Home Depot doesn't hold competition sales for any of Amazon's seasonal sales as reliably as Target or Walmart do. That doesn't mean that there aren't any good spring deals to be found at Home Depot during Amazon's Big Spring Sale. You just have to scroll a little bit.

So far, Home Depot is once again giving away some free power tools with select purchases — reminiscent of the BOGO cordless tool promo we saw during Black Friday. (But hurry, some of the free DeWalt deals have sold out already.) Home Depot is also quietly competing with Wayfair's Big Outdoor Sale with discounts on outdoor furniture, as well as up to 40% off in other home categories, from mattresses to wallpaper to area rugs from big brands like Safavieh.

Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Live updates on Apple, Kindle, DJI, and Brooklinen deals

Mashable - 15 hours 51 min ago

Amazon is running a huge sale from March 25 to 31. No, we're not talking about another Prime Day. We're talking about the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

This event might not carry quite the same weight as Prime Day or Black Friday, but it's still one of the biggest sales events on the shopping calendar, and this year's deals are surprisingly good. This spring-themed event will go hard on outdoor equipment like drones and power stations, spring cleaning essentials like robot vacuums, and everything else shoppers are looking to buy at this time of the year. Our professional deal hunters have spotted record-low prices on Apple, Fire TVs, Kindles, and Sony headphones.

We've lined up all the best deals from the Amazon Big Spring Sale. Keep scrolling for the full schedule of events and the latest live updates, price drops, and news from the Mashable shopping team.

Amazon sales are notorious for these classic deals — save on Amazon devices, camping gear, AirPods, and more

Mashable - 15 hours 53 min ago

The first major Amazon sale of 2026 is here. The Amazon Big Spring Sale, which kicked off on March 25, features some of the retailer's best spring deals all the way through March 31. During a time when the price of simply breathing seems to get more expensive by the day, seven full days of deals are welcome.

Amazon is notorious for offering a selection of classic deals during major sale events — sales that we see pop up every Prime Day and Black Friday. These include Amazon devices, Apple products, Ninja kitchen appliances, and plenty more.

We've been covering Amazon's Spring Sale since it first cropped up three years ago, and Amazon's other major sales for even longer than that, so we decided to put our expertise to use. The result? The below list of the nine best classic Amazon deals we've spotted so far during the Big Spring Sale.

Best Kindle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Bundle $171.97
$222.97 Save $51   Get Deal Why we like it

The standard Amazon Kindle Paperwhite with 16GB storage comes with a list price of $159.99, but during Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 2025, we saw that drop to $124.99. So far, it's only dropped down to $134.99, which is just OK, but the Kindle Paperwhite Bundle is on a discount. The bundle includes the Paperwhite (Mashable's favorite Kindle), a plant-based leather cover, and a power adapter. The Kindle Paperwhite is the perfect spring break accessory since it's lightweight enough to pack along and it's waterproof. Plus, a single charge can last for up to 12 weeks.

Best Bluetooth tracker deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTag (1st Gen, 4 pack) $59.99 at Amazon
$99 Save $39.01   Get Deal Why we like it

Apple AirTags are a staple feature during Amazon sales. Will we see the first-ever discount on the second-generation AirTags? That remains to be seen, but for now, you can snag a four-pack of first-generation Apple AirTags for only $59.99, beating their lowest price ever by about $3. For the bundle, each Apple Bluetooth tracker costs just $14.99. The timing for this deal couldn't be better since we're all eyes on spring break and we're booking summer travel since airfare prices have no bounds these days.

Best LifeStraw deal Opens in a new window Credit: LifeStraw LifeStraw Personal Water Filter $13.18 at Amazon
$20.06 Save $6.88   Get Deal Why we like it

Amazon markets its Spring Sale as being the perfect time to pick up seasonally-appropriate savings, like outdoor supplies. But that wasn't the only reason it was unsurprising to see the LifeStraw on sale — if there's a sitewide Amazon sale, this personal water filter will be available for less than its full price. This time around, that means you can grab it for just $13.18, saving you 34% on the portable water filter.

Best Fire Stick deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus $24.99 at Amazon
$49.99 Save $25.00   Get Deal Why we like it

Naturally, Amazon devices get markdowns every time an Amazon sale comes around. While Kindles may get a lot of love, it's definitely worth taking a second look at the brand's Fire Stick selection. Case in point: this 4K Plus model is 50% off, bringing it down to just $24.99. This streaming stick essentially turns any TV into a smart TV with easy access to streaming services. And, it's much cheaper than a $130 Apple TV setup.

Best Apple deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirPods Pro 3 $199 at Amazon
$249 Save $50   Get Deal Why we like it

It doesn't matter if the most recent model of AirPods has been out for years or if it came out months ago (as is the case with the AirPods Pro 3) — they will be discounted if Amazon is running a sale. Our reviewer heaped praise onto the latest flagship earbuds from Apple, calling out their standout ANC, great out-of-the-box sound quality, and interesting extra features like the built-in heart rate monitor and live translation. At $199, they're not quite at the lowest price we've ever seen them hit — that'd be the $184 they were at in February — but $50 off Apple's latest earbuds is still a pretty sick deal.

Best air fryer deal Opens in a new window Credit: Our Place Our Place Wonder Oven $185 at Amazon
  Get Deal Why we like it

Finding an air fryer that's big enough to actually cook an entire meal, looks cute on a countertop, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg seems almost an impossible task, but Our Place's Wonder Oven somehow pulls it off (a wonder, indeed). The 12.7-quart countertop oven comes with a wire rack, air fry basket, bake pan, and crumb tray, and can air fry, bake, roast, toast, broil, and reheat. That's versatility. At $129 for Prime members (a 30% discount off the $185 list price), it's an excellent deal on the air fryer that Mashable's Samantha Mangino calls her "favorite kitchen appliance."

Best Dyson deal Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson Supersonic Nural $349.99 at Amazon
$549.99 Save $200   Get Deal Why we like it

The (in)famous Dyson Airwrap can be a hit or miss when it comes to Amazon sales, but at least one model of the Dyson Supersonic goes on sale during an Amazon savings event. This time around, we're delighted to see it's the Supersonic Nural. Make no mistake, this is a luxury purchase, but its speedy dry times and temperature-adjusting magnetic attachments do absolutely add something to the hair-drying experience. Considering its $549.99 price tag, grabbing it on sale is absolutely the move — luckily, it's $200 off, bringing it down to $349.99.

Best budget headphones deal Opens in a new window Credit: JLab JLab JBuds Lux ANC $41.99 at Amazon
$79.99 Save $38.00   Get Deal Why we like it

The JLab JBuds Lux ANC are what you get when you want Bose QuietComfort headphones but want to pay under $100. On sale, you can beat even that impressive valuation and grab them for under $50, at just $41.99. (The $359 Bose QuietComfort headphones, on the other hand, have not gone on sale as of day two of the Spring Sale.) These headphones earned a spot on our best budget headphones list thanks to their adjustable (and great) active noise cancellation, impressive battery life, and balanced sound profile. As an added bonus, you have your choice of four colorways on sale.

Best tent deal Opens in a new window Credit: Coleman Coleman Sundome Camping Tent (4 person) $94.99 at Amazon
$117.99 Save $23   Get Deal Why we like it

If the four-person Coleman Sundome Camping Tent isn't on sale when Amazon is hosting a sitewide sale, hell has probably frozen over. What won't be freezing over is you, protected from the elements in this tent that can fit a queen-size mattress, withstand winds of up to 35 mph, and has a rainfly to keep you dry and warm. This Big Spring Sale markdown knocks the price to $94.99, saving you 19%, and making this tent cheaper than its three-person counterpart.

Im a tech editor, and I found 40+ Big Spring Sale tech deals at Amazon Id actually buy

Mashable - 16 hours 8 min ago

As Mashable's tech editor, it's my job to test the latest and greatest products from brands like Apple, Samsung, and DJI. But I also get to test cool under-the-radar finds and random gadgets only true tech nerds know about. For day two of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, I hand-picked a fresh batch of tech deals that are actually worth shopping.

Amazon Big Spring Sale tech deals: Best of the best Best Kindle deal Kindle Paperwhite $134.99 (save $25) Get Deal Best Budget Headphones Sony WH-CH520 Wireless On-Ear Headphones $48 (save $21.99) Get Deal Best Noise-Cancelling Headphones Sony WH-1000XM6 Noise-Cancelling Headphones $398 (save $61.99) Get Deal Best Drone Deal DJI Neo Mini 4K Drone $149 (save $50) Get Deal Best Amazon Device Deal Amazon Echo Dot Max $74.99 (save $25) Get Deal Best Apple Deal Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) $189 (save $60) Get Deal Best MacBook Deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $949 (save $250) Get Deal Best Creator Deal DJI Mic Mini $45 (save $14) Get Deal Best Streaming Deal Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select $14.99 (save $25 with code FTVSELECT) Get Deal Best Tech Accessories Deal Apple AirTags, 1st Gen (4-Pack) $59.99 (save $39.01) Get Deal

Between inflation, a global memory shortage, and overall economic anxiety (trust me — I'm feeling it, too!), you don't want to miss a chance to save some money.

I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm only recommending genuine deals, because we all know big retailers like to play fast and loose with the definition of the word "deal."

So, whether you have an old laptop that needs replacing or want to check out last-chance deals on last-gen tech, check out my guide to the best Big Spring Sale tech deals.

Kindles starting at $94.99

I don't know what I'd do without my Kindle. As an avid book collector, I have literally run out of space to store books, and so I depend on my Kindle Paperwhite. And just like during Black Friday, you can grab my beloved Kindle on sale for $134.99, with the base Kindle available for under $100.

During the Big Spring Sale, you can shop wireless Sony headphones starting at just $48. On day one of the savings event, Sony's flagship cans, the famous XM6 headphones, are also discounted to $398, their best-ever price. I loved these headphones, and as I wrote in my review, "The ANC in the XM6 is as good as or better than any I've ever heard."

However, if you're looking for something in the mid-range, you can also grab the bass-heavy Sony ULT Wear Headphones on sale for $148, another Mashable Choice winner, at a 41% discount.

$459.99 Save $61.99   Get Deal Select MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches are all at record prices

Amazon always delivers solid Apple discounts during its big sales, and this time around, you can score record-low prices on M4 MacBook Airs, our favorite iPad Air, previous-generation Apple Watches, and even some of the newly released MacBook Pro laptops. See also: AirTags and AirPods. Even the brand-new AirPods Max 2 have a slight discount at Amazon.

Pro tip: If you're looking for the AirPods Max headphones, they're out of stock at Amazon but still available at Target and Walmart — for now.

Yes, technically, DJI drones are banned in the United States, but they're still widely available from third-party sellers at Amazon. (It's complicated.) If you're a creator, real estate professional, or wedding photographer who wants to take beautiful aerial videos in 4K — or just an aspiring pilot looking to have some fun outdoors — these drones are by far the most popular choice.

Please note: Due to the ongoing DJI drone ban, all DJI drones are sold through third-party sellers at Amazon. Do your research into the seller and shop accordingly.

Amazon Echo device deals

As per usual, some of the best deals of the spring Amazon sale are on Amazon's own products, particularly in the Echo lineup. I was at the fall 2025 event where Amazon unveiled its new Echo smart home products, which include refreshes to the popular Echo Dot and Echo Show devices. You can also grab Fire TV Sticks starting at just $14.99, letting you stream movies and enjoy cloud gaming at home.

During Prime Day, you can grab TVs starting at just $99. However, I recommend spending a little more than that. You can grab 55-inch Fire TVs at a very reasonable price, and Hisense has a good 65-inch QLED TV for just $377. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for good deals on my favorite TV: The Frame art TV from Samsung.

For the Big Spring Sale, Amazon is going hard with DJI deals, and you can find massive discounts on the brand's popular line of creator gadgets. I personally use the DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Mobile 7P Gimbal when shooting videos for Mashable (check our Instagram story to see my latest).

But let me also call your attention to the cult-favorite DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Vlogging camera, which almost never goes on sale like this. Pro creators and YouTubers are obsessed with this camera (in my review, I wrote, "it should replace whatever vlogging camera you're using now"), so grab it before it goes out of stock again!

Spring cleaning is a big theme during the Big Spring Sale, and one of our all-time favorite Shark vacuums is currently marked down to just $149. The Mashable-tested and approved Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum is a pet hair hero, but you can also save on the brand's popular robot vacuums, now up to 60% off.

Looking for a more premium cleaning machine, preferably one with lasers? Then you need a Dyson Detect stick vac. For the Big Spring Sale, you can grab one of the latest Dyson Detect vacuums, complete with the dust-illuminating laser attachment, while it's on sale.

$849.99 Save $250   Get Deal JBL Bluetooth speakers — save 27%

I'm a big fan of JBL's Bluetooth speakers. In my testing, they've beaten out more expensive Bluetooth speakers from brands like Bose and Sonos. They're also extremely portable, super easy to use, and totally waterproof, i.e. perfect for spring and summer hangouts.

$379.95 Save $80.01   Get Deal HEPA air purifiers for allergy season

Have you heard the bad news? Climate change is making seasonal allergies worse, which I can attest to firsthand. So, if you want to add some fresh air to your apartment or home, get a HEPA air purifier that can remove 99.98% of allergens, bacteria, and other microscopic particles. This Shark model is currently 45% off for Prime members, which is probably why it's almost sold out.

Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark HEPA Air Purifier — Large $179.99 at Amazon
$329.99 Save $150 Almost sold out! Get Deal A cloud gaming bundle

If you want to play games like Borderlands 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Hogwarts Legacy without buying an expensive console, try this bundle from Amazon. It includes a Fire TV streaming stick and a Luna gaming controller, letting you play games right on Fire TV.

$119.98 Save $55   Get Deal The Brick phone blocker

Have you heard of the viral gadget, The Brick? This humble little device blocks you from using your phone during set times so you can break your doomscrolling and screentime addiction — and it works! In her review, Mashable's Sam Mangino wrote that the Brick is "the only thing that cuts my screen time in half."

$59 Save $11.80   Get Deal An affordable foldable phone

If you're an Android user on the fence about getting a foldable phone, this deal could help you decide. The Motorola Razr Ultra was the most underrated phone of 2025, and I was impressed by its battery life, display, and design during testing. If you miss flip phones that slip easily into your pocket, then you'll appreciate this one.

SEE ALSO: Are foldable phones worth buying? As a tech editor, I say heck yes.

During the Amazon Spring Sale, this trendy little flip phone is $500 off at Amazon. It's far more affordable than Samsung's Z Flip 7, too.

The best TV deals at Amazons spring sale are budget QLEDs, coming from someone whos tracked TV prices for years

Mashable - 17 hours 27 min ago
The best Amazon Big Spring Sale TV deals at a glance: Best small TV deal Hisense 32-inch S5 DécoTV QLED FHD Fire TV $194.97 at Amazon (save $55.02) Get Deal Best 55-inch TV deal Hisense 55-inch Canvas QLED 4K TV $687.99 at Amazon (save $306) Get Deal Best 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch QM8K Mini LED QLED 4K TV $997.97 at Amazon (save $500) Get Deal Best 75-inch TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 Mini LED QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon (save $398) Get Deal

Most of the year's major flagship TVs announced in January are typically out by the end of March, cueing retailers to push deals on last year's TVs even harder. March was further established as one of the best months to buy a TV when Amazon started holding a massive annual spring sale. The 2026 Big Spring Sale runs from March 25 through 31, and a ton of Amazon TV deals are proving that the annual price drop cycle is real.

SEE ALSO: What to look for when buying a TV, as told through this easy TV specs guide

It's not just Amazon's in-house Fire TVs that see big discounts during the Big Spring Sale (Amazon Fire TVs are hardly the best TVs you can get for the money right now). I've been tracking new TV releases and comparing TV specs at Mashable for years, and I consistently find that the most worthwhile Amazon TV deals are from solid budget brands like TCL and Hisense, with a few sizes of Samsung's The Frame occasionally thrown in.

Pro tip: Best Buy tends to have way more options for deals on flagship Samsung and LG TVs. For instance, Samsung just released its 2026 Neo QLED TVs on March 24 — Best Buy's stock of on-sale 2025 versions of those TVs, like the QN70F and QN80F, has been much more stable than Amazon's this week. Amazon barely has any recent LG TVs in stock at all, while Best Buy has countless 2024 and 2025 QNED and OLED models on sale.

SEE ALSO: Best Buy’s Tech Fest is over, but these deals are still worth your money

At any rate, I'm tracking the best sales on TVs at Amazon throughout the end of the Big Spring Sale on March 31, with the rolling list updated as prices change. Every model featured here is at, or lower than, its previous best price based on data from camelcamelcamel, so these are genuinely competitive offers. I'm keeping a special eye out for fresh discounts across the models I've picked as the best 65-inch TVs you can buy so far this year.

Best Big Spring Sale TV deal Hisense 75-inch U7 QLED 4K TV $897.96 at Amazon
$1,297.99 Save $400.03   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

One TV that's actually beating its previous record-low sale price is the 2025 75-inch Hisense U7. Currently 31% off, it's $103 cheaper than it was just a month ago during Presidents' Day sales.

The 2026 version of the same TV was just unveiled on March 6, so a new price drop on the predecessor model certainly tracks. The 2026 75-inch U7 will cost $1,999.99 — more than $1,000 steeper than the 2025 model's $897.96 sale price. Those are the kind of steals I was talking about. The 65-inch model is also at a new record-low $697.96 if 75 inches is a bit larger than you'd like.

This mini LED model packs a serious punch for the price. Its brightness in SDR and HDR gets consistently great notes across the internet, with glare handling strong enough for most sunlit rooms. You don't always see a 165 Hz refresh rate in budget to mid-range TVs, so the Hisense U7 is a top contender for an XL gaming TV under $1,000.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is back for its third year, running now through March 31. The retailer is officially rolling out wide-ranging discounts across multiple categories, with prices dropping on items such as robot vacuums, TVs, and even daily essentials. And if there's one thing we can always guarantee, it's that this sale features plenty of solid, much-welcome Apple deals.

Apple has kept us very busy in 2026, and we've been hard at work testing the first-ever budget MacBook, upgraded MacBook Airs and MacBook Pros, a new iPad Air, and the iPhone 17e. Next on our Apple to-do list: the upcoming AirPods Max 2.

With so many new Apple products, we're seeing a bunch of first-time discounts during the Amazon spring sale, as well as new record-low prices on last-gen models like the Apple Watch SE 2. What more could you want from a major sale event?

We'll be tracking prices on AirPods, MacBooks, and iPads from now until March 31, so keep an eye on this page to make sure you're getting the lowest-possible price on Apple products.

We've always been fans of the AirPods Pro, but the third generation really takes them to new heights. Mashable's reviewer called them, "without a doubt, one of the best products of the year" in 2025.

The latest premium buds feature outstanding noise cancellation (twice as good as the Pro 2), a solid eight hours of battery life with ANC on, and new foam-infused tips that come in five sizes to find the perfect fit. Apple also brought the heart rate monitoring tech from the Powerbeats Pro 2 (our favorite earbuds for working out) and Fitness app compatibility to the new AirPods Pro 3, and introduced a live translation feature.

While we've seen the buds drop as low as $184 in the past, this Amazon spring sale discount is still worth grabbing.

This four-pack of Apple's Bluetooth trackers keeps going in and out of stock on Amazon, which is hardly surprising: It's never been cheaper there. (It dipped to $62.99 on Black Friday, but the $59.99 sale price is a new record-low price.) You wind up paying just $15 per AirTag. If it sells out, Walmart and Best Buy are both offering the same deal.

Just launched earlier this month, the 13-inch M4 iPad Air is already on sale for $84.50 off. The base configuration with WiFi connectivity and 128GB of storage is now just $714.50 (normally $799). Mashable's tech editor took the M4 iPad Air for a spin and found it pretty impressive — too impressive for the average user, even. "It delivers iterative updates that improve an already stellar tablet," he writes in his review.

Apple released its new MacBook Air with the M5 chip this month, but honestly, they're not a whole lot different than the M4 Airs. The main differences are the upgraded processor and a new wireless chip. You can save some money by grabbing the M4 model with 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage, which is currently down to just $949 at Amazon. We're keeping our eyes on this laptop, as we expect to see it drop further as the sale nears. But make note that since it is now an older model, it could sell out fast.

The Apple Watch Series 11 offers significant battery improvements over its predecessor. For that reason alone, it's worth the upgrade. It also features a tougher build with durable glass that's twice as resistant to scratches, 5G capability for quicker connectivity, and a Sleep Score and hypertension tool that can flag chronic high blood pressure. It's not a major upgrade (is anything in 2026?), but as Mashable's reviewer put it: "Buy it for the battery life." Now $100 cheaper, it's an even better value.

I found 22 noise-cancelling headphones to shop during the Amazon Spring Sale — ANC headphones start at $42

Mashable - Thu, 03/26/2026 - 23:49
Best noise-cancelling headphones deals in the Amazon Big Spring Sale: Best Overall Sony WH-CH720N Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones $98 (save $81.99) Get Deal Best flagship headphones deal Sony WH-1000XM6 $398 (save $61.99) Get Deal Budget Headphones Deal JLab JBuds Lux ANC Headphones $41.99 (save $38) Get Deal Best earbuds deal Sony WF-C710N $88 (save $41.99) Get Deal Best AirPods Deal Apple AirPods Pro 3 $199 (save $50) Get Deal Best Budget Earbuds Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds $58.99 ($50.01) Get Deal

As a headphones reviewer who's also covered the past two years of Amazon's Big Spring Sale, I knew that the seasonally-themed sale could bring some decent tech savings, even if they aren't quite Prime Day-worthy.

That is to say, I didn't expect the noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds deals to be as good as they are — at least as of day two of the weeklong sale. The only major omission so far has been from Bose (though the QuietComfort earbuds got a brief $40 markdown in the leadup to the sale). Sony's latest flagship releases, our budget-favorite EarFun earbuds, and even the newly announced Apple AirPods Max 2, on the other hand, are all on sale.

Sony's flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones may be on sale for $61.99 off, but if you can't afford to drop $400 on a new pair of headphones, then try these over-ears instead. They still received a positive review in our guide to the best Sony headphones, and they offer active noise cancellation and Sony's advanced audio features at a much more reasonable price.

While there are plenty of great noise-cancelling earbuds out there, not all of them can claim to offer a performance that beats the AirPods 4 while costing less than $100. With the Sony WF-C710N on sale for $88, that's exactly the case.

While this isn't the absolute lowest price we've caught these earbuds at (that would be $69.99), you'll still save an impressive 32% on them right now. And you'll get a pair of earbuds with solid ANC, a comfortable enough fit for at least a few hours of continuous wear, easy-to-use touch controls, classic, well-rounded Sony sound, and 8.5 hours of battery life per charge.

Check out our full review of the Sony WH-C710N.

Netflix prices going up yet again

Mashable - Thu, 03/26/2026 - 22:33

No, you aren't experiencing déjà vu. And no, you aren't accidentally reading a post from January 2025, which is the last time Netflix raised its prices.

Netflix is once again hiking the prices for its monthly streaming subscription service.

On Thursday, March 25, 2026, Netflix updated the "Plans and Pricing" page on its website and increased the subscription cost by $1 to $2 per month, depending on the plan. The price for a standard subscription is jumping from $17.99 per month to $19.99 per month. The standard subscription with ads is going from $7.99 to $8.99 per month. The Premium subscription, which includes 4K and extra simultaneous devices, has been raised from $24.99 to $26.99 per month.

The new prices go into effect immediately for new users. Netflix will update current subscribers about the price hike depending on their subscription's renewal date.

SEE ALSO: The 30 best comedies streaming on Netflix right now

The price to add extra users outside of your household is also going up by $1 too. An extra user will now cost $7.99 on a plan with ads or $9.99 on a subscription tier without ads.

Netflix had more than 325 million subscribers at the end of 2025, so the streaming giant clearly isn't too concerned about losing customers over the price increase. This is the company's fifth price increase over the past six years.

While Netflix users aren't getting anything new with the increased pricing, the streamer has been increasingly moving into the live event broadcasting space over the past year. Netflix airs WWE Raw live every Monday night. Just last night, Netflix was the live broadcaster for the MLB opening game between the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants. In addition, Netflix is continuing its live combat sport events with the upcoming Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano MMA fight in May.

It's possible that Netflix is now viewing itself as a service more in line with other live sports streamers like ESPN+ and looking to charge likewise. Plans for ESPN+, which broadcasts WWE's monthly Premium Live Events, for example, start at $29.99 per month.

Dont pass up this perk: How to score an Amazon Prime gas discount

Mashable - Thu, 03/26/2026 - 22:20

SAVE 10 CENTS PER GALLON: Prime members can save 10 cents per gallon at the pump at over 7,500 participating BP, Amoco, or AMPM gas stations.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Prime Perk: Save 10 cents per gallon on fuel   Get Deal

If you're trying to get as much as possible out of your Amazon Prime subscription, there's one little-known perk you may never have used. We're all trying to save some extra cash these days, and this Prime-centric membership offering can help you reclaim some coin at the gas pump. Yes, the Amazon Prime gas discount is real, and you can start using it today as long as you're a Prime member.

Here's what you need to know: Prime members can save 10 cents per gallon at the pump at over 7,500 participating BP, Amoco, or AMPM gas stations.

SEE ALSO: 40+ deals under $50 from Amazon's Big Spring Sale — Amazon devices, earbuds, video games

To be clear, this discount only applies to the 7,500 participating BP, Amoco, and AMPM locations that you can find via the Earnify app. You'll need to download it to take advantage of the deal, in fact, so you can find a participating location.

First, link your Amazon account to Earnify, then enter your phone number or use the Earnify app when checking out at one of the gas stations marked as a participating location. Amazon and Earnify offer you 5 cents a gallon, with your Prime membership adding an additional 5 cents for a 10-cent total discount up to a potential $70 saved per year on fuel.

The Earnify account is free, and you'll be eligible for your discount as long as you have a Prime membership. If you decide to cancel, however, you'll lose access. So to recap, visit a location found via the app, enter your phone number in the app, and start saving.

There's no expiration date for the perk, either. That means you can focus your attention on shopping the Big Spring Sale for now and get that cash back when you pump your gas every time you visit the gas station without rushing to redeem the deal.

Saving money on gas is something just about everyone can participate in, after all. All those cents do add up.

Ive been poring over the best laptop deals from Amazons spring sale, and its a MacBook show so far

Mashable - Thu, 03/26/2026 - 21:48
A quick look at Amazon's best Big Spring Sale laptop deals: Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $949 (save $250) Get Deal Best Windows laptop deal Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 (Intel Core Ultra 7 256V, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,199.99 (save $500) Get Deal Best gaming laptop deal Asus ROG Flow Z13 (AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $2,069.99 at Amazon (save $330 + free code for "Crimson Desert") Get Deal

I've spent the last three years as Mashable's resident laptop expert, a job I take very seriously. The fact of the matter is that a good computer usually isn't a cheap one, so I go to great lengths to make sure any laptop I recommend is worth the investment. Put another way: I'm very picky because I look bad if I tell you to buy an expensive machine that actually sucks.

I'm so picky that I also have opinions on where you should buy your laptop. Admittedly, Amazon usually isn't my first choice: It doesn't stock as many models as other tech retailers like Best Buy, and it's filled with listings from third-party sellers I don't fully trust. (They can have different customer service policies than Amazon itself, and they might be advertising misleading specs.) But there are always some good laptop deals available during Amazon's sitewide sales throughout the year — including its Big Spring Sale, live now through March 31.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, and Kindle deals

So far, the best laptop deals I'm seeing on Amazon this week involve MacBooks, MacBooks, and more MacBooks. Almost every Apple laptop from the past two years is on sale, if it's still in stock, with the biggest price cuts going to 2025's M4 MacBook Airs. They're all $200 to $300 off, making them significantly cheaper than their iterative M5 replacements, which Apple announced earlier this month. (Those are also on sale already, but only for about $50 off.)

Things are less exciting on the Windows side, but I managed to find a Samsung Galaxy laptop and an Asus gaming convertible on sale for record-low prices. Feel free to add those to your cart now. Several Microsoft Surface Laptop 7s are up to 26% off, but since all of them have been much cheaper before, I'd wait to see if their prices drop further later in the sale. It's very possible: An M5 MacBook Pro has gotten $70 cheaper on Amazon since the event started on Wednesday.

I've rounded up my top picks below. Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to a record-low price.

The 2025 MacBook Air is basically identical to its predecessor, save for its wireless chip and processor. (You're not missing out on much there: In our performance tests, the M4 version was only about six percent slower than the M5 model in both single- and multi-core workloads.) It features a vibrant Liquid Retina display, a backlit keyboard, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 12MP webcam with Center Stage support. At $949, this 13-inch configuration has never been cheaper.

This premium hybrid laptop features a crisp 16-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a slick 120Hz refresh rate. (At 3.73 pounds, it's pretty light for a device of its size.) Samsung has rated it for up to 25 hours of battery life per charge and throws in a free S Pen stylus for note-taking. Amazon is offering a Big Spring Sale discount of $500, which brings it down to a record-low price of $1,199.99. It's still full price at Best Buy and on Samsung's website, so don't bother buying it anywhere else.

The Asus ROG Flow Z13 is a zippy gaming convertible with a detachable keyboard and a buttery 180Hz display — GTA V's Ned Luke is a fan. This configuration is powered by a high-end AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chip with integrated graphics that performed on par with an RTX 4060 GPU when we tested it in another Asus laptop. Amazon has it marked down to $2,069.99, which is 14% off its MSRP and its best deal to date. (Ignore Amazon's deflated list price; it actually retails for $2,399.99, according to Asus' website.) It also comes with a free PC download code for Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss' huge new fantasy-action adventure game.

This ROG Flow Z13 deal is price-matched at Best Buy, but it doesn't include the Crimson Desert code there.
