Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next Prime Day?

The next Prime Day sale event – officially known as Big Deal Days – will start on October 8 and run until October 9. Like the July sale, you can expect hundreds of great deals on everything from tech to furniture and appliances, with most discounts exclusive to Prime members.

The Meta Quest 3S is still in its pre-order period, and the Quest 3 recently received a significant price drop, so it’s hard to know if Amazon will further discount the devices once sales go live. The Meta does its own thing during Prime Day, but at the very least, you can expect many of the best MetaQuest accessories to get big discounts during the sale.

Do I need to be a Prime member to shop on big deal days?

Yes, most of the discounts featured during Big Deal Days will be for Prime members only. If you haven’t joined yet, the good news is that Amazon offers one. 30-day free trial So you can explore all the benefits of Prime membership for one month without paying a penny.
