🤔Prime Day Amazon: what is it?
First held in 2015, Amazon Prime Day is a promotional event for members of the Amazon Prime program only. They can take advantage of exclusive promotions to which non-member users do not have access. This is therefore one of the major advantages of this service which, among other things, allows you to benefit from free deliveries within one working day, from the Prime Video, Prime Now, Twitch Prime or even Amazon Music platforms.
Prime Day usually takes place over two days. Originally, Amazon promised even more interesting deals than during Black Friday, the other major event of the year. Either way, Prime Day is today. an unmissable event for bargain hunters.
📅What are the dates for Amazon Prime Day 2022?
The second wave of Amazon Prime Day will take place on October 11 and 12, 2022. It lasts exactly 48 hours, from 00:00 on the first day to 00:00 on the second. Like previous editions, expect an avalanche of exclusive promotions. Normally, more than 2 million offers will be offered to Prime members in several categories of the store.
The event traditionally takes place in July, except for the 2020 and 2021 editions which had experienced delays due to the Covid. But for the first time, Amazon will offer a second wave in October 2022, a few weeks before Black Friday.
🆓How to enjoy Amazon Prime Day for free?
As mentioned above, Prime Day is for members only. But if you’re not a subscriber, the good news is that you can still take advantage of exclusive offers for free. How ? Simply by becoming a member just for the occasion. All you have to do is subscribe to the service from time to time and at the same time take advantage of the 30-day free trial offered by Amazon.
If you don’t want to pay for the following months, just go to your Amazon Prime account settings and cancel the subscription. A simple and quick manipulation that you must not forget to do at the risk of being systematically debited the following month.
But the subscription is really accessible in view of the advantages. It costs 5.99 euros per month or 49 euros per year. It quickly pays for itself given the many benefits it offers. Indeed, the Prime subscription allows its members to benefit from exclusive promotions, but also from other advantages which we have already mentioned above.
There is in particular the free and unlimited delivery in one day. It is therefore strongly recommended for people who are used to ordering regularly from Amazon. In addition, the monthly subscription is without engagementwhich means you can cancel it at any time.
⛔How to unsubscribe from Amazon Prime?
If you want to end your Amazon Prime subscription, whether you are still on a trial period or have taken out a paid monthly or annual subscription, it’s very simple. Here is the procedure to follow.
If you are still on probation
- Go to your Settings
- Click on Do not continue to prevent your subscription from becoming payable, then confirm
If you have a paid subscription
- Go to your Settings
- Click on End of membership, then once again on End of membership and finally choose Finish now
In the latter case, if you have not placed an order, you can very easily get a refund of the 49 euros for the one-year subscription. This is normally automatic within 3-5 working days from the time you have followed the steps and have not used your Premium account since you were charged 49 euros for example to obtain delivery in one working day. If so, we recommend clicking here to contact Amazon support.
🤷 ♂️ Is it better to wait for the good deals of Black Friday or those of Prime Day?
Prime Day takes place this year 4 months before Black Friday which will normally be held on November 25, 2022 and which itself precedes Cyber Monday which will be held on November 28, 2022 except surprise. The question of waiting until Black Friday could therefore arise for some Internet users. That said, the Prime Day event is as close to the e-commerce giant’s heart as Black Friday.
In general, promotions on Amazon are more interesting on Prime Day than on Black Friday. This is especially the case for recent products whose reduction percentages are skyrocketing. Better to take advantage of it if you can afford it. Additionally, some discounted items may no longer be available on Black Friday.
👍What products to watch out for on Prime Day 2022?
During Prime Day, Amazon particularly highlights its products. It is therefore the ideal opportunity to equip yourself with one of its Echo devices, one of its Kindle readers or even a Fire TV. These products are subject to great reductions which allow you to have them at the best price of the year.
High-tech products are also not immune to Prime Day flash sales. If you are planning to buy a smartphone, tablet or laptop, then now is the perfect time to do so. A large number of manufacturers are taking advantage of the event to sell off their stocks.
We find among them Google with Chromebooks, Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi or Huawei. There’s also a good chance Apple’s iPhones from the previous year will be discounted, as well as MacBooks and Galaxy S’s.
Regarding the world of video games, do not expect next-gen consoles to be discounted. With the shortage affecting the entire planet, it is indeed unlikely that we will see offers on these during Prime Day. That said, subscriptions to PlayStation Plus and popular video games could be subject to attractive discounts.
Finally, we are also counting on major promotions on wireless headphones and earphones. This will probably be the time to fall for a pair of AirPods Pro or Bose or Sony headphones without breaking the bank.
🔔 How to take advantage of Amazon Prime Day 2022 deals?
Prime Day lasts 48 hours. Compared to other big shopping events of the year, it’s relatively short. The offers are offered as part of flash sales which have a limited duration. Because parts in stock are only available for a few hours, they tend to sell out very quickly. In order to get your hands on the product that interests you, it is therefore advisable not to waste time and to be reactive.
To do this, we advise you to check in advance, before the start of Prime Day, that your Amazon Prime account is still active and that you have your contact details up to date. Also dress upstream the complete list of the articles which interest you. Thus, you will save time when the big day comes. You will therefore not have to unnecessarily consult promotions that do not interest you.
As with previous years’ editions, Phonandroid’s good deals team will cover the event and relay the most interesting Amazon offers in real time during the event.
