“Alexa, add all of the amazing Prime Day deals to my cart.”

Amazon sure has come a long way, and has really grown into a one-stop site for online shopping! Back in 2015, Amazon decided to celebrate their 20th anniversary by initiating the first ever Prime Day. It became such a hit, that Amazon decided to make the member only sales event a yearly tradition. The retailer’s biggest sale event features 2 days of special savings on thousands of items across all product categories.

Prime Day normally occurs in July, but because of the 2020 events (thanks COVID) and staffing shortages, it was delayed until October. This year, the sale will last a total of 48 hours, beginning at 12AM PDT on Tuesday, October 13 and concluding at 11:59PM PDT on Wednesday, October 14, 2020.

To make the most of this year’s Prime Day, make sure you do the following things:

Get an Amazon Prime Account

Since Amazon Prime Day is available only to Amazon Prime members, it’s important that you establish your membership first and foremost. There are plenty of ways you can start your membership experience, some without even paying…

Start your fre e trial. Amazon will allow you to try out a Prime membership for 30 days free of charge. Amazon is pretty sure that you’ll love it so much, you’ll be sure to stick around! Included with your free trial, you’ll have access to the notorious fast, free two-day shipping, along with Prime Video, ad-free music streaming, unlimited photo storage and unlimited reading. After your free trial ends, your membership will cost $12.99 per month or $119 per year.
Start your student free trial. If you have an .edu student email address, then you’re in business. Courtesy of Sprint, students can receive a free 6-month trial.
Use your government assistance discount. Individuals who carry a valid Electronic Benefits Transfer or Medicaid card can get a Prime membership for only $5.99/month.

Download the Amazon Shopping App

Shopping from your phone just got even easier when you download and use the Amazon shopping app, available in both the Apple and Android app stores.

Even better, be sure to enable the “deal notifier” so you never miss a deal. Tap the options icon in the bottom menu to navigate to view your Settings. Scroll to your “Programs and Features” and tap on “Deals”, then tap the “Upcoming” tab. Find a deal that you want and tap “Watch this deal” to get notified when it starts.

Finally, don’t forget to add your payment method and ensure your default delivery address is set, so that you can snag your desired deals in a timely fashion.

Make sure Alexa is ready

Before the big event, make sure Alexa is ready to roll, because when the deals drop, Alexa can help direct you. Simply ask her “Alexa, what are my Prime Day deals?” and she’ll give the deets on all the greatest offers that are live.

Now that you’re ready to shop, I’ve got some exciting news….you can start shopping now with some early Prime Day deals!!
