What is Amazon’s Big Spring Sale?
Amazon has run spring sales in the past and its latest iteration, the Big Spring Sale, is essentially the same idea — lots of deals launching simultaneously, across almost every product category, all available for a limited time. Amazon says that new deals will be launching daily, so it’s worth checking back for the latest items on sale.
We don’t know if Amazon is testing the waters for another Prime Day-level sale in the first quarter of the year, following in the footsteps of the now-annual October Prime Day event, but it’s an opportunity for shoppers to buy things they may have already been eyeing up without having to pay full price outside of the usual summer and fall sale seasons. Given Amazon has referred to this Big Spring Sale as the “first-ever,” it suggests that this event is likely to become an annual thing.
Do I need a Prime subscription to shop the Amazon Big Spring Sale?
No, unlike Prime Day-style events, the Amazon Big Spring Sale doesn’t require a Prime subscription in order get in on the deals, though Amazon has stated that some Prime-exclusive deals will be in the mix. Plus, there are plenty of other Prime membership perks like speedy delivery, so an active Prime account can help you get more out of the sale, but on the whole, the majority of deals are available for anyone to shop.Â
