Now, it’s official: Amazon's Prime Day will be held July 16-17.
“Prime Day is a celebration of the value we bring to members all year long, and features millions of deals across more than 35 product categories as well as discounts on Amazon devices, quality entertainment, groceries, travel, and more during the event,” said Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime.
“In fact, over the course of the last year, Amazon customers saved nearly $24 billion from deals and coupons – with Prime members enjoying the vast majority of those savings – including over $2.5 billion during Prime Day 2023.”
