Is this different to Prime Day?
It’s basically the same but takes place in October Vs Prime Day which takes place in July. The event kickstarts at 00:01 on 10th October and ends 23.59 BST on 11th October.
What is included this year?
Sadly we cannot say until the day, however, Amazon say they will offer their lowest prices this year on select products from Barbie, Samsung Mobile UK, Sony, Western Digital & Xiaomi across the two day Prime Member exclusive event, they’ve also confirmed deals on brands like Bose, Shark, Oral B and Fitbit, as well as a wide selection of discounts from small businesses across the UK
Get your Prime Membership Sorted
Firstly, get your Prime membership sorted well in advance. This is essential since Amazon Prime Big Deal Days are exclusively for Amazon Prime members. If you’re not a member, you can often sign up for a free trial, which usually lasts 30 days.

Prepare a Wish List
Secondly, prepare an Amazon wish list. Amazon allows you to create multiple lists where you can add the items you’re interested in. As Prime Day approaches, keep an eye on these items and see if their prices drop. This way, you’re not buying on impulse but securing deals on items you actually want or need.
Potentially create a Baby Wishlist if you’re buying for a child (for a possible 15% off)
Don’t overlook the Lightning Deals and Deal of the Day offers
These are time-sensitive and stock-limited deals that can offer substantial discounts, just be careful as some are often at these prices. These items often sell out quickly, so if you see something you want, don’t hesitate too long. See all Lightning Deals and Deals of the Day

Ensure your Subscribe and Save account is ready
Lastly, to really stretch your pound, look into ‘Subscribe & Save‘ options for products you use regularly and ALWAYS ensure you have at least 5 products being delivered to maximise your discount to up to 15% off, Amazon sometimes stacks this discount on top of the already reduced Prime Day prices.
Keep an eye on voucher codes and coupons
These can sometimes be applied even on Prime Day specials.
