Amazon Black Friday 2020: When it starts, shipping deadlines, & best deals

Though we've only just had Amazon's huge Prime Day event, we're already looking ahead to Black Friday — and so is Amazon! Since it's a stacked fall calendar for shopping events this year, we expect Black Friday deals to extend well beyond the post-Thanksgiving weekend with Black Friday deals on tech and more spreading out throughout November.

We've already got details on how Amazon plans to roll out its early Black Friday deals, so read on for more.

Amazon Prime

Now's the perfect time to sign up for Amazon Prime ahead of Black Friday. Not only do you get free, two-day delivery, but you'll also get access to members-only deals, plus Prime Video, Music, Gaming, and other benefits.

With the late placement of Prime Day this year and the general uncertainty caused by the current global health crisis, we saw a lot of other retailers bring forward a bunch of Black Friday deals and kick them off in October — a far cry from the usual late-November sales. We've also had confirmation from retailers like Walmart and Best Buy that many more deals will be available much earlier than usual this year.

Not to be left behind, Amazon has now announced and kicked off its 'Holiday Dash' sale that promises early "Black Friday-worthy" deals launching daily through the rest of October and November.

We know that Black Friday sales will be pushed online way more than usual this year due to the ongoing health crisis. Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar stores, Amazon doesn't have retail space for in-store events and is, therefore, no stranger to running huge online sales.

Expect to see a ton of Black Friday deals on Amazon devices, as well as Black Friday laptop deals, sales on 4K TVs, smart home tech, fashion, health and fitness, baby products, and much more. We'll keep this post updated as new information comes to light and ensure that all of the Black Friday deals below are the very best on offer.

Amazon 'Holiday Dash' Black Friday sale explained

Hot on the heels of Prime Day, Amazon's new 'Holiday Dash' event promises to offer "Black Friday-worthy" deals with fresh deals dropping every day.

The rotating selection of daily deals will feature some big-name brands and popular product categories as we continue to move closer to Black Friday itself. Though it doesn't have a brick-and-mortar strategy to worry about, Amazon's Black Friday plans are similar in spirit to those already outlined by other retailers where the deals are starting much earlier this year than normal, offering shoppers a chance to tick off everyone on their holiday gift list without going into a store.

Amazon has detailed many of the promotions that will be available during the Holiday Dash with some of the highlights being:

  • Save up to 33% on select Nintendo Switch games
  • Save up to 35% on Nixplay Digital Frames
  • Save up to 20% on Fitbit Activity and Fitness Trackers

How do I prepare for Black Friday at Amazon?

There are lots of little things you can be doing now to prepare yourself or Black Friday at Amazon. Some may be obvious and others you may not have considered. Let's review some Black Friday tips to ensure that you're ready for maximum savings on the big day.

The best place to start is with your Amazon account. Check to ensure that your Prime membership is in good standing and won't be up for renewal before late-November when we expect Black Friday sales to pick up. You'll also want to make sure that your billing address is correct and that your credit cards aren't expired. It may seem silly now, but those extra few seconds you save during checkout could be the difference between scoring a sick deal and missing out on it.

Keep an eye on Thrifter's Twitter account to find out exactly when the event will be taking place so that you can begin your 30-day free trial at the right time, and it won't expire before you get to use it.

You're going to want to get yourself an Alexa-enabled device. This may enable you to get deals exclusive to voice shoppers, deals even other Prime members won't be able to get first as it has in years past.

The Amazon Prime Rewards credit card is for the hardcore deal hunters. You need an eligible Prime membership to get the most benefits out of this card. Signing up for it gets you a $50 Amazon gift card that you can spend on Black Friday. Plus, you can get 5% back at Amazon on whatever you spend. If you plan to go all-out on Black Friday, this is a no-brainer.
