What is Amazon® Prime Day?

Amazon® Prime Day is an annual shopping event exclusively for Amazon® Prime members. Amazon® Prime Day this year starts on June 21st and lasts only 48 hours.

Amazon® Prime Day is packed with awesome deals, exciting product launches, live entertainment, and more, exclusively for Prime members.

With mega-retailers battling for consumer spending, events like Amazon® Prime Day offer additional savings opportunities. Not just on Amazon®, but also with many other retailers as well.

Pro tip: Look out for sales from Walmart, eBay, Best Buy, Target and more during the same timeframe.

To participate in Amazon® Prime Day, all you need is an Amazon® Prime subscription, a computer or a smartphone, and a credit or debit card linked to your Prime account!

Amazon® offers a free 30-day Prime membership trial, so if you’re not a prime member you may be in luck.  If you’re a student, Prime Student costs $59 per year which is 50% less than a traditional membership, and it offers many of the same perks with a 6-month free trial instead of just 30 days.
