Prime members, rejoice! The season’s most exciting shopping event is finally here: the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale. Designed to help shoppers jumpstart their holiday shopping early, the first-of-its-kind sale takes a cue from July's Prime Day 2022 and caters to Amazon Prime subscribers with its member-exclusive deals.
The Prime Early Access Sale officially kicked off this morning and runs through tomorrow, October 12, and there are already thousands of markdowns across Amazon’s repertoire of offerings. And of course, Prime members are privy to the best ones. Right now, you can score up to 80 percent off on high ticket items like Apple AirPods, Shark vacuums, and of course, plenty of travel gear, according to the retailer's original press release.
Travelers will want to check out the exclusive deals on Samsonite suitcases, which are up to 48 percent off, and versatile duffel bags that start at just $16. However, one of the best luggage markdowns we've seen is on an American Tourister carry-on that's 62 percent off, saving you nearly $200. You can also use the sale to improve your travel process with useful items like the highly rated Bagail 6-Piece Packing Cube Set, which shoppers say doubles the room in their suitcases. This organization set is under $15 with a Prime member exclusive on-site coupon.
The October Prime Day sale also includes massive savings on comfortable, fall-ready clothing, which will keep you snug and cozy while traveling, while also making excellent additions to your everyday wardrobe. Adidas hoodies, cozy Hanes sweatshirts, soft crewneck long-sleeves from Carhartt, Under Armour joggers are more than 30 percent off. We also spotted tons of supportive, travel-friendly shoes in the sale; Columbia hiking boots, Nike running shoes, and more have price tags starting at $79 — that’s a Black Friday-level deal!
You can also use the sale to rack up savings on must-have tech items and kitchen appliances, such as Apple AirPods Pro, Samsung Bluetooth trackers, Garmin smart watches, and KitchenAid mixers. This is the perfect opportunity to get a head start on your holiday shopping and gifting, or simply give your home a makeover to emulate your favorite boutique hotel.
Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time to shop. The Prime Early Access Sale ends on October 12 at midnight PT, and you can become a Prime member today so you can enjoy these member-exclusive deals. Start your free 30-day trial now, and keep scrolling to explore the 57 best members-only deals from the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale.
