Overview

• The October event is live today through Oct. 8 in core markets, offering a concentrated 48-hour window of deals.
• Amazon Australia’s version runs longer, with discounts available Oct. 7–13 as a week-long Prime promotion.
• Access to the deepest discounts requires a Prime membership, with a widely promoted 30-day free trial for new users.
• Coverage spotlights broad markdowns across tech, home, beauty, fashion and toys, with callouts to Levi’s, Madewell, Dyson, KitchenAid and Apple, plus Sunbeam deals in Australia.
• Editors report many markdowns went live early and advise using price-history tools or screenshots, as overlapping sales from Target (Oct. 5–11) and Walmart (Oct. 7–12) heighten the need to compare.
