What is the Amazon Big Spring Sale?
The Amazon Big Spring Sale is a first-of-its-kind sale event for all customers (not just Prime members) in the spring season. It features six days of special savings on thousands of items across all product categories.
When is the Amazon Big Spring Sale?
Amazon announced that the Big Spring Sale will begin on March 20 at 12:00 a.m. PDT and run through March 25.
The length of this sale differs from Amazon’s most famous sale event, Prime Day, which typically runs for only two days. Prime Day is notoriously held in the summer, but in recent years, Amazon had added a second Prime Day-like event in the fall, ahead of the holiday shopping season.
The Big Spring Sale will be Amazon’s first sale of note in the spring season.
How to prepare for the Amazon Big Spring Sale
While the sale will be available to both Prime members and nonmembers, Amazon notes that Prime members will have access to “a suite of exciting, exclusive deals,” so it may be worth joining Prime if you haven’t yet.
You can sign up for a 30-day free trial here, after which your membership will cost $15 per month or $139 per year. In addition to fast, free one-day and same-day shipping, you’ll have access to Prime Video ad-free music streaming, unlimited photo storage, unlimited reading and exclusive deals throughout the year.
What deals can we expect from the Amazon Big Spring Sale?
Amazon hasn’t officially announced any specific deals, but it did note in the press release that there will be discounts on “warm-weather essentials like spring fashion, outdoor furniture, lawn and garden essentials, cleaning and organizing products, and more. All customers can shop the sale, which includes deals on Amazon devices like Echo and Kindle devices, and Prime members will receive access to exciting, exclusive deals.” It also provided the following breakdown of upcoming deals:
Up to 50% off select beauty products
Up to 50% off select sports and outdoors equipment
Up to 40% off select home products
Up to 40% off select spring apparel
Up to 40% off select electronics
