Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What’s the best way to prepare for the Prime Day sale?

  • Have a Prime membership. Having an Amazon Prime membership will allow you to access these beauty deals.
  • Update payment methods. Ensure your preferred payment information is updated on your Amazon account for the smoothest checkout experience.
  • Wishlist and research. You can create a wishlist of items you’d like and research their average prices beforehand to help you identify the best deals.
  • Price alerts. You can use browser extensions or apps that track price history and alert you when wishlist items go on sale.
  • Download the app. The Amazon app provides easier access to deals and Lightning Rounds, potentially giving you an edge on limited-time offers.

Tips for finding the best Prime Day deals

  • Compare prices. Don't blindly trust discounts — you’ll want to compare prices across various retailers before Prime Day to ensure you get the best deal.
  • Beware of fake discounts. Not all Prime Day deals are actually good. Compare historical prices to identify significant discounts.
  • Focus on needs. Stick to your budget and prioritize needs over wants. Avoid impulse purchases that might break the bank.
  • Check for lighting deals. These are limited-time, high-quantity discounts that disappear quickly. Be prepared to act fast if you see one you like.
  • Add to cart & watchlist. Add the items you want to your cart or wishlist to track prices and be notified of any changes.

What retailers offer the best Prime Day alternatives?
