It may be rolling in later than usual, but Amazon Prime Day gets underway today before the sale officially begins on October 13th.

Amazon Prime members can take advantage of one of the largest global online shopping events, but the catch is that it is only open for members.

You can sign up to a month long free trial here if you haven’t already. Subscriptions cost $6.99 per month or $69.99 for a year.

From today members can shop the following exclusive, early deals:

Amazon Music Unlimited

For just $0.99, Prime members who haven’t yet tried Amazon Music Unlimited can get four months of the premium streaming tier with unlimited access to more than 60 million songs.

After the trial period you'll pay $11.99 per month.

Audible

Prime members who haven’t tried Audible can get a three-month Audible free trial that includes an audiobook of their choice each month, a bonus monthly audiobook chosen by Audible’s editors, and unlimited access to hundreds of hours of audio. 

After the trial period you'll pay $16.45 per month.

Kindle Unlimited

Prime members who haven’t tried Kindle Unlimited can enjoy 3 months of subscription for free.

Monthly fees are $13.99 per month thereafter.

Prime Video

Prime members and customers can rent popular movies starting at $0.99 on Prime Video Store.

All Prime subscription services such as those listed above are contract free, so you won't be stuck with them if they don't suit you in the long term.

The sale day officially begins at 12am AEDT on 13 October. Local deals will run for 48 hours until 11:59PM AEDT on Wednesday, 14 October, with Prime Day deals from the States available on Amazon.com.au through Amazon Global Store until 6pm AEDT on Thursday, 15 October.
