Although this sale isn’t officially the same thing as Prime Day, you can think of it as the sequel. As with the first one, there’ll be hundreds of thousands of markdowns up for grabs across every category, from clothing to beauty to home. (You’ll find the lowest prices of the year on select items, Amazon promises.) This time around, though, the retailer is introducing a new feature called the Top 100 list, which will be a curated selection of on-sale, highly giftable items from the likes of iRobot, KitchenAid, Lego, Samsung, and Hasbro—perfect for getting your holiday shopping done in one fell swoop.
Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale is moving the start of the holiday shopping season up earlier than ever. (Black Friday who?) If you’re the type who likes to wrap up your gifting early—or who got caught up in shipping delays last year—there’s never been a better time to get started and save some cash at the same time.
Who can shop Amazon Prime Day?
Prime Day 2 is open exclusively to Amazon Prime members, who’ll get access to lightning deals, free two-day shipping, and extra benefits like Prime Video and Amazon Prime Music. And the sale is set to go live in 15 countries, including the United States, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. If you don’t have a membership, you might get lucky with coupons or a few unofficial Prime Day deals from select sellers, but you’ll be missing out on all the extra perks of membership. If you’re still on the fence, can also score a free 30-day trial below.

What are the best Amazon Prime Day deals?
We thought you’d never ask! Amazon has confirmed that brands like Peloton and New Balance will be marked down, and Alexa-enabled devices and Fire TVs will be marked down as much as 80%. Although the vast majority of the upcoming sales are still under wraps, you can already score a ton of early Prime Day deals on everything from weighted blankets to cowboy boots.
