Amazon’s invitation-only Prime Day deals are back. Check out the deals that are live below and keep checking back for updates.
Last year, Amazon made Prime Day’s big sale even bigger with the launch of an invitation-only deals program that gave select shoppers a chance to score additional exclusive deals.
Prime Day 2024 officially starts tomorrow, but we’ve already seen seven invite-only deals and are eagerly awaiting more.
Amazon Prime Day is coming — here’s how to find the best deals
So, what do you need to know ahead of the Amazon sale on July 16-17? Below you’ll find all the basic information you need to purchase the invitation-only offer.
What are invitation-only Prime Day deals?
Amazon Prime Day often includes a few extra hot deals before the invitation-only deals, which pop up unexpectedly and sell out quickly. Buying them, or at least trying to buy them, can be a confusing and frustrating experience.
The idea behind the invitation-only offer is that you don’t have to be glued to your computer screen for the duration of the sale to take advantage of these deep discounts. Instead, Prime members can request an invitation to claim these offers. While there’s still no guarantee you’ll actually add them to your cart, it formalizes the process and takes the usual Prime Day buying frenzy down a notch.
What invitation-only offers will be available during Prime Day 2024?
As of July 15, we’ve spotted seven invitation-only deals, including a pair of Sony headphones, a Peloton, and a SodaStream, that perfectly match the deals Amazon teased in a press release earlier this month.
It’s official: Best Buy’s July Black Friday sale is happening on Prime Day
As part of its July 2023 Prime Day sale, Amazon is offering 10 invitation-only deals, including a $100 4K Omni TV, saving a lucky few 75% on the cost of their TV. Fall’s Prime Big Deal Days sale brings slightly less impressive products, with six deals in total, including Sony soundbars and Jabra earbuds. For both Prime sales, Amazon ended up adding last-minute deals — in the fall sale, it ended up including 60% off the 50-inch Omni TV and 60% off the 50-inch Hisense Fire TV.
Between July 10 and July 15, we saw Amazon add one more deal, increasing the number from 6 to 7, but we’re still waiting for more last-minute deals—perhaps one that will match last year’s Prime Day The total number of 10 offers is matched or set based on past sales following TV precedent.
When will the invite-only offer launch?
There’s no official landing page yet, but the offers have appeared on Amazon’s website over the past few weeks. We’ll update this article as the deals go live.

Who gets invitation-only Prime Day deals?
We don’t know much about Amazon’s invitation-only deal selection process, but we do know that you can only request access if you’re a member of its Prime subscription service (paid or trial). Signing up is easy and gives you access to more exclusive Prime benefits throughout the promotion period.
How to Shop Invite-Only Prime Day Deals

That’s it – it’s actually a two-step process.
Shoppers can make one request per item, but there is no limit to the number of invitation-only offers you can purchase. For example, if there are seven items available, you can make up to seven requests. Once you’ve made your request, you’ll be able to see an “Invitation Requested” notification on the product page.
The best invite-only deals are coming ahead of Prime Day 2024
why we like it
A pair of Sony headphones is a great deal for under $40, but not if you’re not concerned with aesthetics quite Although Amazon may make it look expensive—the Sony WH-CH520 headphones in the non-cappuccino colorway (aka the invite-only offer) are usually just $59.99. That being said, Sony claims 50 hours of battery life, a customizable equalizer via the Sony Headphones app, and multipoint connectivity.

SodaStream has become an invitation-only offer: Amazon is offering the E-terra model for $89.99 on Prime Day 2023 (regularly $159.99), and the SodaStream Art bundle on Prime Big Deal Days, The price is just $110 (originally $195). The Enso is the most expensive of the three sets on offer so far and, in addition to the manufacturer, comes with a 60-liter CO2 cylinder and a dishwasher-safe bottle. However, its stainless steel exterior does give it the most premium look of any SodaStream available, and it seems to be more unique – at the time of writing, the Enso is not currently available on SodaStream’s website.

The gold-standard Peloton Original also offers invite-only Prime deals. Prime members have the opportunity to purchase the stationary bike for $1,011 instead of the $1,445 list price, which equates to a 30% discount or a savings of $434. The Peloton bike comes with its own touchscreen display for tracking workouts, and its compact design means it takes up no more floor space than a standard yoga mat. A resistance knob lets you choose the difficulty of your ride, and a headphone jack or Bluetooth connectivity lets you adjust the workout of your choice without disturbing others in the room.

We’ve seen Foreo’s invitation-only deals before, so we’re excited to see some of the products in the line return for Prime Day this year. The Luna mini 3 isn’t the latest in its class, nor is it particularly new – the mini 4 was launched in 2022. And with this invite-only offer, you can get the Luna mini 3, cleansing balm, and cleanser for just $103. If you just want to add a compact cleansing brush to your tried and true skincare routine, this might not be the best option, but if you’re looking for more of a complete overhaul, this bundle might be a good one starting point.
