Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner, with the 48-hour sales event kicking off on Tuesday, July 16, at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT and running until Wednesday, July 17. This year marks Amazon’s 10th Prime Day extravaganza. While the exact number of items on sale remains a mystery, past years have seen millions of products with discounts averaging around 40%. The early deals are already live, so be sure to check them out.

During Prime Day, there are three types of deals to keep an eye out for:
1) Spotlight Deals: These are big-ticket items available for a limited time.
2) Gold Box Deals of the Day: These are smaller items with discounts for a limited time.
3) Lightning Deals: These deals are the most popular and offer the best prices but are only available for a short time or until they sell out.

To make the most of Prime Day, here are some expert tips:
– Create a Wishlist on Amazon to keep track of items you want to buy.
– Join the waitlist for sold-out products, as items in another shopper’s cart may become available.
– Download the Amazon app to see deals first and set up notifications.
– Use voice shopping with Alexa for exclusive offers.
– Compare prices with other retailers to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
– Shop safely online and protect your personal information.

If you don’t have an Amazon Prime membership, there are ways to access Prime Day deals:
– Sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime.
– Students can get a 6-month free trial with a .edu email address.
– Those with Medicaid or EBT cards can get Prime membership for $6.99.

You can also share your Prime membership with another adult in your Amazon Household to enjoy the benefits together. Additionally, be cautious of unknown brands, fake reviews, and overpaying by checking price histories.

As Prime Day approaches, the excitement builds for a whirlwind of exclusive deals and savings. Remember to be quick and strategic when shopping to make the most of the limited-time offers. Set your alarms, create your wishlists, and stay vigilant to outsmart the rush and grab the best deals.
