Amazon usually holds its Prime Day sales in July 2020. However, the US retail giant postponed the blockbuster sale – which sees thousands of items across almost all departments – due to the ongoing public health crisis. But that could all change this week, as rumours suggest Amazon will reveal the hotly-anticipated rescheduled date in the coming days.
According to the latest whispers, Amazon will bring Prime Day, which is exclusive to those signed up for the Prime membership scheme – or currently in the midst of a free trial of the subscription, back in September 2020. Second only to Black Friday, Amazon’s Prime Day is one of the biggest sales events on the calendar.

Amazon has almost always picked Monday to kickstart deals, with Prime Day running throughout Tuesday.
Amazon usually has a number of deals that last throughout the entirety of the sales event – these are typically on its Echo smart speakers, Kindles, and Fire TV streaming gadgets. There are also daily deals and “Lighting” discounts on items that arrive for a very limited time and in very limited quantities.
