Amazon, the online retail giant, has just announced a new two-day fall savings event for its Prime members, called Prime Early Access Deals. The event is expected to take place in mid-October, and will offer thousands of deals across almost all categories, from fashion to home goods, from tech to fitness, and more. The event is similar to the annual summer Prime Day, which was held in July this year, but it is exclusive to Prime members only. This means that non-members will not be able to access the deals, unless they sign up for a free 30-day trial of Prime before the event starts.
Prime Early Access Deals is a great opportunity for Prime members to get a head start on their holiday shopping, and to save big on popular products that may sell out quickly during the peak season. Amazon has not revealed the exact dates of the event yet, but based on last year’s Prime Early Access Sale, it is likely that it will be live during the second or third week of October. Prime members can expect to see deals on items like Apple gadgets, golf gear, Yankee candles, Fire TVs, and more.
How to prepare for Prime Early Access Deals?
To make the most of Prime Early Access Deals, Prime members need to do some preparation beforehand. Here are some tips on how to shop smartly and efficiently during the event:
- Leading up to the event, Prime members will be able to sign up for invite-only doorbuster deals on select products, such as Blink home security cameras. These deals will be limited in quantity and time, so Prime members need to act fast to grab them. To sign up for these deals, Prime members can use the Amazon app and the Prime Early Access Deals tab to subscribe to specific deals and receive push notifications when those products go on sale.
- If you own an Amazon Echo device, you can also use Alexa to get deal notifications on items you have in your cart, saved for later, or on a wish list. You can also ask Alexa to order products for you, or to check the status of your orders. Just say “Alexa, what are my Prime Early Access Deals?” or “Alexa, order me a Fire TV”.
- If you have a specific shopping list, it is smart to take advantage of these invite-only deals and notifications, so you can be the first to shop. You can also use the Amazon app or website to browse curated deals by category, or to search for specific products. You can also filter the deals by price, discount, rating, and more, to find the best ones for you.
- Prime Early Access Deals is a short-lived event, so you need to be ready to shop when it starts. Make sure you have a stable internet connection, a charged device, and your payment and shipping information updated. You can also use the Amazon app to track your orders, or to cancel or return them if needed.
