Amazon is featuring Prime Day [1] today. Prime Day now appears to be an annual event each year on July 11.
I still don’t think the “deals” are as great as other times during the year. I think this is more of an opportunity for Amazon to clean out their warehouses before the holiday season. However, if you can find what you need on sale, today could be a great day to buy.
Amazon Prime Day Offers
Besides the deals, there are a few offers that caught my eye for ways to get $10 off your orders with Alexa and some great gift card deals.
If you are planning to shop today, here are the Prime Day deals and lightning deals [1].
How to Get $10 Off Alexa Orders
- Order an item using Alexa from the Alexa deals page [2] over $20.
- Get a $10 credit applied to your account in 3 days.
You can also ask “Alexa, what are your deals?”
One of the featured deals is 30% off the Echo dot [3], which I used this morning to ask about the deals!
Amazon Gift Card Deals
There are lots of Amazon Gift Card Deals [4] today for Prime day! You’ll have to act fast, I already see plenty that are sold out!
How to Get a $70 Amazon Gift Card and 5% Amazon Cash Back
Don’t forget to stack your Amazon purchases today with your 5% cash back on the Amazon Visa card [5].
If you don’t have the card, it has a $70 gift card you get instantly when you are approved. I got my gift card added to my account the same day I applied.
Prime Membership
To get in on the Prime deals today, you must be a member of Amazon Prime. If you don’t have a paid membership, you can use a free trial [6].
