How to Join

To join in on the Amazon Prime Day experience, you need to be an Amazon Prime member. Or you can use a one month Amazon Prime free trial as well. If you already did that 30-day trial, the next best thing to do is to contact a family member that is already an Amazon Prime subscriber, and ask that person if you could join their Amazon Household account.

Once you're in, there are three types of deals to choose from: Spotlight deals, Lightning deals, and Prime Deals. Both Lightning and Spotlight deals last for only a short while, while Prime Deals last throughout the day.
Lightning deals offer huge discounts, but as the name suggests, they go very quickly, mainly because supplies are limited.
