Do I need to be a Prime member to get Amazon Prime Big Deal Days deals?
Yes, you do need an Amazon Prime subscription to take advantage of designated Amazon Prime Big Deal Days deals. Of course, you can still purchase the items without that subscription, but you won’t get the special deal pricing.
To a certain extent, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days itself is a vehicle for Amazon to sell more subscriptions, which cost $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Among other benefits, in addition to deal pricing the plan gives you fast, free shipping; access to Prime Video streaming content; and special deals when you shop at Whole Foods. It’s a pricey subscription, but you can sign up for a free Amazon Prime trial to get the deals.

As usual, Amazon will likely have discounts on literally tens of thousands of items all across its vast retail emporium, from carpet cleaners to CPUs.
While deals will be available site-wide as third-party sellers look to get in on the action, the deepest discounts will be reserved for Amazon Prime subscribers. (Naturally. I mean, it’s in the name.)
