Tips to Save Big on Prime Day This Year

It’s not easy to get through the sales day these days, with the excitement of limited-time Lightning Deals and supply shortages. How can you get what you want while also saving money? Below are a few pointers to help you navigate Prime Day deals without getting fleeced or having your favorite product run out of stock:

1. Sign up for a free account on camelcamelcamel or install the Keepa browser extension to receive price drop alerts, price history charts, and other benefits.

2. If you are a student, you can receive a 6-month free trial of Prime and then pay $7.49 per month after that. If you are on government assistance, you can get Prime for half price at $6.99 per month.

3. Amazon is giving away a $20 gift card for spending $75 on Procter & Gamble items or purchasing a Lightyear movie ticket and merchandise. You may also earn rewards by purchasing gift cards.

4. Enter all the necessary account information before the big day, such as billing, shipping addresses, and payment methods. Even though this option isn’t always accessible on Lightning Deals, enabling 1-Click Ordering will help you quickly snag limited-time discounts.

5. During the Prime Day event, other major retailers, such as Walmart and Target, often hold sales running in parallel. So, before purchasing a product, be sure to check and compare prices.
