FAQs
Is Black Friday better than Prime Day?
Black Friday is better than Prime Day in just about every way. Because it's a multi-retailer event and not just an Amazon-specific one, brands big and small jump on participating. That means incredible low prices not only from Amazon, but from competing stores and its small business sellers too.
Perhaps most importantly, Black Friday isn't a member-exclusive event, either. Anyone can shop Black Friday sales, whereas Prime Day is locked behind the Prime membership paywall.
Do you need to be a Prime member to shop Black Friday at Amazon?
Unlike Prime Day, Black Friday is not a sale locked only to Prime members. However, we highly recommend considering at least a trial of the subscription service. Members get tons of Amazon Prime benefits, including free two-day shipping. And Prime members can now register early for invite-only deals on popular items like Blink security cameras. It's a way to sweeten the Black Friday shopping experience, especially with holiday stock shortages and shipping delays sure to come.
Luckily, first-timers can get a month of Prime for free. If you don't plan on signing up for the service in full, hopping on the trial when it will overlap with Black Friday is a handy way to lock in free shipping for all of your deal shopping.
