TECHNOLOGY TIPS – Amazon Prime Day

Amazon Prime Day is back for its second year.  Prime Day is “a one-day only global shopping even exclusively for Prime members… Members in the U.S. can shop starting at midnight PT, with new deals starting as often as every five minutes throughout the day.”

Happening on July 12 according to Amazon, “From TVs to headphones and slow cookers to vitamins — Prime Day will include deals on things you want, things you need, and everything in between.” Last year there were complaints from consumers that the deals didn’t exactly match a consumer’s needs as well as the start time being unfair to those on the West Coast. Because of this, Prime Date begins at midnight Pacific Time.

You’ll want to be on the lookout for the three different types of deals. The best deals are Spotlight Deals. Lightning Deals are for a limited time, usually 1-3 hours. And the final are simply called Savings and Deals.  Owners of the Amazon Echo can use their Prime membership to make purchases before the big day.
