- Over the course of its five-year history, Amazon Prime Day has become one of the largest online annual shopping events the internet has seen.
- While Amazon hasn’t released the date of Prime Day 2019 just yet (we think it’ll be in mid-July), there are some things you can do to prepare yourself for one of the biggest days of the year for great discounts.
- The Amazon app is simple and easy way to shop smarter this Prime Day. Here’s how to use the Amazon app to your advantage for Prime Day 2019.
Amazon Prime Day may be a made-up holiday invented by the retail behemoth, but it’s surely something worth celebrating.
For one day each year (two last year) Prime members get exclusive access to hundreds of thousands of deals on the site. While Amazon Prime offers many perks, Prime Day’s serious savings may be enough of a reason on its own to snag a membership. But to shop all of the great Prime Day deals you need an Amazon Prime membership, so if you aren’t one already, you should sign up for a free 30-day trial sometime before Prime Day.
We may not know the official date yet (though it always seems to fall mid-July), but there’s no such thing as being too prepared. We’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about Amazon Prime Day 2019 — including some great deals our readers loved last year and some predictions we think people will be excited about this year, too.
The Amazon app is one of the quickest, easiest ways to prep for Prime Day. It allows you to see deals before they go live, and will alert you when the deal you’re interested in goes live. This is useful all year round, but is particularly helpful on Prime Day when daily deals offer even steeper discounts and change out more frequently.
Below, I’ll walk you through exactly how to use the app to make sure you never miss a Prime Day deal on something you want.
