Prime Big Deal Days is just around the corner, and you’ll need an Amazon Prime account to take advantage of the best deals.

Amazon hosts its yearly event, referred to as Prime Big Deal Days, which acts as the October Prime Day. It kicks off on Oct. 7 and wraps up on Oct. 8. In contrast to the standard Prime Day that ran from July 8 to 11, this event is more concise, featuring a mere 48 hours of deals. Nonetheless, millions of offers are anticipated from Amazon during this time. Access to these deals requires a Prime membership.

For those who are not Prime members or wish to reactivate their account, a free 30-day trial is available for signing up, granting entry to the sale. You can cancel before the trial concludes to avoid any charges. Students and individuals aged 18 to 24 can register for a free 6-month trial.
