How to Make the Most of Amazon Prime Day 2023

Every year, there are certain trends that affect Prime Day deals but overall, these are the simple steps you need to follow for a successful shopping holiday. 

  • Make sure you have a Prime membership. 

Prime membership is a prerequisite but if you haven’t had an Amazon Prime account over the last 12 months, you're eligible to create a new one and take advantage of the 30-day free trial. It’s a good idea to set it up at least a week in advance in order to be able to benefit from the Prime Day early deals. 

  • Create your lists. 

Amazon lets you keep things nice and organized with a Wishlist, a Watchlist, and a Waitlist. Add items you’re interested in to your Wishlist; it helps you avoid impulse purchases. Download the Amazon app and allow notifications for items on your Watchlist; it will ping you when your deal goes live. If you’ve missed on a Prime Day lightning deal (deals available only for a short amount of time), the Waitlist lets you claim an item that another member has added to their cart but hasn’t gone through with the purchase. 

  • Sign up for deal alerts.

All you have to do is edit your Amazon app permissions so that you’ll receive deal alert notifications based on your Amazon searches and browsing history. Launch the Amazon Shopping app and tap the Home icon at the bottom, then select “Create deal alerts” below the banner. That way you won't miss an item even if you've missed to add it to your Wish list. 

  • Check Today's Deals. 

As you wait for Prime Day to kick off, you can take advantage of hundreds of daily deals in the section 'Today's Deals' on the Amazon website. It will display all the products with discounts for the day. 

  • Look for credits and bonuses. 

Another thing you can do while preparing for Prime Day is to stock up on free credits. You can find deals even now that will reward you with Amazon credit that you can use on Prime Day. This year, you can get a £15 credit at Amazon UK to use on Prime Day simply for backing up your photos.  All you need to do is download the Amazon Photos app and upload your very first photo. The offer is valid until 7 July, 2023 and applies to customers using a UK billing address. 

  • Use price trackers. 

When you add an item to your cart, you usually have about 15 minutes before Amazon removes it. That’s plenty of time to do some quick research. There are sites that will do price tracking for you to give you an idea whether the discount price of the product or service is worth it. 

  • Look up deals from other retailers.

Other big retailers don’t like to be left out of the whole shopping extravaganza so many online stores will host their own events with special deals during Prime Day. It’s worth checking out and comparing prices with other websites to find the brands and items you love at discount rates.
