Amazon Prime Day deals FAQ
1.
Do I need to be a Prime member to get Amazon Prime Day deals?

Yes, you need an Amazon Prime subscription to take advantage of designated Amazon Prime Day deals. You can still purchase the items without that subscription, but you won’t get the best deal pricing.

After all, Amazon Prime Day is to a large extent a means for Amazon to sell more subscriptions, which cost $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Besides deal pricing and faster shipping, a membership confers access to Prime Video streaming content and special deals when you shop at Whole Foods. If you’re on the fence about committing to a subscription, you can always sign up for a free Amazon Prime trial to get the deals.

2.
When does Amazon Prime Day begin and end?

This summer’s Prime Day begins at midnight PST on July 16 and ends on July 17. Typically Prime Day sales go for precisely 48 hours, so expect the deals to expire at midnight, PST.

3.
How can I tell whether a Prime Day deal is worth it?

A good way to judge the merits of a deal is to check its price history using a site like Camel Camel Camel. But beyond a great price, you want to feel confident in the quality of the product itself. User reviews, a brand’s reputation, and the recommendations of product experts, such as PCWorld, can all provide added assurance that a deal is worth it.

4.
Do other retailers run sales during Prime Day?

Despite Prime Day being an Amazon sales event, there’s nothing stopping other retailers, like Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and so on, from running their own deals during this time.

The upshot is that you could find similar prices at a competing retailer without the need to pay for a Prime subscription. See our category-specific deals roundups linked above for the best deals across all retailers.
