Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, also called Prime Big Deal Days, is happening now through October 7, according to NBC News. The event features Lightning Deals, which NBC News describes as limited-time, limited-quantity discounts exclusive to Prime members. CNN reports that Lightning Deals are flash-in-the-pan deals shoppable for a set time period or until they sell out. [ 1 , 2 ]
Major outlets are publishing guides to the best deals. CNN Underscored says it will refresh its page every few minutes throughout the sale, and that Lightning Deals are often some of Prime Day’s most appealing bargains. NBC Select says it spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts and only included those that are highly rated, at least 20 percent off, and at their lowest price in at least three months, using price trackers like CamelCamelCamel. NBC News also notes that Prime members can historically find some of the lowest prices of the year during the event. [ 1 , 2 ]
The coverage highlights specific products. NBC Select mentions deals on Samsung, Hexclad, and more, while Wired reports that Yeti coolers and cups are up to $100 off. Wired says the Yeti Tundra Haul is its favorite cooler overall and predicts it will sell out, and notes the eye-popping lime color on sale will likely disappear quickly. CNN mentions past Lightning Deals have included electric toothbrushes, vacuums, and suitcases. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
There is a discrepancy in NBC News’ report: while it states the sale runs through October 7, it also says the Lightning Deals program only runs through June 26. The documents do not resolve this inconsistency. [ 2 ]
