anyone have plans for prime day?
On Tuesday, Amazon released a sneak preview of deals that’ll pop up throughout July 15, starting at midnight PT (so 3 a.m. ET). While the preview often doesn’t list specific brands, many of the deals seem outstanding: A 32-inch LED TV will go for just $75, for instance, while a 40-inch 1080p LED TV will be priced at $115.
Unsurprisingly, many of Amazon’s own products will be discounted substantially. On Prime Day, shoppers will get $15 off the Fire TV Stick (normal price: $39), $30 off Kindles (normally from $79), and $60 off Fire HD 7s (from $139), and 60% off Amazon Elements Baby Wipes (use code ELEMENTS60).
New deals will be posted periodically throughout Prime Day, and some may sell out quickly. Only subscribers to Amazon’s $99-per-year Prime service will have access to Prime Day deals, though Amazon has repeated over and over that consumers are welcome to sign up for a free 30-day trial of Prime in order to participate. Bear in mind that if you don’t cancel the service before the free trial period expires, Amazon will bill you for $99. Got it? Good.
