When does Amazon Prime Day end?
Amazon Prime Day ends later today, Friday 11 July. Some deals might linger into the weekend at roughly the same price, but there’s no saying for certain. So if you spot something at a discount that you’ve had your eye on for a while, you might want to get in your basket and bought before midnight.

What date is Amazon Prime Day 2025?
Amazon Prime Day kicked things off on Tuesday 8 July and runs until Friday 11 July. If you’re a Prime member, you can still shop the deals before the sale wraps up.
Is Prime Day two times a year?
Not quite. Amazon Prime Day is once a year, falling in July. But since 2022, Amazon has also introduced Prime Big Deal Days, a second major sales event in autumn packed with exclusive deals for Prime members. It’s a similar members-only sale, joining the usual Spring sale and Black Friday events that happen each year.
Is the Amazon Prime Day only for Prime members?
Yep. The Amazon Prime Day deals are exclusive to Prime members. That said, if you’re not one yet, you can always start a free trial of Amazon Prime to get access.
Are there any Nintendo Switch 2 deals in the Prime Day sale?
Not many, unfortunately. Since the console has only just launched, discounts on the Switch 2 itself and its accessories are pretty much non-existent. That said, it’s worth checking out Switch 2 games. A few games are already seeing price drops. And sure, they might not carry the Prime Day badge, but there are some decent deals worth looking out for.
