When is Prime Day 2023?
Amazon has not yet announced the dates for Amazon Prime Day 2023. It typically occurs in late June or mid-July.
Last year, the event took place from Tuesday, July 12 to Wednesday, July 13. As such, some people are predicting that this year’s event will begin on Tuesday, July 11 and end on Wednesday, July 12. Though in 2021, Amazon chose June 21 through June 22 as the Prime Day sale dates, so it’s worth noting that there can be quite a bit of variation in the sale dates.
Keep checking back to CBS Essentials for the latest updates on the Amazon Prime Day 2023 sale.
Who can participate in Prime Day 2023?
Amazon Prime Day deals have historically been available only to shoppers with an active Amazon Prime subscription. Those who have never been Amazon Prime members can get a 30-day free trial.
An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 per month (plus taxes) or $139 per year. It includes much more than access to Prime Day deals: You get free, two-day shipping on most Amazon products (and free same-day delivery in some areas), access to TV shows and movies on Amazon Prime Video plus special deals at Whole Food Market and more.
