One of Amazon’s biggest shopping events of the year is hours away. Amazon’s October Prime event brings another round of great deals to Prime subscribers, with the sale running Oct. 10 and 11. If you’re ready to cash in on the Prime event now, Amazon is already offering early Prime Day deals.
Amazon Prime Day extends even beyond the Amazon website. An Amazon service called “Buy with Prime” gives Prime members discounts on products from a long list of brands that are offering Prime Day deals on their own websites.

Participating sellers will include a Prime Day banner and coupon code on products that are part of the sale, as well as a Buy with Prime button that syncs with your Amazon account. Read on to learn how Buy with Prime works and what sort of Prime Day deals are available on third-party sites right now.
What is Amazon Buy with Prime?
Amazon’s Buy with Prime program lets Amazon Prime members shop at non-Amazon online stores seamlessly by automatically including their email address, shipping address and payment method from their Amazon account.
Participating brands include a Buy with Prime purchase button on their product pages, most often with a coupon code that’s required at checkout. Although they’re linked to your Amazon account, purchases occur on the retailers’ sites, not Amazon’s. Since retailers aren’t required to offer the same selection and pricing on Amazon as on their own sites, Buy with Prime can get you some deals that aren’t available on Amazon.
