What We Love About Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale
Without question, we’re drooling about the deals on the best tech gadgets, appliances, and home goods that have proven to garner the deepest discounts with past Prime Day events. For this particular sales event, however, it looks like the retail giant will be curating its Top 100 list with some of the season’s best gift ideas.
Similar to previous Prime Day shopping events, you can very well expect discounts north of 50% off on key Amazon devices. Amazon’s Echo smart speakers, Echo Show smart displays, Fire TVs, and Fire tablets are just a few of the top electronics to keep an eye out on. You also can’t forget about the many sub-brands, like Blink and Ring, who are under the Amazon umbrella and will surely have equally good discounts for shoppers.
Of course, you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member in order to get access to these exclusive deals. If you’re already one, you’re in luck because you don’t have to wait until October 11 for the deals to roll in. That’s because it looks like there will be exclusive Prime member deals starting today.
“We are so excited to help Prime members kick off the holiday season with Amazon’s new Prime Early Access Sale — an exclusive opportunity for members to get deep discounts on top brands we know they are looking for this time of year,” explained Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime. “And members can start enjoying exclusive Prime benefits and offers now, plus find gift ideas for the family with our holiday gift guides and this year’s Toys We Love list.”
