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.
