Amazon Black Friday deals 2024: Everything you need to know (and the early deals available right now)

Amazon and Black Friday are a match made in shopping heaven! As we gear up for Black Friday 2024, here’s everything you need to know about this year’s best deals and how to make the most of early offers from Amazon.

The Amazon Early Black Friday sale 2024: top offers available now

Echo Dot

The Black Friday sales have well and truly arrived—you can score this Echo Dot at more than half off, with an Amazon Music subscription thrown in for good measure.

Shark cordless hoover

If there was an award for the world’s most stylish hoover, this would take gold. Stylish and compact, this Shark cordless model offers up to 40 minutes of runtime on a single charge. Amazon’s Black Friday deal makes it a steal for anyone in the market for a new vacuum.

Amazon Fire Stick

Okay, we did say that Amazon Prime Day is best for Amazon’s own products—but Amazon has slashed the price of the 4K Fire Stick by 5% off. We stand (happily) corrected... 

Oral-B

Black Friday is the best time of year to upgrade your electric toothbrush, and Amazon has also slashed the price of this Oral-B Pro twin pack—up your couples dental game, or save one for yourself and give the other as a Christmas gift.

When does the Amazon Black Friday sale start for 2024?

Black Friday 2024 officially falls on 29 November, but Amazon usually starts its deals early. Expect discounts to begin weeks in advance, with big savings on Amazon devices, electronics, and household items well before the day itself.

Are Amazon Black Friday deals better than Prime Day?

It depends on what's on your wishlist! Prime Day is best for Amazon-own products like Kindles, Fire Sticks and Echo Dots, while Black Friday offers deeper discounts across a wider range of products. If you're looking for markdowns on big brands like Apple, Dyson and KitchenAid, Black Friday is your best bet. 

Does Amazon do Cyber Monday?

Yes! Amazon runs flash and lightning deals throughout Black Friday weekend, with even more exclusive discounts saved for Cyber Monday. Last year, Cyber Monday brought deals like 55% off the Amazon Echo Dot, so it’s worth sticking around.

What’s the best way to get a Black Friday 2024 deal?

If you’re looking to snap up an Amazon Black Friday discount this year, make sure you’ve signed up for Amazon Prime—now’s a good chance to bag a free trial, if you haven’t already got an account. Amazon Prime members usually get access to exclusive Black Friday offers and lightning deals before anyone else!

The best Amazon Black Friday offers from last year

In 2023, Amazon launched its biggest Black Friday sale yet with discounts of up to 75%. Here are some highlights from last year:

• 72% off Oral-B SmartSeries Electric Toothbrush
• 52% off the Amazon Echo Dot
• 50% off the Remington D3198 Hairdryer
• 36% off the Fire TV Cube

Top sellers included smart home essentials like Amazon smart plugs, Apple AirPods, and Philips Hue bulbs. Here’s where we expect to see the biggest discounts this year:

Amazon Apple Black Friday deals

Amazon is a go-to for Apple products on Black Friday, offering markdowns that Apple’s official store typically won’t match. In 2024, expect deals of up to 30% off on AirPods, 20% off Apple Watches and 15% off MacBooks—but act fast, as these discounts usually sell out quickly.

Amazon Black Friday TV deals

In past Black Fridays, Amazon has offered up to 50% off Samsung and LG TVs. This year’s deals should be just as impressive, especially as Amazon competes with other tech retailers on Cyber Monday for the best TV discounts.

Amazon Black Friday Kindle & tablet deals

For the tech-savvy shopper, Amazon’s Black Friday sale is the perfect time to score big on the Paperwhite Kindle and Fire Tablet. Look for discounts of up to 50% off on these devices, based on previous Prime Day and Black Friday sales.

How to get the best Amazon deals this Black Friday (and beyond)

1. Sign up for Amazon Prime in advance.

Prime members get first dibs on the best Black Friday offers, including Amazon’s ‘Lightning Deals’. You can sign up for a 30-day free trial if you haven’t had an account before, which will grant you all the same perks as a paying member.

2. Or sign up for Prime Student, if you’re eligible.

Students can get a free six-month trial to bag Black Friday discounts. After this, it’s only £4.49 per month for all of the perks of a regular Prime account. You’ll get special student offers and discounts too—score!

3. Add items to your watchlist before the sales start.

Adding items to your wishlist ahead of time helps you navigate the sales quickly and easily once deals go live.

4. Turn on notifications so you don’t miss out.

If you’ve got the Amazon app, you can turn on notifications for “Your Watched & Wishlisted Deals”. This is a must for bagging those Lightning Deals before they get snapped up.

5. Select 'No-rush delivery' to bag account credit.

If you can bear waiting an extra day or two for your delivery, opt for the 'No-rush' option—you'll be rewarded with a discount or account credit to use on future orders. Score!

6. Compare prices before you checkout.

Prices on Amazon fluctuate regularly, so it can be tricky to spot a true ‘discount’. It’s worth checking in with other retailers before you hit the ‘buy now’ button, and using a tool like Pricerunner to compare the average RRP to the Black Friday price.
