Amazonโs legendary two-day Amazon Prime Day event officially begins at 3 a.m. EST on July 16th, and comes to a close at 3 a.m. EST on July 17th.
No! Some deals will be exclusively available on the 16th, while other sales wonโt start until the 17th.
On top of that, many Prime Day deals will be offered as Limited Deals, where theyโll be available for a certain number of hoursโor before the sale item runs outโwhichever comes first! If you see an impressive deal on something that grabs your attention, I highly recommend buying it while you still can.
If the idea of saving big on electronics, kitchen goods, beauty supplies, toys, and more sounds great, the only thing you need to take advantage of the deals is a Prime Membership.
Anyone who regularly buys from Amazon should consider the array of perks that come with a subscription, and these include free shipping on thousands of items, access to Prime Video streaming, and most importantly, the ability to shop the Prime Day discounts.
If youโve never been a Prime Member before, Amazon offers a 30-day trial, so newcomers can enjoy Prime Day to its fullest. Prime is available for $14.99 per month, and $139 for an annual subscription.
Yes. The big money-saving Prime Day sales will be available exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers.
Once youโve signed up as a member of Amazon Prime, itโs worth familiarizing yourself with Amazonโs layout and how the shopping platform functions so you donโt miss out on timed sales as they happen. (Our guide to Amazon shopping tips and strategies is also a good resource for getting ready for Prime Day.) Be sure to fill out your payment details ahead of time as well for a smooth and speedy checkout!
Prime Day can seem a bit chaotic if you arenโt prepared, but there are a few techniques to help secure the best deals for you.
Browse Amazon before Prime Day and create a wish list of anything that catches your eye. Visit your wish list often for unexpected sales and Lightning Deals, which rarely last for more than a few hours and often sell out quickly.
Check early and oftenโalthough the deals arenโt as frequent as Prime Day itself, the days and weeks leading up to Prime Day will offer some impressive sales for observant Prime Members.
Be careful! Itโs best to buy directly from Amazon or trusted third-party sellers who use Amazon as a storefront such as Best Buy and Apple. Otherwise, you may not be getting the best price or free Prime shipping.
While Prime Day gets the lionโs share of attention from summertime shoppers, there are excellent deals to be had at a variety of other retailers such as Walmart, Target, Kohlโs, Bed Bath & Beyond, Home Depot, Wayfair, Books-A-Million, and more. Thereโs no doubt that there will be plenty of steep sales and deep discounts for Prime Day, but I encourage you to shop around just in case a better deal exists for the computers, hardware, video games, and other goodies on your personal wish list.
