Amazon Prime Day 2022 Early Deals ahead of July 12

Amazon Prime Day 2022 is upon us. The giant online retailer has announced that their 48-hour mid-year shopping event is coming back this year, from July 12 to 13. During this period, Amazon Prime members will have exclusive access to can-not-miss discounts on signature Amazon devices like Kindle, Echo, Fire tablets, and other smart gadgets. National merchants also join this once-a-year shopping holiday to offer heavily discounted items from tech down to household essentials. Amazon Prime Day 2022 will kick off at 3 a.m. EDT Monday.

The full Amazon Prime Day 2022 deals won’t be revealed until the first day or hours leading to it. However, Amazon launched pre-Prime Day deals that offer up to 50% discounts on their products to build up the event. There’s also Amazon Live, which demonstrates and sells products at a discount through a live stream. Pre-Prime Day lightning deals are also available to offer temporary discounts on products until stocks are sold out. You’ll need Prime membership to access these special offers.

As early as now, you can already snatch discounted products from your favorite tech brands before Amazon Prime Day. You won’t need a Prime membership to avail of these discounts, for now, but if you have a Prime account anyway, you might as well wait off until July 12. Crazier deals are waiting for you by then! Below, we have listed the best early Prime deals on Amazon products ahead of July 12.

What Exactly Is Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day is Amazon’s two-day annual event that sees marked-down prices on different product departments including tech, lifestyle, fashion, and home essentials. It usually happens mid of the year since it started in 2015; in 2020 it was moved to October because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s Amazon Prime Day marks the 27th anniversary of the retailer. It will start on July 12, 3 a.m. EDT, and end on July 13.

Who Can Join Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day deals are exclusive offers to Amazon Prime members, a $14.99/ month subscription service. If you want to join this year’s shopping extravaganza and haven’t been an Amazon Prime member in the last 12 months, you may sign-up for the Amazon Prime Free Trial before the Prime Day event starts. Your free access will last for 30 days. If you don’t want to continue with the subscription, you can bail out by canceling your Prime membership account before the trial ends.

How Much Discount Does Amazon Prime Day Give?

There are no specifics on how much discount you would be getting for this year’s Amazon Prime Day event. But expect at least 20% off the non-member non-promotional price of your favorite products. This can go as much as 50% or higher.

Are there Prizes to Win During Prime Day?

Yes! Aside from exclusive deals, there are also exciting offers up for the grab leading up to the main shopping event. From June 16 through Prime Day, Prime members have a chance to earn a $10 credit through Prime Stampcard by completing four tasks: stream Prime Video, listen to Prime Music, borrow a Prime Reading or Kindle Unlimited book or add one to their library, and make a Prime-shipping eligible purchase.

For every $1 spent on a small business from June 21 through July 11, members also get a chance to win exciting prizes like tickets to sporting events, VIP passes to music scenes, or a cast meet-and-greet for Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Which Countries Are Participating In Amazon Prime Day?

Participating countries in Prime Day have relatively grown since the first time. From 10 in 2015 and 20 in 2021, 24 countries are collectively joining the consumer holiday this year. Poland and Sweden are joining for the first time together with Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, the UK, and the U.S.

A Prime Day will also be held in India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates on a later date.

How to Get Notified of Amazon Prime Day Deals?

If you are a Prime member, you can let your Alexa devices remind you when Prime Day starts. Alternatively, you can add products to your Wish List, Cart, or Save for Later before the event begins. Alexa will remind you when the deal goes live.
