Amazon Prime Day is almost here! Are you ready? What deals are you hoping to snag? Our family will be on the lookout for things like a laptop, a camera lens, an inflatable air mattress (I got a great one last year) and a keyboard with a stand.

Amazon Prime Day 2019

This year, Amazon Prime Day will last 48 hours, from 3am on July 15th – 2:59am on July 17th and will offer more than 1 million deals! Many will be available throughout the sale and some will be featured as Lightning Deals. Lighting Deals only last for a certain amount of time, or until they are sold out. They launch throughout the 48 hour sale.

While they don’t share the deals ahead of time, you can download the Amazon app to find upcoming deals! You can “watch” the items you want and Amazon will send you a notification when the deal is about to go live. You can also ask Alexa to set a reminder for you.

Once a Lightning Deal goes live, you can add it to your shopping cart. You’ll have 15 minutes to complete the order. If the item sells out before you’re able to buy it, make sure to join the waitlist. If for some reason, someone decides not to purchase, you’ll still get the opportunity to buy one.

Can Anyone Shop Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is exclusively for Amazon Prime members. We’ve been Prime members since 2017 and have found that your membership pays for itself very quickly, as you don’t have to pay shipping on any item marked Prime.  You also get things much quicker by choosing Amazon Prime shipping!

If you’re not already an Amazon Prime member, you can sign up here for a free 30-day trial!

Amazon Prime Day is July 15 and 16th this year. Here's what you need to know to be prepared.

What’s Included in Your Amazon Prime Membership?

When you sign up for an Amazon Prime Membership, you’ll take advantage of lots of perks including, fast and free shipping, the ability to instantly stream thousands of movies and tv shows on-demand, ad-free music streaming, free 2-hour delivery with Prime Now, discounts on various family items and more!

Know someone who might like Amazon Prime? Gift the gift of Prime! It’s the perfect birthday or holiday gift!

Good luck getting everything you’re hoping for! Don’t forget to come back and share the deals you snagged!
