What will be on sale during the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale?
Amazon is keeping full information about what will be on sale under tight wraps for now. The retailer has shared, however, that products from a number of top brands including New Balance, Philips SonicCare, Murad, Peloton and Caudalie will be discounted during the Prime Day-like event.
Amazon also states that there will be deals on electronics, clothing, home and kitchen items, pet care, toys and Amazon devices. You can expect a wide range of bestselling and top-rated items to go on sale throughout the event.
Is Amazon offering any deals ahead of the event?
You don't have to wait for the Prime Early Access Sale to find a good deal. Between from Sept. 30 and Oct. 7, Prime customers can rent or buy tons of popular Prime video titles for 50% off.
Amazon Prime Video, $8.99 per month
Here's another Amazon Prime Early Access Sale deal you can shop right now: You can get an Amazon Echo smart speaker for $0.99 when you subscribe to a month of Amazon Music ($8.99).
