It doesn’t matter what time of year it is; there’s always a good reason to save money. Amazon understands this better than most and tries to offer as many sales a year as possible. This week, it announced the official dates of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, unofficially known as "October Prime Day." It’s set to take place Oct. 7-8, which happens to be an excellent time for holiday gift shopping for fan favorites. This isn’t a sale for everyone, though. It’s only for Amazon Prime members. Thankfully, it’s not hard to sign up.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days will be a 48-hour sale featuring the deals on top brands for Prime members only. Expect to find discounts on top products from Apple, Dyson, Sony and Ninja — and the sale extends to over 35 categories this year.

The only two hard facts we have about the upcoming sale are that it’s in October and only for people with an Amazon Prime membership. Here’s how to sign up for a Prime membership so you can be ready when the sale finally happens.
You still need to input a billing method if you take advantage of the free trial, though. After the 30 days, you will start being charged at a rate of $14.99 a month or $139 a year if you choose the annual membership. The monthly membership costs $179.88 a year, for comparison’s sake.
If that $14.99 a month or $139 a year seems steep, you may be in luck. Amazon offers two discounted memberships without losing a single benefit.
Access to significant sales events every year isn’t the only benefit of Amazon Prime. Some of the rest include:
Additionally, Amazon Student comes with even more benefits.
