    Amazon’s best October Prime Day deals under $50
    • October 10, 2023

    Prime Big Deal Days is here

    It’s been a long wait since July’s big Prime Day sale, but it’s finally time for another round of major discounts in the form of Prime Big Deal Days. There are plenty of big deals for expensive and popular items such as Roombas and security systems, but don’t sleep on the sales of items under $50. You can snag plenty of nice new clothes for example, or new Amazon Echo devices including the Echo Pop. You do need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of these deals, though, but that’s a breeze to sign up for.

    How to sign up for Amazon Prime

    Signing up for Amazon Prime is a two-step process.

    [ Amazon is already rolling out early deals for October Prime Day ]

    Creating a free Amazon account

    First, you need to create a free Amazon account. You might already have one if you’ve ever ordered anything from Amazon before, as a free account is required to save your shipping address and billing information, plus your order information and history.

    You don’t need to go anywhere special on Amazon’s website or app to do this since Amazon will automatically ask you to sign up or sign in when you place an order. You can also click on the sign-in button ahead of an order to create your account. That button is located in the top right of the website page, both on a computer and on a mobile device, and is dead center on the bottom of your screen for the mobile app.

    Upgrading to Amazon Prime

    Once you have your free Amazon account set up, you can upgrade it to an Amazon Prime account. All you have to do is go to the Amazon Prime sign-up page and follow the instructions. You can do this on any device.

    If you’ve never signed up for Amazon Prime before, or you haven’t had an active Amazon Prime membership for at least a year, you can get a 30-day free trial at sign-up. After that trial period is over, Amazon Prime’s base cost is $14.99 a month. You can also pay for a year’s worth of Amazon Prime upfront for $139, which works out to $11.58 a month.

    Some members of the population are eligible to get Amazon Prime for even less. Students, for example, can get Amazon Prime for $7.49 a month or $69 a year, which is $5.75 a month. Select governmental assistance recipients, such as those on Medicaid, can get it for $6.99, though there’s no yearly subscription for this discount category.

    Amazon Prime benefits

    Amazon Prime benefits are broken down into six categories.

    AMAZON OCTOBER PRIME DAY CHEAT SHEET:  October Prime Day: Here are the best early deals

    Shipping

    Shipping benefits are the primary reason for signing up for Amazon Prime. They include free two-day, same-day and release-day shipping on most items sent to most zip codes. You can also select no-rush shipping to earn rewards and pick an “Amazon Day” for your packages to arrive each week when ordered in time.

    Streaming

    Amazon Prime also gives you access to the Prime Video streaming service, home of shows such as “The Boys” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” You also get access to Amazon Music, a discount on Amazon Music Unlimited and Prime Gaming, which gives you access to free games and in-game rewards.

    Shopping

    The shopping benefits of Amazon Prime are eclectic, to say the least. Some benefits include access to Amazon credit and reward cards, access and discounts to ordering fresh food that can be delivered in as quick as an hour, discounts and “try before you buy” access to clothing and, of course, access to Amazon’s big sales events.

    Reading

    Reading benefits are minor, but still a boon to book lovers. You get access to Prime Reading, a free collection of books, magazines and more, plus access to Amazon First Reads, which lets you download a new book for free each month from a select list.

    Other

    Two final small benefits are Membership Sharing, where adults in the same household can share some Amazon Prime benefits and Amazon Photos, which offers unlimited photo storage.

    Supplemental

    Lastly, there are bonus paid benefits to Amazon Prime that you can tack on. This includes adding premium cable channels such as HBO and Showtime, plus a free one-year Grubhub+ membership.
