On July 12 Amazon will be holding its second Amazon Prime
Day, which promises to bring more bargains and deals than Black Friday.
Amazon prime day is here click to view deals
Last year's inaugural Amazon Prime Day ended up having some
excellent deals amidst some less than stellar offerings, and Amazon's methods
of distributing the deals throughout the day meant that many people missed out
on some of the best savings.
That's why we've put together this guide on how to get the
best Amazon Prime Day 2016 deals, so you can be sure you're at the right place
at the right time to nab all the best bargains Amazon has to offer on July 12.
How to get a free trial Amazon Prime membership
Before taking advantage of the deals on Amazon Prime Day
you'll need to have an Amazon Prime membership. This costs $99 (£79) a year and
includes benefits such as Amazon Prime Video streaming and free two day
delivery.
Even though there's a chance that Amazon will drop the price
of an Amazon Prime membership for Amazon Prime Day, as it did last year, you
may not be willing to put down cash just to find a deal.
Thankfully, you can sign up for a free 30 day trial of
Amazon Prime which you can use to take part in the Amazon Prime Day event, and
as long as you actively cancel your Amazon Prime account before the 30 day
trial expires, you won't get billed. It may be worth putting a reminder in your
calendar to cancel the service to make sure you don't get charged.
How to cancel your free Amazon Prime membership
Although there are benefits to having an Amazon Prime
membership, if you don't want to pay for it before the 30 days are up head over
to Amazon and go to the Manage Prime Membership page.
It should state that you have an Amazon Prime free trial,
simply click 'Do not continue' to make sure you don't get charged. You'll still
be able to use your Amazon Prime membership until the 30 days expires.
Preparing for Amazon Prime Day
Now that you have an Amazon Prime account, you can begin
preparing for Amazon Prime Day. Last year there were big reductions on Xbox
Ones, Fire TV Sticks, Blu-ray Box Sets, smartwatches and cameras, so if you're
after any of those, you may be in luck this year.
If you're after something in particular, such as a new TV,
then research a number of products. While the exact model you're after might
not go on sale, a similar one might, so knowing what you're after is a good
plan.
It's also a good idea to set a budget – you don't want to
get carried away and have to spend the rest of the month on bread and water.
How to make the most out of Amazon Prime Day
On July 12 Amazon Prime Day will begin at 00:00 PST (08:00
BST), so keep a browser window open on the Amazon home page. Throughout the day
Amazon will put up new deals and they will either be limited in stock, or will
have a time limit.
Each deal will show you how much is left in stock or how
much time you have left to purchase the deal. It's tempting to be pressurised
into buying the deal as soon as possible, so if you have done some research
beforehand to make sure the deal is for something you want, and the price is
right, add the deal to your shopping basket as you would when you shop normally
on Amazon.
If you're not sure, pause for a moment and do a bit of
research.
Also make sure you have our Amazon Prime Day deals
open, as we'll be adding all the best deals we see throughout the day. You can
be confident that the deals we feature on that page will be for amazing tech at
fantastic prices.
Also to make sure you don't miss out on any Amazon Prime Day
deals, make sure you have the Amazon app installed on your smartphone (get the
Amazon app here for iOS, or here for Android).
With the Amazon app installed on your smartphone you can
keep an eye on the deals while you're away from your computer - and you can
quickly jump on deals from your phone as well.
You can also see what deals are coming up during Amazon
Prime Day. Add an upcoming deal to your watch list by clicking 'Your lists' and
selecting 'Shopping list' or 'Wish list' and your phone will alert you to when
the deal goes live - so you can quickly snap up those deals before they're
gone!
