Amazon’s early Black Friday savings are officially here. Following the retailer’s Prime Early Access Sale last month — a second Prime Day-like event that gave Prime members special deals ahead of the holiday shopping season — Amazon has now joined other major retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy in releasing early Black Friday deals. The retailer is offering sales on items across shopping categories, ranging from tech devices and kitchen appliances to beauty and fashion items.
SKIP AHEAD Best Amazon Black Friday sales | Do you need a Prime membership to shop Amazon’s Black Friday deals?
Unlike Prime Day and the most recent Prime Early Access Sale, anyone can shop Amazon’s Black Friday deals (although the retailer does offer some exclusive deals for Prime members). Another thing to know: Prime members can sign up for an Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card to earn 5% cash back on all purchases at Amazon and Whole Foods, along with other perks — here’s what to know before signing up for Amazon’s credit card according to Select’s money experts.

Do you need a Prime membership to shop Amazon’s Black Friday deals?
It’s well known that Prime Day — Amazon’s most popular sale event of the year that typically occurs in the summer — and its most recent mid-October iteration is only open to Prime members. But there’s no rush to sign up if you don’t have a membership this November: Similar to retailers like Target and Walmart, Amazon opens its Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to everyone regardless of their Prime status.
However, there are certain benefits to having a Prime membership that’ll ensure you score the best deals of the season. Amazon offers exclusive savings just for Prime members during its Black Friday sale on items across tech, beauty, home decor and more. Prime members also get unique benefits like free one- and two-day shipping, free same-day delivery and access to Audible Premium Plus, Prime Video, Amazon Photos and more.
