Looking to buy something on Amazon? We recommend waiting a little longer.
Amazon has confirmed that its first big sales event of the year, known as ‘Spring Deal Days’ in the UK, will take place from March 25-30, 2024. In the US, the event is called ‘Big Spring Sale”, but works at the same time.
That means six full days of deals in both countries, with offers starting at 12:01 a.m. on March 25 and ending at 11:59 p.m. on March 30
And unlike Prime Day, you don’t need to be a Prime member to access all the deals. If you don’t want to pay for an Amazon subscription, this will be the best time to purchase products from the retailer outside of Black Friday.
Prime members will have access to “exclusive and exciting offers”, although Amazon did not specify what these were.
There’s a 30-day free trial if you’ve never signed up before, after which it costs £8.99/$14.99 per month or £95/$139 if you pay annually. However, there are plenty of other benefits, including free next-day delivery and access to the Prime Video streaming service.

Which technology products will receive a discount?
Amazon has already highlighted specific deals on its own devices in the UK, with up to £50 off the latest Echo Show 5 and Echo Show 15, as well as up to 48% off Fire tablets and up to 42% off Fire TV devices. You can also expect money back on Ring and Blink home security devices.

On Amazon Prime Video, select movies and TV shows will be available at discounts of up to 50%, including The Equalizer 3, Trolls Band Together, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, and The Good Doctor Season 6.
These will be available to everyone, but some films will only be able to be rented for £1.99 by Prime members. A three-month free trial of Amazon Music Unlimited and three months of Audible for 99p are also available to new customers.
Details are vaguer when it comes to third-party appliances, although major appliances, floor care, electric cookware, and appliances are all set to be included.
