Amazon Prime Day Tips and Tricks

• Make sure you actually have Amazon Prime. Prime Day is reserved for members so it follows that you should have a membership ahead of time. The time is now! Sign up here.

• Electronics are a super hot Amazon Prime Day item. If a new Amazon device, TV, projector or robot vacuum is on your wishlist, Amazon Prime Day is the time to finalize your decision. These categories were all among the most discounted last year.

• Download the Amazon app. The Amazon app provides the best platform for users to shop Prime Day deals. The desktop experience is no slouch but we recommend the app on both iOS and Android devices! With alerts and the ability to track highly coveted "Lightning Deals", you can't go wrong with the Amazon app.

• Amazon Student accounts are also valid. Students who have an Amazon Student membership as opposed to Amazon Prime will have the same access to Amazon Prime Day as Prime members.

• Take advantage of the complete span of Prime Day. Prime Day only comes once every year, thus it's important to take full advantage. Visit Amazon throughout the entirety of Prime Day 2019, from the starting hours to the final seconds, to ensure you don't miss any hot deals.

• Don't fret over deals missed. In other words, don't be too hard on yourself. Amazon Prime Day 2020 will be here before you know it. And, you can always find a selection of high quality Amazon coupon codes available to use anytime here at CouponCause:
