Amazon on Monday announced the schedule for its biggest sale of the year, Amazon Prime Day, and this year the online retailer is doubling the sale to four days.

The sale, which runs from July 8-11, features deals for its Amazon Prime loyalty members on electronics, beauty supplies, apparel, groceries and more. 

Leading up to Prime Day, Amazon is also offering summer savings on fuel.  

Amazon Prime members can receive $1 off per gallon on fuel purchases up to $35 during the Fourth of July weekend, the company said. The offer is available at 7,500 bp, Amoco and select ampm stations. 

Amazon noted that Prime members are eligible for 10 cents off per gallon every day of the year at participating locations by linking their bp loyalty account, earnify, to their Prime membership account. 

Prime and earnify members can also get 20 cents off per gallon every Friday in June. 

“New this year, we're offering exclusive deals including fuel discounts for summer travel, alongside some of our lowest prices of the year from top brands. We’re also excited about our enhanced Prime for Young Adults membership, giving 18–24-year-olds the ability to enjoy new exclusive perks like 5% cash back for a limited time, plus new shopping features that make discovering personalized savings easier than ever,” said Jamil Ghani, vice president of Amazon Prime, in a press release. 

The massive sale will also for the first time include Today’s Big Deals specials on each day of the four-day event. 

Amazon is highlighting its grocery products this year with sales of up to 30% off on brands like Frito-Lay, up to 25% off on snacks from Ferrero Rocher and energy drinks from Red Bull, and 20% off Nespresso pods, the Seattle-based online retailer said. 

Prime members who register with an EBT card can get a three-month free subscription to Amazon Grocery, which entitles them to free delivery from Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods Market orders over $35. 

The sale typically coincides with Target’s Circle Week and Walmart’s Deals for Days events, but the specifics on those sales have not yet been announced.
