Amazon Prime Day Is Tuesday, July 12

Prime Day Is Only for Prime Members

Prime members receive free, two-day shipping as well as access to the Amazon video and music library. With perks this good, you may just want to keep your membership for only $10.99 a month.
Take Advantage of Countdown Deals
Amazon is even offering special deals before the big day to make your shopping experience that much better. You can score major savings on everything from your fave gadgets to back-to-school-essentials. Brose the site for their daily specials.
Prime Day Is Bigger Than Black Friday
With over 100,000 deals popping up almost every five minutes across all categories, you’re bound to find something you love.
There Are Several Kinds of Sales
First, keep your eye out for Amazon Lightning Deals. These deals last for only a few hours, so you have to act quickly before others snatch it up. Each deal will have a status bar showing the percentage of items held by others as well as a timer revealing how long you have to get the deal. Note that you have just 15 minutes to check out in order to claim that deal. Then, there are Prime Spotlight sales, which are huge discounts on top brands until Amazon runs out of stock. Plus, you can shop Prime Savings and Sales all day long by browsing through different categories.
Set Alerts with the Amazon App
Have a feeling you’ll forget to sign in at the right time? Download the Amazon app to your phone and turn on “Your Watched and Waitlisted Deals” notifications in the menu. As long as you add a deal to your Watchlist, a push notification will remind you what time each item goes on sale.
