How to Sign up for Prime Day Invite-Only Deals
The invitation-only deals began last year during Prime Day to give more people an equal chance to take advantage of the best deals Amazon has to offer. The program must have worked well for Amazon because they repeated it during Prime Big Deal Days later in October. While we don’t have official dates for Prime Day yet, we do know that it will be sometime in mid-July. Knowing how to sign up for invitation-only offers will give you a chance to take advantage of these offers.
How to Sign Up for Invite-Only Prime Day Deals
As Amazon explains , you must be a Prime Member to sign up for the invitation-only offers. Essentially, you are requesting an invitation to a deal, which will come via email. Here are the steps from Amazon:
-
Find the “Prime Invitation Only Offer” you want to purchase. You can find promotions on the “Special Offers” page .
-
Go to the product details page.
-
Select Request an Invitation. If you’re not a Prime member, sign up for Prime to be able to request an invite.
-
You will receive an email notification confirming that you have requested an invitation. A confirmation will be sent to the email address specified in your Amazon account. If your account doesn’t have an email address, add one by going to Your Account > Sign In > Security.
Please keep in mind that just because you have requested an invitation does not mean you will receive one. If you are selected, you will receive a push notification and email at the time of sale. If you are not selected, Amazon will also tell you that you did not receive it. You can only buy one of the products you are invited to, but you can request as many invitations to different products as you like. The invitation will be valid as long as Prime Day lasts (two days).
As you can see from our last roundup of invitation-only Prime Day deals , they’re impressive. In October, Amazon had a 43-inch 4K Smart Fire TV for $99. You’ll likely see similar offers this year.
