What is the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale in October?
Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale is an opportunity for members to get a head start on their holiday shopping with exclusive deals across their favorite categories: home, electronics, beauty, Amazon-brand devices (e.g. Kindles and Alexas), and even options for your wedding décor. Additionally, for this October sale, Amazon is introducing a “Top 100s” and “We Love” list with current popular items to narrow your shopping search; the list will be updated throughout the event with bigger discounts. So if you missed out on Amazon’s summer sales, this is one you don’t want to miss.
Those who aren’t Prime members are still able to enjoy the sale and other Prime benefits (free two-day shipping, access to Amazon Music Unlimited, and more) by signing up for a complimentary 30-day trial. Plan ahead of the sale with Alexa deal lists and personalizing your deal alert notifications.
What other brands offer these deals?
While this event is exclusive to Amazon, expect brands across every category to jump in on offering deals, too. Shark, Olaplex, Apple, KitchenAid, Samsung, Philips Sonicare, and Peloton are some must-have brands taking part in the event with discounted prices.
