When is Amazon Prime Day 2023?

We finally know when Amazon Prime Day 2023 will happen. Amazon Prime Day 2023 will begin at 3 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, July 11 and end on Wednesday, July 12. New daily deals and short-term flash deals will be rolled out throughout the weekend, so you’ll want to check back with CBS Essentials throughout the entire two-day sale.

Who can participate in Amazon Prime Day 2023?

Amazon Prime Day deals have historically been available only to shoppers with an active Amazon Prime subscription. Those who have never been Amazon Prime members can get a 30-day free trial.  

An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 per month (plus taxes) or $139 per year. It includes much more than access to Prime Day deals: You get free, two-day shipping on most Amazon products (and free same-day delivery in some areas), access to TV shows and movies on Amazon Prime Video plus special deals at Whole Food Market and more.
