Amazon Prime Day 2024 begins at 12:00 am Pacific time July 16th. It ends at 11:59 Pacific time on July 17th. While youโll get some of the best deals on the 16th and 17th, Amazon has released some early Prime Day deals that you can take advantage of now.
Many Prime Day deals are available on both the 16th and 17th, but some deals are only available for a limited time. Lightning deals will be periodically released across both days, and these deals run for a limited time or until theyโre sold out. Be sure to check back regularly for those lightning deals and make your purchases right away to get the best discounts.
During Prime Day, Amazon Prime members can access exclusive Prime deals. During Prime Day, you will need to buy the items youโre interested in while the deals are active. Inventory is limited for certain deals, like Lightning deals, so itโs important to complete the checkout process to buy an item that youโre interested in.
For 2024, Amazon is offering Invite-Only deals. These are exclusive deals on some top brands, and you must request an invite to be eligible for these deals. You can find Invite-Only deals by shopping the deals page, and you can request an invite before Prime Day starts. If selected, youโll receive an invitation via email and text once Prime Day starts.
Yes, only Amazon Prime members can get the Amazon Prime Day deals. You can become a member at any time. Currently, a Prime membership costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year, and a 30-day trial is available for new memberships. In addition to the ability to get Amazon Prime Day deals, your Prime membership includes other perks, like numerous free shipping options.
If you are a Prime Video-only member, you arenโt eligible to buy Prime Day deals and will need to upgrade your membership to get those deals. If you arenโt an Amazon member, you can still buy the deal items, but will pay the non-discounted price.
Since inventory is limited on some deals, itโs a good idea to start researching deals early. This guide highlights some of the best Prime Day deals under $50 to help you get started.
Take the time to make a list of items that you need or want to buy. Prime Day can be a great time to stock up on discounted household essentials like dish soap and toiletries, so take an inventory of what you need to replenish. Think about any appliances you might need to upgrade soon, and make a list of any gifts you need to purchase for upcoming birthday parties or other holidays. With a list of items you need to buy, you can easily search Amazon Prime Day sales.
Several Amazon shopping tips and strategies can help you find the best Prime Day deals. To start, use guides like this one to research the best deals ahead of time, and make a list. Shop early and often, and check out quickly, especially when buying a Lightning deal. Remember, just because an item is in your shopping cart doesnโt mean you own it; you need to complete the checkout process before youโve actually bought the item.
To keep track of deals, use the Amazon Shopping app. You can set deal alerts so youโre notified when items youโve recently searched for go on sale. Using the app can help ensure you donโt miss out on any deals on items youโve been researching and are considering buying.
Be sure to comparison shop and verify pricing, too. Prime Deals can be a great way to save money, but you might also find better deals offered by competitors providing their own special discounts to compete with Amazon.
Several other retailers, including Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and Costco, often offer their own Prime Day sales. These retailers offer discounts often close to, or even better than Amazonโs sales. If youโre considering buying a product from Amazon, take a few minutes to check other retailers to see if you can get a better deal.
