We’ve almost reached the finish line of Amazon’s 48-hour sale, and soon most of the deals will cease to exist. With new deals dropping all the time, the IndyBest team is continuing to seek out the very best savings right up until the very end, with giant cups of coffee in hand.

So far, we’ve spotted the biggest-ever discount on Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 and Ninja’s cult dualzone air fryer. There’s still more to come but, with the sound of Amazon’s deal clock ticking, you might be wondering when the sale will come to an end.

When did Amazon Prime Day 2024 start in the UK?

Amazon kicked off its Prime Day sale on Tuesday 8 October at midnight and you don’t have long to make the most of the deals. It’s a 48-hour event, meaning all the red-tag discounts will go back up in price before you know it.

When does Amazon Prime Day 2024 end?

Amazon Prime Day will end at 11:59pm on Wednesday 9 October. Most of the deals will cease to exist once the clock strikes midnight, so you’d better get your skates on if you’re still having a cheeky browse.

Is Prime Day only for Prime members?

Sadly, yes. Prime Day is a celebration of Amazon’s Prime members, so you’ll actually need to be a Prime member to secure all the deals.  

Amazon Prime costs £8.99 per year or £95 per month. If you’re not already a Prime member, you might be eligible for a free 30-day trial of Prime. It’s only available to Amazon customers who have never been a Prime member before or haven’t been a Prime member in the last 12 months.

If you’re between the ages of 18 and 22, you can also get an even longer six-month free trial, as well as half-price memberships, meaning you’ll pay just £4.49 instead of £8.99 per month. Sign up now before the deals end tomorrow.

Will there be more Amazon sales this year?

We don’t know for certain, but this is likely the last of Amazon’s Prime sales this year, but we do of course have the online giant’s Black Friday event to look forward to.

This year alone, we’ve seen the Amazon Spring Sale in March, which is open to every Amazon customer; the Amazon Prime Day in July; and then this Amazon Big Deal Days Sale now, in October.
