All Amazon Prime users are being offered a surprise bonus this week
Prime users may have just been hit by a big price increase but Amazon is trying to soften the blow with a surprise sale. The online retailer is renowned for its Prime Day event which usually takes place once a year towards start of the summer. However, in 2022 things are getting even better with a second price-cut bonanza taking place in just a few days’ time.
This additional discount day will begin on October 11 with the offers lasting for a full 48 hours before ending at midnight on October 12.
All of the bargains and money-saving offers will be exclusively available to Prime members but don’t panic if you don’t subscribe to this premium service.
Right now you can sign up and get a whole month for free. That means you can try things out, enjoy the sale event and not have to pay the standard fees.
For anyone not already aware, Prime Day offers big exclusive discounts and money-saving deals for customers who subscribe to Prime.
Some of the biggest cuts are always applied to Amazon’s own-brand devices such as the Echo smart speaker, Fire TV sticks and Kindles with some of the lowest prices of the year often arriving during Prime Day but that’s not all.

Amazon is also promising that this October’s sale will include big savings on top brands such as Shark, Nespresso, Philips, Oral-B, Samsung, Xiaomi, iRobot, LEGO, Melissa & Doug and Hasbro.
“Across the UK, our Prime members will get the opportunity to start shopping some of the season’s top deals before anyone else with Amazon’s new Prime Early Access Sale,” said John Boumphrey, UK Country Manager of Amazon. “You may not be ready for Panto and mince pies but with fewer than 90 days until Christmas, it’s not too early to start planning your shopping for the festive season ahead, and this exclusive 48-hour sales event will help people save money and shop smarter as we head into the festive season.”
So how much does Prime cost?
Last month’s price increase means a monthly subscription is now £8.99 (was £7.99). Those signing up for a whole year get a slight discount with a 12-month membership costing £95 (was £79).
