The cat is officially out of the bag. Amazon Prime Day will commence on October 13 and last through the end of October 14. Amazon just confirmed the date and the e-tailer is kicking things off with a deal you can get right now.

Through October 12, Amazon is offering a $10 Amazon credit (to use on Prime Day) to members who spend $10 or more on items sold by select small businesses in Amazon's small business store.

Eligible small business items for the free credit run the gamut from groceries (like this $14 matcha tea powder) to home and kitchen (like this set of two double-walled cocktail glasses for $29).

The $10 credit is valid for the duration of Prime Day only, which is from 12am (PT) on October 13 through 11:59pm (PT) on October 14. It can be used on anything and will expire once Prime Day ends.

Want to get another free $10 Amazon credit? Currently, if you spend $10 or more at Whole Foods (online or in-store), you'll get a free $10 Amazon credit. The credit is one of the best Prime Day Whole Foods deals of the entire event. That deal is available now and here's how to get it.
