🚨 When is Amazon Prime Day 2024 and What You NEED To Know!
Plus, Free Amazon Credits and Exclusive Costco Clearance Deals!
Amazon Prime Day officially begins on Tuesday July 16th and Wednesday July 17th.
To help prepare you, here is a road map of everything you need to get the most from the sale, alongside some “deals” I would avoid.
What’s included this week:

🔍 How To Score The Best Deals On Prime Day
✅ Look at your “Buy Again” deals feed! Amazon keeps tabs on all the items you regularly purchase. Many of the essentials you shop could be at a significant discount by this time tomorrow.
![](https://media.beehiiv.com/cdn-cgi/image/fit=scale-down,format=auto,onerror=redirect,quality=80/uploads/asset/file/454daf0b-3978-4301-8733-9be5d341741a/buyagain.jpg?t=1720900235)
✅ Know the Best Time to Shop: The best deals typically drop between 9am and 12pm EST for the workday kick-off, with a new batch of fresh enticing deals around 1pm - 2:30pm EST for the lunch hour rush.

✅ Don’t Forget About Day 2: Anything you see on sale for the first day of Prime Day will not drop to a lower price on the second day of Prime Day. To retain interest for day #2, Amazon reserves some special big brand offerings around 10am EST. After that point, other than some lightning deals, I’m not usually blown away by the bargains.

✅ Pay Close Attention To Other Retailers: Even though Prime Day is all about Amazon, the competing “retaliatory sales” from Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Walmart could actually offer better deals than what you’ll find on Prime Day.

🤫 Get Free Amazon Credits Before Prime Day 2024
Just like prior years, there are some easy ways to redeem free Amazon Credits right before the big sale. Here are some of my favorites:
Get $15 OFF if you add an eligible American Express Card to your account

Get a FREE $10 Amazon Gift Card after ordering $25 or more using Grubhub. Note: This deal expires the day before Prime Day JULY 15TH and you MUST use code “GRUBPRIME”.
5 Months of FREE Amazon Music Unlimited: This will allow you to listen ad-free music or podcasts on your cellphone and Alexa device. Click here to get the deal (*this is an affiliate link)

After the trial, your subscription will automatically continue at $9.99/month
BONUS ITEM: While there are no credits to be earned from this page, I did want to flag all the new travel deals exclusive to Prime Day 2024!
More travel deals could potentially be revealed, so I would check back on this page during Prime Day (July 16th and July 17th).
👎🏼 What Not To Buy On Prime Day
❌ Large Appliances: While Prime Day will provide countless deals on smaller appliances, the larger scale washing machine, dryers, dishwashers, stoves and fridges are all at lower prices from Home Depot and Lowe’s, with sales running right now.
❌ Higher-End Televisions: You’ll find better deals on higher-end televisions during the holiday quarter. Entry and mid-level televisions with lower refresh rates and the odd QLED deal are a solid buy during Prime Day. Best Buy is expected to have TV deals to rival what Amazon offers throughout this week.
❌ Patio Furniture: You’ll find better deals from local stores and from online national retailers. If your current patio set is sustainable until September, prices will be 40% cheaper come Labor Day.
❌ Gaming Consoles: Your deals will be much better on Black Friday in November. With the exception of some game discounts on Prime Day, I would avoid console purchases for now.
