According to the Amazon page, the event will run “between October 11, 2022 at 12:00 AM PT and October 12, 2022 at 11:59 PM PT.”
So is this really Prime Day 2? The short answer is yes, but also no.
What to expect from the Prime Early Access Sale
We’ve been hearing about a second Prime Day-style event for months now, with Insider magazine reporting back in July that Amazon was planning a “high velocity” sales event to pre-empt the usual Black Friday and Cyber Monday shenanigans.
It’s highly unlikely that this second event will be as big a deal as the main Prime Day, which ran for two days this summer. There are only so many big sales events that brands will want to discount for, and only so much money we can spend – especially in the current climate. But a Prime-focused sales event with the usual heavy discounting on Amazon own-brand and owned-brand products, smart home products, entertainment devices and kitchen kit seems likely.
One thing that is clear, though, is that like Prime Day you’ll need to have a Prime subscription to take part – and that could be a problem if you signed up for a free trial in the summer and then cancelled it again. Prime free trials are only available to people who haven’t had a free trial in the previous 12 months, so if that’s you you’ll need to pay for a month’s access to take part in the Prime Early Access event.
