Will iPads be cheaper at Amazon Prime Thanks Festival 2025?

At Amazon's big "Prime Thanks Festival" sale, older iPad models and limited-stock items are often heavily discounted each year, making it a prime opportunity to snag a deal.

What's more, the discounts tend to extend beyond just the iPad itself to include genuine accessories like Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard, as well as peripherals such as cases and screen protectors. Buying the device and accessories together can significantly reduce costs compared to regular prices, making it a very economical choice.

Amazon Prime Thanks Festival 2025 | Dates, Point-Up Benefits, and Stamp Rally Summary

The Amazon Prime Thanks Festival 2025 has been announced as the largest ever. It will take place for 4 days from 0:00 AM on Tuesday, October 7th to 11:59 PM on Friday, October 10th. This doubles the traditional 2-day event, making it a substantial sale. Additionally, a pre-sale will be held from Saturday, October 4th to Monday, October 6th, extending the large-scale event to effectively 7 days. Popular items often sell out during the pre-sale, so early checking is essential.

In addition, the customary point-up campaign will be held concurrently. By registering in advance and making purchases totaling 10,000 yen (tax included) or more, you can aim for a maximum point還元 of 15.0%, with the還元 rate increasing depending on conditions. The breakdown is +1.5% for Prime member benefits, up to +3.0% for Amazon Mastercard usage, +4.0% for brand selection items, and an additional +6.5% for specific categories such as large home appliances.

Furthermore, a stamp rally benefit is available exclusively for Prime members. By collecting stamps through services like Prime Video and Amazon Music and meeting the conditions, you can enter a lottery to win up to 50,000 points. The six stamp conditions are "purchase of Prime eligible products," "entry into the point-up campaign," "watching Prime Video," "using Prime Reading," "using Amazon Music Prime," and "first app sign-in (for eligible users)." You can earn a lottery entry by collecting up to five stamps and placing an order of 2,000 yen (tax included) or more for Prime eligible products.

The entry period is from 2:00 PM on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, to 11:59 PM on Friday, October 10. The purchase period is from 0:00 AM on Saturday, October 4th to 11:59 PM on Friday, October 10th. Pre-registration is required for both, so those planning to participate should prepare early.
