Black Friday is still a week away, but Amazon hasn’t been shy with deals this month — already, we’ve seen discounts on TVs, iPads and more. And once again, Amazon is bringing back its invite-only discounts for sales that it expects to be extremely popular.
Amazon’s invite-only system was introduced earlier this year and gives bargain hunters a chance to ensure access to specific deals without having to watch the site like a hawk. In order to be eligible for certain high-profile deals, you’ll need to register for those products ahead of time.
Below, learn how Amazon Black Friday invite-only deals work and how you can sign up for special deals now.
What are Amazon Black Friday invite-only deals?
Some of the biggest Amazon Black Friday deals are already displayed on the site, and have a special red box indicating they are an “Invite-only Prime Deal.” Once you click on the product, you’ll see a yellow “Request invite” button sitting below the promoted price. Clicking that button will register you for a guarantee to buy the product at the Black Friday price when it goes on sale.
Invitations will be granted based on the number of products Amazon has in stock. If your request for an invitation is successful, you’ll get an email from Amazon with a special link to buy the product when it goes on sale.
How do Amazon Black Friday invite-only deals work?
It’s simple for Amazon Prime members to request invites for deals that are available by invitation. Look for the yellow button marked “Request invite” below the advertised Amazon Black Friday price. These buttons will only be present on products that are marked “Available by invitation.”
