An Amazon Prime membership is $14.99 per month or $139 per year if you choose to pay annually (the monthly rate for that is about $11.50). But right now, Amazon is offering a special Prime deal: You can get three months of Prime for just $7.49.

Although Amazon didn't give us much to go off of in its October Prime Day announcement, Walmart has offered a sneak peek at some of the deals we can expect from the sale. You can check out the full press release from Walmart for all of the details.

The holiday shopping season is almost here. Amazon has confirmed that its Prime Big Deal Days event will return on October 8th and 9th. The Prime member exclusive event promises early Black Friday deals on everything from 4K TVs to our favorite running shoes.
