Do I need to have a Prime membership to shop Amazon's Big Spring Sale?
You don't need a Prime membership to shop Amazon's Big Spring Sale. However, Prime members can take advantage of discounts on additional items marked with the "Prime Spring Deal" badge.
If you aren't already a Prime member and shop with Amazon often or plan to shop the sale, this could be a great time to join. An annual Prime membership costs $139 per year or $14.99 per month.
Students are eligible for a discounted Prime membership that costs $69 per year or $7.49 per month. If you want to take Amazon Prime for a test run during Amazon's Big Spring Sale, both versions of a Prime membership come with a free trial.
In addition to savings during Amazon's Big Spring Sale, a Prime membership includes free shipping on eligible items, a free GrubHub+ membership, same-day grocery delivery, access to Amazon Music and Prime Video, and more.
How to find the best deals in Amazon's Big Spring Sale
To get the best shot of snapping up the best deals during the sale, it's worth spending a little time finding items you want to buy in advance and adding them to your Amazon Wishlist. From there, you can set up notifications to alert you when an item appears in a sale or with reduced pricing. You can do this via the mobile app or desktop assistant.
Amazon usually heavily discounts its own products, and in the past, we've seen huge price drops on its Basics range, Kindle, Fire TV devices, Echo and Echo Dot. These deals typically last throughout the sale; we'll share a roundup of the best travel deals here at TPG.
One thing to keep in mind is that not every deal is the best deal, and knowing when to pounce on a bargain can be a skill in itself.
If you're unsure whether a sale price offers significant value, we recommend checking the product on a site like Camelcamelcamel. It shows you an item's price history and can help you determine whether to buy it now or wait until the price drops further, either during the sale or later in the year.
How to maximize your savings with the right credit cards
In addition to the discounted prices available during Amazon's Big Spring Sale, paying for your purchase with the right credit card can save you even more. We recommend using one of the cards from TPG's list of the best credit cards for Amazon purchases, but here are a few of our favorites:
- Prime Visa (see rates and fees): This card has no annual fee and offers 5% cash back on all Amazon purchases (with an eligible Prime membership). Additionally, you'll earn 10% or more cash back on a rotating selection of items on Amazon. New cardholders get a $150 Amazon gift card instantly upon approval, exclusively for Prime members.
- Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card: This card offers 2 Capital One miles per dollar spent on everyday purchases, including on Amazon. You can redeem those miles for flights and hotels via Capital One Travel, transfer miles to one of Capital One's airline and hotel partners, or use them to cover eligible travel purchases made with the card.
- Chase Freedom Unlimited® (see rates and fees): This no-annual-fee card offers a simple 1.5% cash back on Amazon purchases. When you pay with this card, you'll also get up to 120 days of purchase protection for damage or theft and extended warranty protection, which can give you peace of mind on large purchases.
To save even more money on Amazon purchases, check your credit card offers and use coupons when available. For example, over the holidays, American Express ran a limited-time offer with Amazon in which targeted cardholders could save up to 50% on Amazon purchases using just 1 American Express Membership Rewards point. Deals like this crop up all the time, so keep your eye out for them.
Bottom line
Amazon's Big Spring Sale kicks off on Tuesday, March 25 and will run through March 31. For seven full days, you can take advantage of an array of savings across the site.
