How to get the best deals
Last year, Amazon Prime Day sales reached $11.2 billion, 25% more than the $8.9 billion shoppers spent online on Black Friday. With so many deals, here are some tips to set yourself up for success. Prime Day is exclusively for members. If you aren't a member, you can sign up for Amazon Prime's membership which costs $139 a year.
Go to the Amazon site and create your wish list of items you want to purchase. You can use Amazon's Wish List feature when you sign into your account. If you have Alexa and the Amazon mobile app, you can set it up so you receive alerts when a deal in your wish list goes live during Prime Day. The app will send you a push notification before the deal starts. Your Amazon Wish List is one of the most useful tools you can use to take advantage of the best Prime Day deals.
