What is Amazon Prime Day Australia?
The first official Amazon Prime Day kicked off in Australia back in 2018 when the service was first launched here, and has been an annual fixture ever since. The event saw huge sales across shopping categories like home, tech, health, fitness, beauty and more. Since it was such a success the first time around, they bring it back every year. Praise be! It’s the perfect time to grab a bargain on a bunch of products you’ve been eyeing or just spoil yourself because you damn well deserve it.
When is Amazon Prime Day in Australia 2024?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 officially kicks off on Tuesday, July 16 at 12:01AM (AEST) and will run until midnight (AEST) on Sunday, July 21. So you’ve got six days to shop your little heart out.
How do I get access to Amazon Prime Days 2024?
Before you nab any great deals, you’ll need to get yourself a Prime account. It’s free to trial for the first 30 days but will cost you $9.99 per month after the trial’s up. You might even already have one since a Prime subscription includes access to Prime Video, Prime Music and Prime Reading. Plus, once you’re signed up, you get free fast delivery on any items purchased through Amazon.
If you’re not planning on using Prime after the sale is done and dusted, just remember to cancel your subscription ASAP after you’ve milked your free trial for all it’s worth.
You can sign up for a 30-day free trial for Amazon Prime here.
