Preparing for Amazon Prime Day 2024

Get ahead of all other deal hunters.

It's time to get ready for one of the biggest shopping events of the year.

When is Prime Day 2024? This year it is set for July 16-17, but some deals may go live early.

Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make the most out of Prime Day.

1. Understand How Each Deal Works

This is the most important part of this entire post. Amazon has 3 main different types of deals: Lightning Deals, Promo Codes, and Promotions/Coupons. Click on each deal type in the previous sentence to see their respective blog posts explaining how they work. It's important to read this ahead of time so you don't get stuck figuring it out on Prime Day. Products can have one of these deals or multiple, so make sure you apply as many as you can for the best discount. On DealDog, you'll see an icon on the top left of each product representing what deals they have. The more icons the better. For more information, see our post on deal stacking.

2. Get a Prime Membership

Amazon Prime Day deals are often exclusive to Prime members. If you’re not already a member, click here to sign up for a free trial or a monthly subscription. Prime membership offers various benefits, including free shipping, access to Prime Video, and more. If you're scoring tons of deals you're going to want free shipping, even after Prime Day.

3. Create a Wishlist

Preparing a wishlist in advance can save you a lot of time and ensure you don't miss out on the deals you want. Add items you're interested in to your Amazon wishlist and keep an eye on them as Prime Day approaches. On DealDog you can favorite items and check your favorites throughout the day to see if any new deals have come up for those products.

4. Use DealDog for Real-Time Deal Updates

Take advantage of DealDog’s real-time deal feed. DealDog updates deals as they change so you don't have to worry about wasting time sorting through dead deals or going all the way to checkout just for the promo code to not work. Make sure to also take advantage of our advanced filtering. Filter by category, brands, percent-off, and sort deals however you want. Our goal is to have a fully customizable deal feed so you can get right to the deals you care about as fast as possible. During an event like Prime Day that speed matters. Deals will go quick so make sure your deal feed is customized to your liking (we'll remember how you've customized it for your next visit to DealDog)!

5. Act Fast on Lightning Deals

Lightning Deals, as the name implies, are lightning-fast offers that can provide substantial discounts. They’re limited in quantity and time, so act fast if you see something you want. On DealDog, look for the lightning deal icon to quickly identify these offers on our feed. A lot of these deals give early access (30 minutes) to Prime members, just another membership to signing up for that Prime free trial.

Post-Prime Day

Even after Prime Day ends, many sellers continue to offer great deals to unload excess inventory. Keep checking DealDog for ongoing discounts and special offers that persist past Prime Day. This way, you can still find excellent bargains even after the main event is over.

Conclusion

Amazon Prime Day 2024 on July 16-17 is set to be a fantastic opportunity for snagging great deals. By following these preparation tips and leveraging DealDog’s real-time deal feed, you can ensure that you’re ready to take full advantage of the sales. Happy shopping!
