Amazon Prime Day 2025 expands to 4-day event

Amazon has confirmed Prime Day 2025 will span July 8-11, marking its longest-ever sale event since launching ten years ago. Starting as a mere 24-hour promotion, then expanding to two full days in recent years, this four-day shopping extravaganza sets a new benchmark.

Maintaining its status as one of the biggest online shopping events globally - second only to Black Friday - Prime Day's extended timeframe offers Amazon's Prime members extra days to hunt down discounts across countless product categories.

Like previous years, these limited-time deals remain exclusive to Prime subscribers, with many discounts unlikely to reappear until November's Black Friday promotions.

U.S. shoppers can join Prime for $14.99 monthly or $139 annually, with first-time users eligible for a 30-day free trial.

The real steal comes through Amazon's "Prime for Young Adults" program, delivering identical benefits (fast shipping, Prime Video access) plus tech cashback bonuses and free Grubhub deliveries.

After a six-month free trial, membership costs half-price (£7.49/month or £69/year) until your 25th birthday (or until your joints start protesting).

Beyond the youth-focused Prime discounts, several standout promotions launched ahead of Prime Day 2025:

Could Switch 2 Stock Arrive For Prime Day?

While still unconfirmed, multiple signs suggest Amazon may finally stock Nintendo's Switch 2 during Prime Day.

The retailer recently updated the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle listing - previously flooded with third-party sellers - to a cleaner "Currently unavailable" status.

With Amazon resuming sales of first-party Switch 2 games recently, Prime members might gain exclusive early access to the coveted console.

Globally sold-out since launch month, Nintendo's latest console moved 3.5 million units worldwide its first weekend. Amazon potentially restricting stock to Prime members would create tremendous buzz during the sales event.

Prime Day vs July 4th Sales: Which To Choose?

With Prime Day overlapping July 4th weekend sales, savvy shoppers face a strategic dilemma. While Independence Day promotions typically feature gaming monitors and electronics deals from major retailers, Prime Day delivers greater scale and Amazon-exclusive discounts.

The close timing may spark fierce price wars between retailers vying for consumer attention. For maximum savings, we recommend checking both sales events.
