Amazon to host first-ever four day Prime Day event
Online marketplace giant Amazon is set to bring back its Prime Day sales event, extending the discount offer to four days for the first time.
Running from July 8 to July 11, the summer sale shopping event offers Prime members access to limited deals across a range of categories, from apparel to personal care and books.
Another new addition to this year's sales event is 'Today's Big Deals,' a curated series of themed daily offers spotlighting some of the event's most compelling discounts, available exclusively to Prime members.
"New this year, we're offering exclusive deals, including fuel discounts for summer travel, alongside some of our lowest prices of the year from top brands," said Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime, in a statement.
"We're also excited about our enhanced Prime for Young Adults membership, giving 18–24-year-olds the ability to enjoy new exclusive perks like 5 percent cash back for a limited time, plus new shopping features that make discovering personalized savings easier than ever."
Ahead of Prime Day, Prime members will also gain early access to significant savings across key categories—from home tech and fashion to groceries and everyday essentials. These pre-event offers provide strong value well before the official kickoff. Additional early deals include up to 30 percent off select Amazon-owned brands.
From July 1, Prime members can also shop school supplies and household staples from Amazon Basics starting at 3 dollars, along with seasonal fashion from Amazon Essentials, including dresses and swimwear from 12 dollars.
"Prime Day is about celebrating our members by providing them with exceptional savings and convenient delivery, and now is an excellent time to save."

BREAKING NEWS Jobs bloodbath becomes a massacre as biggest company in the world announces massive layoffs
Microsoft is planning to cut thousands of jobs as it ramps up investments in artificial intelligence. The cuts, which will hit sales roles in particular, are part of a broader effort to streamline the company's workforce, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. The layoffs are expected to be announced early next month, following the end of the tech giant's fiscal year, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Sales teams will not be exclusively affected by the reductions, and the timing could still change, the people told the outlet. The terminations follow a previous round of Microsoft layoffs in May that hit more than 6,000 people, mostly in product and engineering positions. In April, the largest company in the world said it planned to use third-party firms to handle more sales of software to small and mid-size customers. The company had a global headcount of 228,000 at the end of June 2024. Microsoft has market capitalization of over $3 trillion, but it is looking to rein in costs as it funnels billions into its ambitious bet on artificial intelligence. Microsoft declined to comment to Bloomberg about the potential job cuts. The news comes a day after Amazon's CEO announced brutal workforce cuts as the company also increases its use of AI. Amazon boss Andy Jassy said he plans to reduce the company's corporate workforce over the next few years as the tech will make certain roles redundant. Jassy told employees in a note seen by the Wall Street Journal that AI was a once-in-a-lifetime technological advancement and it has already transformed how Amazon operates. 'As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done,' he wrote in the memo. It is not yet clear how many workers will lose their jobs and when the cuts will come. 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce,' Jassy explained. Those close to the matter told the outlet that a large chunk of the decrease in headcount would hopefully occur via attrition. This means as employees move on their roles will not be filled. However, this will not cover all of the reductions and layoffs are still expected to occur at some point.
