When and What is Prime Day October?

It’s not long now until the shopping behemoth that is Amazon Prime Day is upon us once again. Starting this Tuesday, October 11th, and lasting 48 hours until the end of Wednesday, October 12th, this is one of the biggest sales events in the calendar year, and a great time to find savings on popular items that you’ve had your eye on. For Amazon, Prime Day is the biggest sales event of the year, even eclipsing the sales from the Black Friday Juggernaut. 

With Prime Day launching soon, what do you need to know beforehand? To begin with, you need to be a Prime Member to make the most of the Prime Day deals, although you can still shop on Prime Day without an active membership, you will miss out on some of the exclusive deals. To get an Amazon Prime Membership, you must sign up for either a free trial (if you don’t already have a Prime Membership) or pay a monthly subscription fee of £7.99 or £79 annually.

Prime Day originally came about in 2015 as an event to mark the 20th anniversary of Amazon and has ballooned in size over the years, also giving Amazon a mid-year sales event outside of Black Friday and the Holiday season. 

More than October Prime Day

Don't forget, it's not just about Amazon October Prime Day! Competitors of Amazon will all be taking the opportunity to jump on this faux holiday sales extravaganza and promote their sales. Companies like Dell, Lenovo, Overclockers, CCL, and Ebuyer have their own sales events that coincide with Prime Day.

We will be researching great deals and bargains to help you save a few pounds (or a few hundred) on PC hardware and peripherals. So If you're looking for a new or second monitor, or those old gaming headphones are looking a little worse for wear then hopefully we've got you covered. 

This page will be updated continuously during the Amazon October Prime Day sales event, so if any new deals pop up they will be listed here. Be sure to check back for any updates. 

Make Sure You’re a Prime Member

To make the most of the Prime Day deals, you have to have an Amazon Prime Membership and you can go about this in two ways:

1. Sign up for a free 30-day trial of Prime 

As long as you're not already a member of Amazon Prime you can try out Prime free for 30-days, but you do have to remember to cancel if you don't want to be charged a reoccurring subscription fee after that period. 

2. Monthly/Annual Subscription 

Currently, a monthly subscription is £7.99 and an annual subscription is £79 for the year. You do get other perks with membership like Prime Video and Prime Music and of course delivery perks.
