What is Amazon Prime Day and when is it?

Amazon Prime Day is a retail "holiday" created by Amazon in 2015 to compete with Black Friday and is usually celebrated in mid-July. These days, the price of practically everything you can find on Amazon is lowered, including beauty products, toys, electronics, and much more. This year, Amazon Prime Day will take place on July 11 and 12. We tell you everything you need to know to make the most of it.

How to participate?

Getting involved in Amazon Prime Day is simple. You just need to create an Amazon Prime account. You can sign up for a monthly subscription at $14.99 (you can cancel at any time), or a yearly subscription for $139. If you only want to make the most of Amazon Prime Day, then it is recommended that you just sign up for a monthly subscription. You can also see if you are not eligible for a free monthly trial of Amazon Prime (which you can cancel afterwards to avoid paying).

It is simple to sign up for an Amazon Prime monthly or yearly subscription:

What are the best Prime Day 2023 deals?

Amazon starts posting some of the Prime Day deals two weeks before it starts. Also, based on previous deals, we can expect big discounts on the Kindle range of e-readers, the Amazon Fire TV Stick, the Echo Dot, and subscription services like Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Music. If you want to keep abreast of the news that is revealed, you can also check the Prime Day page.

In addition to the deals advertised on the site, you'll also have access to flash deals and deals of the day, giving you a chance to find bigger discounts on the most popular items. Flash offers only appear for a few hours, and usually have the most interesting reductions. To discover them, you must connect to their website often since, in addition to being ephemeral, the units are generally limited.

On the other hand, the offers of the day are available for 24 hours (although they are also subject to availability). Since they stay on the Prime Day site longer, they tend to be for well-known brands or high-demand items. On the site, you could browse by offers or by category (technology, Amazon basics, etc.) depending on what you are looking for.
