When is Amazon Prime Day 2025?
The next Prime Day sale is set to take place in July 2025. Amazon hasn’t confirmed the exact dates of the sale, but if last year is anything to go by, you can expect a two-day sale around mid-July.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Prime Day is Amazon’s exclusive sale for its Prime members. It usually runs twice a year, once in the summer and again in the autumn before Black Friday sales begin. You can expect to find deals on beauty, laptops, kitchen appliances and everyday household essentials.
Prime Day discounts are only available to Prime members. A membership typically costs £8.99 per month or £95 for the year, and if you’re 18 to 22 years old, you can claim a 50 per cent discount. If you’re yet to sign up for Prime, you can register for a 30-day free trial just before the sale starts. This gives you full access to all the Prime Day offers, and you can cancel for free before the membership fee kicks in.

This huge 400ml bottle of SPF50+ lotion will see you through days out and family holidays this summer, and it’s now reduced by 25 per cent.

This gives you a discount when you register, but remember to check every so often if you can get a better deal by switching brands.
