How to Sign up for Amazon's ‘Invite-Only’ Deals During the Black Friday Sale

Not all Black Friday deals are open to just anybody. Since 2023, some of the best offers in Amazon's biggest sales are invite-only—meaning you have to sign up for them in advance of the sale going live, and hope you get chosen to receive the discount. These deals have become a common fixture for Amazon's major sales, including this summer's Prime Day.
With the Black Friday sale kicking off on Nov. 20, you can expect to see more invite-only deals popping up around the site. Here's how to find and sign up for them, so you have a fighting chance at scoring some great offers.
Who is eligible for Black Friday invite-only deals?
Only a select number of products will be available via invite-only deals. You'll be able to spot them by the "invite-only" banner visible on the product page. As Amazon explains, you must be a Prime Member to sign up for the invite-only deals, and when you sign up, you're essentially requesting an invitation to purchase the deal, which will come by email—but only if you're chosen to receive it.
Here are the steps to sign up:
-
Find an "Invite-Only Prime Deal" that you want to purchase. You can find these deals listed on the Deals page once Black Friday begins.
-
Navigate to the product detail page.
-
Select "Request Invite." If you are not a Prime member, sign up for Prime to be able to request an invite.
-
You will receive an email notification confirming that you requested an invite. The confirmation will be sent to the email that is on your Amazon account. If you don't have an email on your account, add one by navigating to Your Account > Login > Security.
How to know if you were approved for an invite-only deal
Keep in mind that just because you requested an invitation doesn't mean you'll receive one. If you are selected, you'll receive both a push notification in the Amazon app and email notifying you during the sale. If you're not selected, Amazon will also let you know you didn't get one. You can only buy one of the products that you were invited for, but you can request as many different product invitations as you want. The invitation will last as long as the sale lasts, or as long as there is stick remaining.
Invite-only deals are usually some of the sale's most impressive offerings. Last year, for example, Amazon sold a 43-inch 4K Smart Fire TV for just $99, and you'll likely see similar deals this year.
