Amazon Prime Day Hacks Every Savvy Shopper Should Know
Bargain hunters, start your engines. It’s that time again. Every year, Amazon customers eagerly await Prime Day and its accompanying deals. We’re talking epic discounts, unmissable bargains, and exclusive perks. So if you’re looking to make the most of this major online event, we’ve got some of the best and brightest hacks to help you out.
1. Join the Waitlist for a second chance
Missing out on a deal doesn’t necessarily mean game over: there’s still a way to stay in the loop. By hitting “Join Waitlist,” you’ll be notified and in line to swoop in should the customer ahead of you have their transaction go south. Maybe they don’t pay for the item, or they simply change their mind about what they want. It’s easily done in the frantic Prime Day atmosphere!
2. Look out for Lightning Deals
If you don’t know what Lightning Deals are, you’ll soon get the idea. These limited-time offers can last for as little as 15 minutes or up to a few hours. And they’re limited to one for each customer. A great way to get shoppers clicking quickly, Lightning Deals require customers to be quick on the draw but steady of mind! Head to the Prime Day page to track them down.
3. Check out Amazon products
It may sound obvious, but because Amazon sells a whole range of brands, it’s easy to forget about their own products. On Amazon Prime Day, it’s a surefire way of finding some great deals. Because it makes so many items, from Kindles to clothing, you have a lot to choose from.
4. Show some love for pre-loved items
The temptation with any product on sale is to go with brand new. You probably buy used a lot anyway, though, so it makes sense to take maximum advantage of low prices for untouched merchandise when the big sales roll around. Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t make additional savings by going with some refurbished hardware or general pre-loved goodies.
