- When is Amazon Prime Day 2022
and what can you expect this Amazon Prime Day?
These are the top 10 things you need to know
in the first spot Amazon Prime Day, July 12th and 13th.
This two day Black Friday ask event
can bring substantial savings
if you know how to work the system,
which I'll explain throughout the video.
One of the big questions I get is,
when does Amazon drop its best deals?
Is the first thing in the morning around 9:00 AM
to noon Eastern standard time.
When everyone on the East Coast heads to work
and they're in front of a computer.
Amazon wants to take advantage of that captive audience
and showcase many of its best deals.
And then again, around lunchtime for the East Coast.
When other parts of the country including the West Coast
are getting in front of their computers
for the first time at work,
Amazon will continue to crank out many of the best deals.
This year there are also some brand new Prime Day perks
which brings you to point two,
Amazon will pay you $10 to do what you may already be doing.
Amazon has created its own self-serving scavenger hunt,
they call Stamps.
All you have to do is activate your Stamp card,
and I have created a link below.
Where as long as you are a Prime member
and make a Prime eligible purchase
or you stream a show on Prime Video, which is free
or listen to a song with Prime Music also free
or borrow an eBook on Prime Reading,
which you don't even have to read.
Amazon will pay you $10 just for doing that.
And later on in this video,
I'll explain how you could unlock $60
in free Amazon credits.
Point three, Amazon Prime Day
will be very different this year.
Just look at the state of the economy
and whether you love Amazon
or you don't particularly love Amazon.
I'm gonna explain different ways
to make this huge savings occasion work for you.
But one of the Shopping Cart hacks
that will benefit you on Prime Day.
If you're wondering when items will drop in price
and how to better prepare yourself,
is simply add any item that you are contemplating purchasing
to your Shopping Cart, which is what I am doing here.
Instead of completing your purchase,
save each item for later.
Then when Prime Day begins,
you'll have all of the items bookmarked essentially
for you in your Shopping Cart.
And you'll quickly see
whether there's been an actual price drop.
And during these tough times,
while a $5,000 surround sound home theater system
might not put food on the table.
When it comes to household essentials
and grocery items, products for new parents,
we're definitely now buying diapers again in my household.
You will see savings on all of those essential items,
in addition to some of the luxury higher end products.
However, if you have a budget that can accommodate
some of the bigger ticket items on your wishlist.
The best sales this year are on smart home products
like Robot Vax, Video Doorbells and Cameras,
kitchen items like Air Fryers and Nespresso Machines.
You'll also see significant savings on larger tech items.
As an example of what Prime Day pricing looks like,
like this Toshiba 55-inch TV,
56% off even a 55-inch TV for $299
is not only a reality on Black Friday.
If you're in the market for a new computer,
Prime Day laptop deals reduced by 73%
like what you see on my screen right now.
Just a hint of what I'll be showcasing right here
if you are subscribed,
you're also welcome to join
my insider deal guide texting club list.
Just send a text message to 4402982181, that's my number.
I'll be cross checking prices,
and let me hook you up with the best Prime Day deals.
Point four, you do not need to be a paid Amazon Prime member
to shop on Prime Day.
And there are some Amazon Prime membership discounts
which I'll discuss in a moment.
But first, if you are not yet a Prime member
you can activate a free 30 day trial
which I've linked to below.
I do use affiliate links,
which means I benefit if you click one of my links,
but you will benefit with a free 30 day trial
that you can always cancel after Prime Day.
If you are a student,
not only do you get a free six month trial
by signing up right now,
but after that, your membership is 50% off.
If you are receiving government assistance,
your rate is also reduced by 50%
after the free 30 day trial.
Point five, it's my opinion that you should not
buy anything made by Amazon prior to Prime Day,
no matter how good those so-called early Prime Day deals
happen to look on Amazon products.
And whether it's this refurbished Echo Show deal
or an older Kindle that's also used,
you'll find much better deals
tied to new products on Amazon Prime Day itself.
Many people also don't realize
that Amazon owns many product lines
that you might also wanna avoid leading into Prime Day.
Blink home security is an example,
the Rings Stick Up Cameras and Video Doorbells,
this refurbished one, also not a particularly strong deal.
And on Prime Day itself,
you'll wanna pay very close attention
to the warehouse from which your products ship.
One of the more common complaints I hear from shoppers
after Prime Day, is they never received what they ordered
or they were not able to return it.
Let's use this Beats Flex wireless earphone
early Prime Day deal as an example,
it'll take around one to two weeks to ship
from when I order.
It's $33 and chances are by the time Prime Day hits,
you can actually get a brand new pair of Beats
for roughly the same price that will ship quickly.
On Prime Day itself pay very close attention
to the shipping origins of any so-called deal
that you're considering.
For this All-Clad Electric Pressure Cooker,
you're gonna notice that it ships
from a merchant called Abra You Buy Co. USA incorporated,
and I'm not trying to pick on these merchants as an example,
but for this product that doesn't have
a particularly fast shipping speed.
This relatively recent Amazon merchant
only has 67% positive feedback based on six lifetime orders.
If you care about your shipping times
or that Amazon returns process
that many of us appreciate,
you'll wanna ensure there's that Prime check mark
beside the price
and that your product actually ships
from an Amazon warehouse
or an Amazon partner that fulfills their orders
through Prime.
Point six, this year, you can unlock an additional $60
in Amazon Prime credits,
plus some freebees which I'll get to in a moment.
But for many brands from which you may already be shopping,
if you are buying more than $75 of Proctor
and gamble products, as an example,
you'll get a $20 Prime Day credit,
assuming you already want to buy Cascade, Tide PODS,
Bounty, Gillette, Olay
or any of the other products they have listed,
this $20 credit is your complete advantage.
And I should mention this video is not sponsored,
Amazon is not paying me to make this video.
One other Prime Day freebie that really peaked my interest
is that Amazon is giving away more than 30 free games
beginning on July 13th.
Point seven, many deals we would not typically
see on Prime Day will happen this year.
Prime Day is typically very heavy on fashion,
gaming and tech deals,
and many of those tech deals come from brands
you've never heard of.
This year expect many more deals
from major brands including Apple.
Aggressively reduced AirPods, Mac Desktops, Notebooks, iPads
and even an unlocked iPhone deal
will all be a reality on Amazon Prime Day.
Point eight, you can stack coupons
with your Prime Day purchase,
and many of these coupons could lower your price up to 70%.
I'll show you a couple of examples in a moment.
But first, a lot of you are very familiar
with the clickable coupons
you typically see on a product page.
But what many people don't know
is there's a dedicated coupon page on Prime Day,
which you can incorporate into your deals,
which I'll have on the list that I feature right here
on YouTube and the ones that I text out.
But just as an example,
you could save an additional 70% on something like this,
very well rated lighting fixture
if you simply knew what coupon to apply
and where you could find it.
Even on something like cycling shoes
that are already reduced from a hundred bucks down to $80,
you could save an additional $60
and lower your price to just 20 bucks.
If you play the coupon game,
which of course I'll be covering right here on Prime Day.
Before I reveal a somewhat hidden section of amazon.com
you'll want on your radar for Prime Day.
Point nine, is a reminder to check
competing stores leading into Prime Day,
where many retailers, including Walmart and Best Buy
have been known to roll out their own
counter Prime Day sales in an attempt to lure in shoppers.
I'll be sure to highlight any of those huge legit deals
right here that you don't wanna miss.
Before I showcase a Prime Day bonus
to possibly make you feel better
about where your money goes on Prime Day.
For my next point, make sure you bookmark
the Amazon Warehouse Bargain Bin page,
which I've linked to below, on Prime Day,
as a way to find additional discounts
on some quality pre-owned products.
Many of which have some great additional
warranties tied to them.
I'm never a big fan of used or refurbished products
unless they are backed by a warranty.
And one of the nice things,
if you are shopping on Prime Day or in general
tied to the Amazon warehouse,
is that not only could you save 42%,
which is $137 on the cost
but this renewed product is backed
by the Amazon renewed guarantee,
which means that it's been professionally inspected,
tested and cleaned,
and it is backed by a 90 day warranty.
For any typical purchase you make on Amazon
that's classified as a Prime purchase,
you only have 30 days where you are eligible
for a return a refund or a replacement.
One of the huge benefits to the Amazon renewed guarantee
is you get an additional two months
to determine whether or not a product is right for you
and then you can exchange it
or send it back with absolutely no questions asked.
To further ensure you're actually getting a deal
on Prime Day, other than watching me.
CamelCamelCamel is a great free resource
where you can simply copy and paste
an Amazon product page link,
where it will analyze all of the price history
associated with it and tell you whether or not
you're actually getting a deal.
On something like these Oakleys
that I would personally never buy
because these days, none of my sunglasses
cost more than $12.
These have a list price of $167 and a price of $85,
which appears to be good at a 49% reduction,
copy and paste that link into CamelCamelCamel
and you'll learn the average price is $148,
so you are in fact getting a great deal.
And now for the Prime Day bonuses,
you can still shop made in the USA,
small businesses on Amazon Prime Day
and learn exactly who's behind the products you buy.
With an updated Prime Day section devoted
to the Hardworking Mom-and-Pop Shops
in our communities who happen to sell on Amazon
rather than just making the Prime Day experience
about buying products from massive corporations.
It's also important to note that
if you are an Amazon Prime Day credit card holder,
you could get an additional 25% back
on select purchases on Prime Day.
In addition to other rewards
and rebates tied to your credit card
specifically on Prime Day.
Thank you so much for watching this video
and a reminder I'll have your back on Prime Day and beyond.
Thanks for watching, I love you.
Bye bye.
