Not all Prime Days deals are available to everyone. Starting in 2023, some of the best deals from Amazon’s annual sale are available by invitation only, meaning you need to register before the sale starts and hope to be chosen to receive a discount. These offers have become a staple of Amazon’s major sales, including Prime Day last summer.
With Prime Big Deal Days 2025—the fall version of Prime Day—starting on October 7 , more invite-only deals will appear on the site. Here’s how to find them and sign up for them for your chance to score great deals.
Who is eligible for Prime Day by invitation only?
Only a limited number of items will be available for invitation-only offers. You can find them by the “Invite Only” banner on the product page. As Amazon explains , you must be a Prime member to participate in invitation-only offers. By signing up, you’re essentially requesting a purchase invitation, which will be sent to you via email, but only if you’ve chosen it.
Here are the steps to register:
-
Find the “Prime by Invite Only” offer you want to purchase. The list of offers will appear on the “Deals” page after Prime Day begins.
-
Go to the product description page.
-
Select “Request an Invite.” If you’re not a Prime member, sign up for Prime to request an invitation.
-
You will receive an email notification confirming your invitation request. The confirmation will be sent to the email address specified in your Amazon account. If you don’t have an email address, add one by going to “Your Account” > “Sign In” > “Security.”
How to find out if your invite-only deal has been approved
Keep in mind that requesting an invitation doesn’t mean you’ll receive one. If you’re selected, you’ll receive a push notification in the Amazon app and an email during the sale. If you’re not selected, Amazon will also notify you. You can only buy one of the items you’ve been invited to, but you can request as many invitations to different items as you like. The invitation will be valid for the duration of Prime Day (four days this year) or until the sale ends.
Invite-only deals are often among the most impressive Prime Day deals. For example, last year Amazon sold a 43-inch 4K Smart Fire TV for just $99, and you’ll likely see similar offers this year.
