UPDATE: Now that we are here, looking Prime Day, 7//12/16, right in the eye, I just want to fill you in with a few updates.
Prime Day starts at 12:00 midnight Pacific time, which means 3:00 a.m. Eastern time, and yes, I will be up all through the night and tomorrow, with a coffee I.V. stuck in my arm, faithfully pointing you towards THE BEST Prime Day deals.
Amazon claims that they will be bringing you 100,000 new deals. I will NOT be bringing you 100,000 new deals. But I'll probably be showing you the best 100 or so. And I hope you'll join me right here.
Here's everything you need to know so far; I'm going to break it down for you and run through some of the current discounts and Prime Day "rules" that we already know about. I hope this will make the whole Prime Day thing a little less overwhelming.
When does Prime Day start?
Tonight, 7/12/16, at:
- 12:00 midnight Pacific
- 1:00 a.m. Central
- 2:00 a.m. Mountain
- 3:00 a.m. Eastern
Is it going to be like last year's Prime Day?
Amazon has listened and addressed all of the concerns and complaints about their first Prime Day and the way things are looking, this Prime Day is going to be killer.
Do you have enough coffee?
I'm not ot a Prime member. How do I get in on the action? What if I already used up my Prime trial?
Not a member of Amazon Prime yet, but really want to take advantage of all these Prime Day deals? Now is a great opportunity to get on board the Prime train with this FREE 30-day Amazon Prime trial. (Cancel before the end of the trial period and pay nothing.)
If you already used up your free Amazon Prime trial offer, another option is to sign up for just one month of Prime for $10.99 over here. (Cancel right before the start of the new month and you'll pay for just one month's worth of Prime.)
How do I keep up with Daily Cheapskate updates on Prime Day?
I thought you'd never ask. Instructions are right here.
So what kind of deals will be available on Prime Day?
There will be three types of deals available on Prime Day:
- Prime Day Spotlight Deals: Spotlight Deals feature top brands and popular items with deep discounts that last until Amazon runs out of stock. These are the best deals you'll find on Prime Day. You can find the best of these posted on Daily Cheapskate and links to those posts on Facebook and Twitter.
- Amazon Lightning Deals: a Lightning Deal is a promotion that lasts for a short time, usually just a few hours. I'm guessing that on Prime Day, because there will be such low prices, Lightning Deals will go for just a few minutes. Because of the time element involved, I'll be posting about the best of these Lightning Deal directly on the Daily Cheapskate Facebook page.
- Prime Savings and Deals: promotions that run all day or within Prime Day. I'll be posting these as soon as they are released, on Daily Cheapskate and links to those posts on Facebook and Twitter.
- Right up until Prime Day. Amazon is releasing a few Prime-members-only "Countdown Deals" You can find the Prime Deals of the Day here, along with Amazon's Gold Box deals here. Amazon release new deals each day at 12:00 a.m. PST.
- Have you got an Amazon.com Rewards Visa Card? On Prime Day, July 12, 2016, you can get $30 off your purchase when you spend $150 or more on items shipped and sold by Amazon.com, pay for it with an Amazon Rewards Visa Card, and enter promo code VISA30 at checkout. (Offer excludes gift cards.)
- Do you own an Amazon Echo or Amazon Tap? From now through Prime Day, 7/12/16, order anything on Amazon through Alexa (the voice of Tap or Echo) and get $10.00 off your order (first order only; minimum order, $20), along with special pricing.
