Amazon is preparing to kick off Prime Big Deal Days, which runs October 10th and 11th. This Prime-exclusive sales event will provide deep discounts on name-brand items ahead of the holiday shopping season. But in typical Amazon fashion, early deals are already available, and customers can now sign up for invite-only deals on hot ticket items. You can even save on items outside of the Amazon website using the Buy with Prime payment method, and Prime members who upload their first photo to Amazon Photos will receive a $15 credit.

Most of Amazon's early deals are on Amazon-branded items, such as the Fire TV and Fire Tablet. But you can also save on Dyson vacuums, JBL speakers, and several other popular products. Amazon's early-access deals will rotate throughout the coming weeks, so be sure to regularly check the Big Deal Days page for new sales.

The selection of invite-only deals is also pretty impressive. You can save $150 on a three-pack of Blink Outdoor security cameras, save $100 on a Philips 3000 air fryer, or score an excellent Sony soundbar for half off. All of Amazon's invite-only deals are located at the bottom of the Big Deal Days page—visit the product page for invite-only deals and request an invitation, you'll receive an email telling you whether or not you're accepted.

Of course, Amazon is also giving away some free stuff. Prime members can get four months of Amazon Music Unlimited for free, provided that you haven't tried Music Unlimited in the past (you also get an Echo Pop speaker for $5 if you choose to renew Music Unlimited after the four-month offer ends). And if you're a Prime member who's never tried Amazon Photos, you'll receive a $15 credit for uploading your first photo before October 7th.

Prime members can also save $5 on a $25+ GrubHub order with coupon code "PRIME5." Various movies and shows are currently 50% off at Prime Video, and you can score three months of BET+ on Prime Video Channels for $3.

Again, Prime Big Deal Days begins on October 10th and ends on the night of October 11th. If you start adding items to your wishlist now, you'll have a much easier time navigating the Amazon website during Big Deal Days. If you aren't a Prime subscriber, you can sign up for a free trial to enjoy these deals.
