Get Ready for Prime Day 2023 Now
Amazon’s biggest discount holiday, Prime Day 2023, is almost here, which means you can expect thousands of deals and discounts on just about every kind of product you can think of. If you’re looking for details on when and where Amazon’s 48-hour shopping event will take place, you’ve come to the right place.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Prime Day started back in 2015 , when Amazon’s 20th anniversary celebrations began. Eight years later, Prime Day has become an integral part of the Amazon subscriber shopping schedule. The “holiday” actually lasts two days a year and includes promotions and discounts in a wide variety of departments. There are discounts on everything from appliances, home and kitchen, clothing and more.
When is Prime Day 2023?
In short, we don’t know for sure. The company has yet to announce official dates for this year’s Prime Day. When they do, we’ll update this story accordingly.
However, we can use clues from past prime days to make an educated guess. As Mashable highlights , Amazon has a habit of choosing mid-July for Prime Day, blocking either Monday and Tuesday or Tuesday and Wednesday for its two-day shopping extravaganza. Mashable thinks this year’s Prime Day will be either July 10-11 or July 11-12, which is as good a guess as any. But Amazon will likely warn Prime customers as we get closer to the actual Prime Day.
Who can shop on Prime Day deals?
While anyone can use Amazon to shop, Prime Day is only open to Amazon Prime subscribers. However, this also applies to the free trial . You can sign up for Prime for free for 30 days to take advantage of Prime Day sales and then cancel your subscription. This will save you $14.99/month or $139/year for an annual subscription, while still being able to take advantage of some great deals.
How to find the best deals on Prime Day 2023
The thing about Prime Day is that Amazon isn’t shy about its deals. When you open a new Amazon window during the two-day event, you’ll be bombarded with new discounts as far as you can scroll, especially on your own products . You can look forward to many offers on Alexa devices.
But just because something is on sale doesn’t mean it’s a good deal. There are some more tactics you can use to make sure you really get your money. Check out our guide here for tips ranging from determining a particular item’s price history to making sure you’re not buying something that’s out of date.
While Amazon probably doesn’t want you to shop this way, you can set your own prices so that you only buy an item after it drops below a certain amount. And that’s a good strategy, as some of these discounts aren’t really as big as advertised . And remember: you can return your Prime Day Regrets within 30 days of purchase .
