Best October Prime Day streaming deals: Starz, Criterion Channel, and more

The best October Prime Day streaming deals at a glance:

Amazon’s Prime Day events are no longer just a time to score TVs and laptops at a discount. Back in July, Amazon also dropped a ton of streaming deals. Now, ahead of October Prime Day — formally dubbed Prime Big Deal Days — we’re seeing some sweet discounts on streaming services once again. So it’s safe to say that Prime events are now a good time to diversify your streaming lineup.

There’s a bit of fine print, however, when it comes to Prime Day streaming deals. Typically, most of the deals you’ll find during these shopping events are in the form of Prime Video add-ons. In other words, you need to be a Prime member or a Prime Video subscriber to take advantage of them. (Not a member? Sign up here.) Add-ons still give you full access to the streaming service you choose; they just happen to live inside the Prime Video app, keeping all of your content under one roof.
