It's the season of deals... With the best Black Friday deals and the best Cyber Monday deals coming up in just a few weeks' time, retailers are wasting no time trying to lure more customers to their websites and locations. 

Step up, Amazon. Right now, you can get an Amazon Echo Dot speaker for just $0.99 when you sign up for Amazon Music Unlimited. That's a steal!

Save $48 - The Amazon Echo Dot is Amazon's best-selling voice-controlled speaker. Right now the retail giant is practically giving them away, when you sign up to Amazon Music Unlimited. It's $7.99 per month for Prime members, or $9.99 per month for non-Prime members. Deal ends: 13th November (or while stocks last)

Yes, you read that right: the Amazon Echo Dot is now just $0.99 – if you opt to sign up for Amazon Music Unlimited. The deal takes two forms, one for Prime members and the other for non-Prime members...

For Prime members

Sign up for Amazon Music Unlimited, which for Prime members is $7.99 a month. From there, you'll be able to reserve your Amazon Echo Dot for just $0.99. 

For non-Prime members

You'll still have to sign up for Amazon Music Unlimited, which for non-Prime members is $2 more at $9.99 a month. You'll be able to snag your Amazon Echo Dot for $0.99 after signing up.

Save $48 - This deal doesn't just offer an Echo Dot for less than $1: you'll also get one of the most popular music streaming services for $7.99 for Prime members and $9.99 for non-Prime members. Play one of the 50 million songs to choose from on your new device. Deal ends: 13th November (or while stocks last)

So, how much am I saving?

The Amazon Echo Dot normally retails at $49.99. While we've seen prices drop to as low as $24.99 on a few occasions, this deal is unusually good. Ultimately, you'll get the whole package for less than $11, whether you're a Prime member or not. 

If you're wondering whether it's worth it, we can tell you that it definitely is. Not only will you be getting a top-notch smart speaker for close to nothing, but you'll get access to a massive music library with 50 million songs. Your membership is ad-free, has unlimited skips, and offers hands-free listening with Alexa. What's more, you can listen to Amazon Music Unlimited on any device. 

But what if you don't really want to pay monthly for Amazon Music Unlimited? That's not a problem: you can cancel your membership renewal at any time after your promotional first month.

This Amazon Echo Dot deal is very similar to Spotify's massive giveaway, which was announced earlier this week: eligible Spotify Premium subscribers can reserve a Google Home Mini, free of charge

The deal runs through November 15th, but don't sleep on it - the deal is only valid while supplies last!
