Day shopping period officially closes at 3:01 a.m. ET (12:01 a.m. PT) on July 18, but some deals tend to linger for days (weeks, even!) after. But again, if you're in the market for a very specific hot ticket item, we recommend grabbing it during the official Prime Day event.
Seriously, what even goes on sale for Prime Day? Everything?
Prime Day is a great time to buy things like Apple products, robot vacuums, fitness trackers, TVs, headphones, and of course, Amazon's own devices. But that doesn't mean you should splurge on something you don't need. And it also doesn't mean every deal is worth it. Need help deciphering what deals are actually worth grabbing?
