We’re used to hearing Prime Day, singular, even though that event goes on for more than a day. Prime Big Deal Days is more direct with the plural. It starts on Oct. 8 starts at 12:01 a.m. PDT on Tuesday and ends at 12:00 a.m. PDT on Oct. 9.Membership Has Its Privileges
Prime Big Deal Days deals are for Prime subscribers, which you might think are only those who spend $139 on a yearly Prime subscription. But if you want access to Prime Big Deal Days discounts without committing that much cash to Amazon, you can sign up for a monthly membership for $14.99 and then cancel it once Prime Big Deal Days has passed.
There’s also a 30-day free trial for first-time subscribers, so if you qualify, you can get all the deals and pay nothing for the membership if you cancel within a month.
There are other ways to save on a Prime subscription. Students can get a membership for $69 per year or $7.49 per month. Anyone receiving Medicaid, EBT, or other government assistance might qualify to pay $6.99 per month.
If you know someone with Prime who doesn’t mind sharing, they can add you to their account via Amazon Household. Your profiles and purchase histories will remain separate, but payment information is available to both parties—so if you’re doing this, make sure you trust the other party with your credit card details.Make Your Money Make Money
