What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day 2024: Everything you need to know

Amazon Prime Day is an annual shopping event that has become a genuine rival/alternative to Black Friday, since its inception in the US in 2020. We say this because the deals available through Amazon on Prime Day are some of the best we see all year, meaning it’s one you really want to pay attention to if you want to score big name brands for less.

And, while it may have the singular word ‘Day’ in its title, previous Amazon Prime Day sales have hit nearly three days in length, giving you plenty of time to shop.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2024 in Australia?

The second Amazon Prime Day in Australia kicked off at 00:00 AEST on Tuesday, October 8 and ran until 11:59pm AEST on Sunday, October 13, 2024. It was the longest-ever Prime Day we've seen in Australia, running across six days.

The Prime Day back in July was a massive six-day event as well, running from July 16 to July 21.

Is Prime Day twice a year?

Amazon Prime Day took place twice in 2023 (with Prime Day in July and Big Deal Days in October), and 2024 has followed the same pattern, just with longer sales than in previous years.

Is Prime Day worth it?

We think Amazon Prime Day is absolutely worth it, yes. Based on previous Prime Day sales events we’ve covered in Australia, it’s become clear that it’s one of the best chances to snap up some genuine bargains… But only if you’re a Prime member.

Do I need to be a Prime Member for Amazon Prime Day?

Yep, you do. Prime Day deals are reserved exclusively for Amazon Prime members, but it’s not exactly a bad thing to be a Prime member in our opinion, so if you’ve yet to sign-up, we’d recommend you do so.

An Amazon Prime membership has the added benefits of free next-day delivery on eligible items and access to Prime Video, among others, making it well worth the AU$9.99 monthly fee (or AU$79 annual fee) in our opinion. These prices do represent a slight increase, which occurred in 2023, but we think the inclusions still make it a worthwhile investment.

If you’ve yet to sign-up to Amazon Prime and feel you’d only really want a membership to take advantage of Prime Day deals, then you can sign-up for a free 30-day trial a day or so before it kicks off.

Amazon Prime Day 2024: Our shopping tips

If you’ve been following T3 for some time now, you’re likely already an expert Amazon deals shopper (and we’re proud of you) but if you need a refresh or for the uninitiated, we have some top shopping tips to help you make the most of Amazon Prime Day 2024 in Australia.

1. Sign-up for a free Amazon Prime membership trial

As we’ve already mentioned, Amazon Prime Day deals are exclusive to Amazon Prime members. If you’ve not previously been a Prime member, then we recommend signing up for a free 30-day trial just before the sale kicks off. This way you can take full advantage of Prime Day without the commitment to a full subscription.

2. Make yourself a shopping list

Knowing what you want to buy before Prime Day kicks off can prove to be invaluable in our experience. While it can be fun (for us at least) to click through all the pages of deals during Prime Day, if you have an exact item in mind or at the very least you know which product category you’re interested in, then your Prime Day experience can be simplified. If something you’re after is available in physical stores in Australia, it could be a good idea to go and check it out so you can determine if you actually do want it or not.

3. Keep your eyes peeled for the full event

While it will be all horses out the gate as soon as Prime Day drops in Australia, we have seen some deals being added at later stages throughout the two days in previous years. We therefore recommend you keep checking back regularly, or at least bookmark this T3 page, as we’ll be updating it with what we consider to be the best deals most worth your money.

4. Check prices against other retailers

Just because Amazon will be hogging the limelight during Prime Day doesn’t mean other Aussie retailers won’t be getting in on the sales action. We have occasionally seen others cottoning on to the popularity of Prime Day, and so some price match – or in rare cases, price beat – the prices you see on Amazon. Here at T3 we’ll be sure to price check all the products we feature to make sure you’re getting the best savings.

5. Trust your gut on reviews

Amazon’s review system isn’t very good at filtering out useless and unhelpful feedback. If you head to almost any major product released in the past year, you might see one-star reviews with a single sentence clearly expressing dissatisfaction and nothing else. You may even find "fake reviews" to help deter you from a good product or even steer you towards buying a bad product. If it’s something you truly want and it’s on sale, you can use free services like Fakespot to make sure the user reviews are genuine.
