Reading Time: 6 minAmazon is kicking off the holiday shopping season early with its fall sales event, Prime Big Deal Days, happening next week on October 7–8, 2025. This two-day sale is positioned as a lead-in to Black Friday, giving Prime members a head start on some of Amazon’s best discounts of the year.
Like on Prime Day, not every item will see a deep price cut — but it’s still a prime opportunity to save on travel essentials you've had your eye on.
Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s Prime Big Deal Days, including tips for finding the lowest prices and a look at early deals you can shop now. And if you’re not already an Amazon Prime member — which is needed to snag some deals — you can sign up for a free 30-day trial and get access to all the deals in time for the big event.
Even though Prime Big Deal Days isn't happening until next week, Amazon has already launched some early deals, especially on its own Amazon devices, and new discounts are appearing daily. Some of our favorite travel products are also already on sale.

In addition to discounted pricing, there are a few ways to save even more during Prime Big Deal Days simply by using the right credit card.
Many credit card rewards programs offer special savings at Amazon when you apply just a single point to your purchase.
While we usually recommend saving your points for better value travel redemptions, it's worth using a point (or a few, if required) to pay at Amazon when these deals come around just to reap the savings.
These offers are typically targeted, but there are several available right now that could save you money at Amazon in the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days, if you're eligible.
Currently, folks with an American Express card that earns Membership Rewards points can save as much as 40% off their Amazon purchases, up to a maximum of $60 off.
Not everyone will get the same offer, and some people might not see any offer at all. You can check your personal offer by clicking here.
Discover cardholders have access to a similar offer right now. And while I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Chase will soon join the party soon, we haven't seen an offer from them in quite some time.
To learn more about how these discounts work, make sure to read our guide on how to save money at Amazon using your credit card points.
American Express has a program called Amex Offers, which is a valuable way to save money or earn extra points by activating targeted deals directly from your Amex account.
Just log into the Amex website or mobile app, add an offer to your card, meet the spending requirement for it, and you’ll receive either a statement credit or Membership Rewards points, depending on the promotion.
Right now, there’s a targeted Amex Offer that earns 1,200 bonus Membership Rewards points when you spend $150 at Amazon. Even better, you can do it up to three times and earn up to 3,600 points in total.
And since this offer doesn't expire until October 25th, it's perfectly positioned for your upcoming Prime Big Deal Days purchase.
While pricing is typically competitive during Prime Big Deal Days, you might find that a product isn't actually being sold at the lowest price of the year.
To check the price history of a product, I use the website CamelCamelCamel. Just plug in a product name or Amazon URL, and you'll see the pricing for it over the past year, including the lowest ever price, the current price, and the average price.
With Amazon Prime Big Deal Days less than a week away, I’m looking forward to picking up a few travel items that have been sitting on my wish list. But I also might not go overly crazy, knowing that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are right around the corner. Historically speaking, the deals are usually quite similar — and sometimes even better.
As always, we’ll be scouring Amazon during Prime Big Deal Days to find the best deals on travel gear, and we'll share the standout finds that you won’t want to miss.
