Amazon Prime Day 2024 is officially underway, and we are loving the many impressive deals we’ve seen thus far. Shoppers who are currently perusing the sale might be wondering: Do Prime Day deals change each day? Or are Prime Deals the same both days?
After spending years covering Prime Day, the shopping experts at CBS Essentials can definitively say that prices are subject to change during the sales event. Read on to learn everything we know about Prime Day price changes, so you can make the most informed decision about your purchase, before you click “buy.”
Do Prime Day deals change or stay the same each day?
Deals on products can change during Prime Day. Prices change on Amazon all the time, even outside of Prime Day, so you can expect prices to change on some products during the sale. A great way to gauge whether or not a deal will change is the type of discount it has.
Limited-time deals, which will be marked as such, often last a day, and could go on for a couple more days. Lightning deals, as its name suggests, strike a product and once hit, disappear quickly, so if you see one, you should act fast. That’s because lightning deals are a first-come, first-serve discount on a product for a set amount of shoppers. After that set amount of shoppers claim the discount, it’s gone, which could happen in hours or even minutes.
If you see a discounted item that isn’t marked as a limited-time deal or a lightning deal, that discount is likely to be available the next day. In our experience, those deals remain the same for days at a time. However, during Prime Day, we wouldn’t take any chances. If you really like a product and its sale price, we recommend you go ahead and just buy. And if you see that same product is marked down even further on Prime Day two, then buy it. You can always return the first purchase (Amazon has a very flexible return policy).
How do you know when Prime Day deals will be available?
Prime Day deals will be available the moment the sale starts, which is July 16 at 12 a.m. Pacific time. The deals will disappear when the sale ends on July 17 11:59 a.m. Pacific time.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov arrested at airport near Paris, French media reports

French police arrested Telegram CEO and founder Pavel Durov on Saturday at an airport near Paris for alleged offences related to the popular messaging app, French media reported.
The French-Russian billionaire, 39, was detained at Le Bourget airport north of the French capital on Saturday evening, one of the officials told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity.
French television news outlets TF1 TV and BFM TV also reported the arrest, citing unnamed sources, according to Reuters.
He had just travelled from Baku, in Azerbaijan, another source close to the case told AFP.
Durov was expected to appear in court on Sunday.

Telegram did not immediately respond to a request from Reuters for comment, and the French Interior Ministry and French police had no comment either.
France’s OFMIN, an agency tasked with preventing violence against minors, had issued an arrest warrant for Durov as the coordinating agency in a preliminary investigation into alleged offences including fraud, drug trafficking, cyberbullying, organized crime and promotion of terrorism, one of the sources close to the case told AFP.
Durov is suspected of failing to take action to curb the criminal use of his platform.
“Enough of Telegram’s impunity,” said one of the investigators, adding they were surprised Durov came to Paris knowing he was a wanted man.
Durov started Telegram in 2013 and left Russia in 2014 after he was ousted from VKontakte — a popular social networking site in Russia which he-cofounded — after being pressured by the Kremlin to hand over users’ personal data, which he refused to do.
In a 2016 interview with “60 Minutes,” Durov said he was “horrified” when he learned that Telegram — which was designed to be heavily encrypted so that governments cannot access users’ personal data — was being used by terrorist groups like the Islamic State to communicate.
“I’m personally for the privacy side,” Durov said in that interview when asked whether privacy concerns outweighed security risks. “But one thing that should be clear is that you cannot make just one exception for law enforcement without endangering private communications of hundreds of millions of people because encryption is either secure or not.”

A rare dusting of summer snowfall happened in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California overnight.

“While it’s rare to see snow this time of year, it’s a reminder of the unpredictable nature of our beautiful Sierra Nevada. If you’re planning to visit, please drive carefully and be prepared for the chilly weather,” according to the Madera County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
Snow was also recorded at the top of The Summit at Mammoth Mountain, which is 11,053 feet.
“This morning was chill. Take a look at the dusting of new snow on the mid and upper-mountain,” said officials at Mammoth Mountain on Instagram.
You could also see the snow on Mammoth Mountain’s live webcam page.
The National Weather Service sent out an alert to hikers and campers in the area to be prepared for winter conditions, including slick roads.
