Amazon Sets Prime Day Dates, Offers $10 Credit to Certain Shoppers

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has set the date -- actually, dates -- for its annual Prime Day shopping holiday. It will begin at midnight PDT on Tuesday, Oct. 13, and will run through Wednesday, Oct. 14, with the massive online retailer promising over 1 million deals on a wide range of familiar brands. As with the previous Prime Days, only members of the retailer's Prime loyalty program are eligible for the deals.

As part of the occasion, Amazon says it will run its "biggest small business promotion yet." In what it says is an effort to bolster sales from the many small businesses that sell through the site, Amazon will provide $10 in credit to Prime members who spend at least that amount on items from such vendors from now until Oct. 12. That credit can be used for any Amazon merchandise during Prime Day.
