Read about What to Expect from the 2023 Prime Day Sale!
- Invitation Only: NEW THIS YEAR: Since the deepest discounted deals sell out so quickly, Amazon is offering a new invite-only program. On the right side of the product page, click “Request Invite” and this gives you the chance to be invited to purchase that item at the deal price. This is supposed to help keep bots from grabbing all of the items.
- Download the App – if you haven’t already, grab the Amazon app! Click on the Prime Day banner, and it will take you to a page full of discounts, coupons, deals, and even upcoming deals. You’ll be able to create alerts for items in your browsing history, too – this means you’ll get notifications when the items you need & want are on sale during Prime Day! Even better, you may qualify for a $5 Amazon Credit with your first app purchase! Live notifications can be sent over the two day event, as well – so you don’t miss the sale you want.
- Make a Wishlist – Creating a wishlist prior to the sale can help you reduce impulse shopping. This is an awesome time to consider holiday shopping plans, as well. Just click “Add to List” under “Buy Now” on each product. When Prime Day hits, go to your settings, then “Your List” to see which of those items are on sale. When those items go on sale, you can get notifications to your phone of price drops!
- Get Prime – Obviously, you’ll want to score Prime membership, OR get the free trial prior to Amazon Prime Day.
- Watch for Bundles – We anticipate the trend of electronic and tech bundles to continue this year, as with past years. These may include things like smart plugs with smart devices or home security bundles. These bundles are a great way to save money!
- No Rush Shipping – Some deals may offer a great perk for extended shipping. If you don’t need your package in 2 days, choose No Rush Shipping and you’ll likely be offered a digital credit just for being patient.
- Prime Flags – As you shop, you’ll see red boxes with the price and either “deal” or “with Prime” to alert you of a Prime Day deal. These are items that are either exclusive to Prime members, OR discounts especially for Prime members. Watch these flags for the best deals.
- Shop Amazon Tech – Some of the lowest deals of the year on Amazon tech (Audible, Kindle, Alexa, etc.) are on sale during Amazon Prime Day. The next time these will hit rock bottom pricing is Black Friday.
- Ask Alexa – Based on previous years, you should be able to ask Alexa “Alexa, what are my Prime Day deals?” and be offered the deals prior to (about 2 days) the official launch of those deals!
- Watch FreebieShark – We will be pinning a roundup post of the best Amazon Prime Day deals to the top of FreebieShark, so you can access them quicker & easier! This list will be updated throughout the entire 2 days of Prime Day sales.
