When is Amazon’s Spring Sale 2025?
My early estimations placed the spring sale returning on Wednesday, March 26 and ending March, 31. Amazon confirmed its second annual Big Spring Sale event on March 18, and publicly unveiled that the sale will begin on Tuesday, March 25 and end on Monday, March 31.

Do I have to be a Prime member to shop Amazon’s Spring Sale?
No, you don’t have to be a Prime member to shop this sale event. All customers can shop the Amazon Big Spring Sale, although, like last year, Prime members will presumably have special access to select exclusive deals. If you’re not a Prime member yet, you can join before the Big Spring Sale kickoff to receive member benefits like free shipping, entertainment, exclusive savings, and more.
How much is an Amazon Prime membership?
Amazon Prime costs $15 per month, or you can purchase an annual membership for $139, saving several dollars. College students and those aged 18-24 can get a discount and pay nearly $8 per month or $69 per year. In addition, those with qualified government assistance (which may include select seniors) can receive a Prime membership for just $7 per month after their free trial.
How can I maximize the Spring Sale to save?
As a commerce and advice editor, I can recommend a few things to help you maximize Amazon’s sales. If you want to shop the sale, you’ll want to access a Prime account, even if the Big Spring Sale is not a Prime-exclusive event. In addition to free two-day shipping, membership is easy to set up and gives you access to exclusive offers on the site. Plus, you can use a free trial to shop for the best savings without spending a dime on a membership.
If you end up starting a free trial (or already have Prime), ensure your payment options (like one-click settings and your default delivery address) are correct. This way, you can check out quickly if you need to during the sale. Other ways to prepare for spring savings include researching and planning potential purchases, listing want and need items, and setting a budget before sales.
How did we choose these Spring Sale deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
