When does the Black Friday sale take place at Amazon?

Currently, Amazon has not yet announced any dates for its Black Friday sales. However, the online retailer has historically launched its official sales about seven days before Black Friday, which falls on November 29th this year. Following the same pattern, the Black Friday sale 2024 on Amazon is expected to start around November 22nd. It's also worth noting that October's Prime Day sale (October 8th and 9th) marks the informal start of the holiday shopping season on Amazon, and we've had plenty of excellent early bird discounts since then.

However, the savings will continue long after November 29th. The Black Friday sale continues straight into Cyber ​​Monday on December 2nd, where you'll likely see many of the same discounts and maybe even some new deals. It's also possible that some of these deals will remain available as “Cyber ​​Week” deals in the days following Cyber ​​Monday.

What kind of Black Friday deals will there be on Amazon?

Amazon is keeping quiet about which items we'll see on sale for Black Friday this year. However, from previous experience, we know that the online retailer will be offering discounts across a range of categories including tech, homeware, fashion, fitness equipment, toys and more. There will be plenty of deals on gadgets and electronics, including some at record low prices Amazon-owned devices like Echo speakers and Fire tablets.

Do I need a Prime membership to shop Amazon's Black Friday sale?

No, a Prime membership is not required to shop Amazon's Black Friday sale. However, there will be some offers and discounts that are only available to those who have a Prime subscription. A standard Prime membership costs $15 per month or $139 for the year, but there is one 30-day free trial for new subscribers, which is a great way to get additional savings.
