Amazon Prime Day 2024: Dates announced and the best early deals to shop now

That’s why we’re here to expertly guide you to ensure you make every dollar count. So we’re sharing everything we know now about Amazon Prime Day 2024, including a few early Prime Day deals you can “Add to Cart” today.

It’s time to chuck all of your mismatched food storage containers and replace them with this marked-down, matched-up set. It comes with 12 round and rectangular containers, which are clear so you can easily see their contents.

“Absolutely love how versatile these containers are,” gushed a user. “The glass is sturdy and [the] lids are easy to clean and do not stain. Both containers and lids did well in my top rack dishwasher without any warping.

Travelpro is among flight crew members’ favorite luggage brands. From its lightweight build to its durable construction, this carry-on is one that pilots in particular use and praise.

“I like the two-wheel pull version that I have used for years as an airline pilot,” one five-star reviewer on Amazon said. “My wife wanted this version with the four wheels. It worked very well over various surfaces.”

Traveling with just a carry-on can be limiting, so it’s best to do whatever you can to maximize the space you have. One of the easiest and most effective ways to do this is with a set of compression packing cubes. Just pack your clothes inside each cube, zip them up with the standard zipper then once more with the extra compression zipper. 

Popular travel accessories brand Bagail says these should free up about 60% of space in your luggage, allowing you to pack more than you originally could. And, with over 14,000 five-star reviews, they’re definitely worth the investment. Even pilots swear by these!

“I am a pilot and travel a lot. In hotels 14-16 nights a month and seldom in the same hotel for more than one night,” one impressed shopper wrote. “These bags (bought two sets) keep me organized, save time packing and unpacking, and keep my clothes wrinkle-free.”

Here’s your plan B: This phone holder lets you prop up your device to watch your favorite shows or movies, hands-free and at eye level. It easily attaches to your tray table or luggage handle, so it’s a no-brainer, space-saving add-on. Flight crew members like it so much, they use it for travel and keep using it once they’re back home.

“As a commuting flight attendant, [this] comes in very handy!” one reviewer said. “At home, I like it propped up on the counter.”

There’s nothing worse than buying an overpriced drink at the airport and not having anywhere to set it. This removable caddy attaches to your carry-on luggage handle and has slots for two cups — natch, the flight attendants of the world use it religiously.

If you’ve ever tried to settle in for an in-flight snooze, you know that it’s a challenge. Flight crew members, who are experts at catch-as-catch-can cat naps (say that 10 times fast!), treasure a travel pillow that makes falling and staying asleep a bit easier. 

One flight attendant said he uses this No. 1 bestselling pillow when heading home after exhausting international red-eyes. “This allows me to sleep and not wake up with a total neck ache,” the crew member gushed.

Amazon released the official dates of their Prime Day sales event for 2024 just this morning, and here’s the skinny: This year’s summer Prime Day spectacular will begin on Tuesday, July 16 and run through Wednesday, July 17. This is a touch later in the month than expected — last year’s summer Prime Day ran from Tuesday, July 11 to Wednesday, July 12. If you want to get super granular, we have those details too: the event officially begins at 3 A.M. EST, and will run a full 48 hours.

Amazon Prime Day, a tradition that the retailer launched in July 2015, is a massive site-wide savings event exclusive only to Amazon Prime subscribers. If you’re not yet a member, don’t sweat it — You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more all year ’round.) Not ready to join the club yet? Well, you can sign up for Amazon Prime at any time, including during PD itself. Along with the exclusive savings, you’ll also be able to take advantage of benefits like free shipping.

Information on specific markdowns is soon to come, but we already have a tantalizing taste of the deals in store at Amazon Prime Day 2024. They include sweet savings on timely categories like warm-weather fashion finds, outdoor must-haves, and classics like electronics and kitchenware. Plus, it’s almost guaranteed that the retailer will be offering big deals on their house-brand products, like Kindle, Fire TV, Echo, Ring and more.

Like last year’s Prime Days, we’re expecting mega markdowns on big brands like Apple, Ninja and Samsung, along with discounts on Yahoo reader favorites and highly reviewed bestsellers. Unlike Black Friday, where holiday shopping reigns supreme, Prime Day is particularly well-timed for checking a host of items off your own list, like travel necessities, summer-entertaining supplies, and upgrades for the home, office and even your beauty routine.

Stick with us here at Yahoo to stay apprised of all the emerging deals for Amazon Prime Day 2024. We’ll have category experts on deck to keep you up to date on all the marked-down must-haves. We’ll also be comparing prices with other retailers (and delving into price histories), so you can be sure you’re getting actual deals — and this coverage will extend throughout all of Amazon Prime Day, so check back often for updates.

Plenty of other online retailers try to get in on the savings action, so sales will often start a little earlier at places like Target, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sephora and more. We also know that Walmart’s own deals event will be hitting on July 8 and last through July 11. Walmart+ members get first dibs on the retailer’s array of savings for the Walmart Deals sale — becoming a member couldn’t be easier; simply click here and you’ll have the option to start with a free 30-day trial to see how you like it.
