Prime Day Tips
- You have to be an Amazon Prime member to participate in the event, but the company is offering a free trial to new customers that you can take advantage of.
- Don't just look on Amazon. Other retailers like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy will often run their own sales to compete with the online juggernaut's event.
- Some of the best deals on Apple products are often at third-party retailers, rather than on Amazon itself.
- Download the Amazon app on your iPhone. It'll allow you to see upcoming deals before they're active and get notifications about deals that just went live
- Know what something costs beforehand. If you have your eye on something specific, be sure to note the price before Prime Day to see how good of an actual deal you're getting during the event.
