Black Friday is upon us once again. Though the official shopping holiday is on Nov. 29, Amazon’s Black Friday shopping event kicks off Thursday, Nov. 21, and runs through (Cyber) Monday, Dec. 2. Exciting deals await on electronics, toys, kitchen gadgets, and more. In fact, many are already live, as in years past.
Unlike Prime Day, which is exclusively for Prime members, shoppers aren’t required to have a Prime membership to enjoy Black Friday deals at Amazon. Of course, it never hurts, though. With Prime, you’ll have access to some exclusive savings, free and fast delivery, and access to the Black Friday NFL game on Nov. 29. The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Las Vegas Raiders at 3 p.m. ET in a game exclusive to Prime Video. New discounts on toys, electronics, and apparel will be up for grabs during the game.

Step 2:
Input your email if you have an existing Amazon account or click on Create Your Amazon account.
A new sign-in page will open up on the website. Input your email or mobile number and password if you have an existing Amazon account or click on Create Your Amazon account. If you make a new account, you’ll need to provide some basic information such as name, email, and password.
Step 3:
If you’re creating a new account, follow the steps to verify your email with a One-Time Password.
If you choose to create a new account, Amazon will send an OTP to your respective email address or mobile number for account verification. If you are using an existing account, skip to Step 5.
Step 4:
Input the OTP and click on Verify.
Once the OTP verification page appears on the screen, input the code and click on Verify.
Step 5:
Sign up for your free one-month trial or purchase a full subscription.
