Pro Tips to Maximize Your Savings

Once you’ve snagged your free trial or discounted membership, use these smart strategies to conquer Prime Day:

Download the Amazon App & Set Alerts: Don’t miss a flash sale. You can add items to your watch list in the app, and Amazon will send a push notification the second the deal goes live.

Use Alexa to Build Your List: You can tell your Echo device, “Alexa, add [item] to my Prime Day list.” Alexa can track price drops for you automatically.

Watch for Lightning Deals: These are deeply discounted items that only last for a few hours (or until they sell out). Check the “Today’s Deals” tab frequently during the event.
