This Prime Day season, if you want to help small businesses as well as the almighty Amazon, you can. That’s thanks to Amazon offering Prime members a $10 credit to use on Prime Day 2020 when they spend $10 on items sold by select small businesses via the Amazon store. This way, you get to enjoy all the benefits of Prime Day while also knowing you’re helping smaller firms get by during this exceptionally tricky year.

The offer starts today and runs through October 12 so there’s plenty of time to snap up your $10 credit, all by picking out a great small business that sells something you really want. Amazon small business sellers include brands like Leovard, a skincare serum devised by Dr Sheg Aranmolate, and designed to solve razor bump issues and skin irritation after shaving.

You can also check out Amazon’s Support Small page which offers up various categories of different products. Want to buy jewelry or something handmade from a small U.S.-based business? Hit the link and you can find all kinds of great things, from bespoke pieces of art to personalized bracelets or necklaces. You can treat your kids to unique toys like stuffed animals you just can’t get elsewhere or fun Halloween costumes.

Alternatively, if you’re keen to help certain business owners, you can check out military family-owned firms or black or female owned businesses, and help those who have been most innovative in recent times. It’s fascinating exploring what’s available through Amazon’s Small Business scheme and there’s never been a better time than now.

That’s because right now, if you spend $10 or more at one of these small businesses, you get $10 of Amazon credit to use on Prime Day. Prime Day is already going to offer some fantastic deals and bargains anyhow so an extra $10 will make it all the sweeter.

Enjoy the great sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve helped smaller businesses, while also saving $10 on future purchases. What more could you need? It’s ideal timing with holiday shopping a priority for many of us right now. The deal is available for all Amazon Prime members.

There’s still time to try Amazon Music Unlimited for three months free

Recently, I shared a deal, and some news, that Amazon Music Unlimited not only comes with Audible included now, but also you can get started for free. That's right, you can try the premium version of the service for three months, for free. Normally it would cost you $11 per month, or $10 if you have Amazon Prime. That works out to about $30 for three months. For a limited time, you pay nada. Zilch. Fugazi.

While many prefer one of the other audio streaming services, my favorite is Amazon Music Unlimited. It’s not just because I’m an Amazon Prime subscriber, but also because I genuinely like the service. I have a few playlists put together of my favorite tunes, and I regularly receive some great recommendations for new tracks. The new Audible inclusion means you can essentially rent up to one audiobook per month (or billing cycle). Pretty sweet deal.

If you're thinking about getting a projector instead of taking advantage of Cyber Week TV deals, but you don't want to handle a big and bulky device, the good news is that there are portable models like the Xgimi MoGo 2. It's on sale from Amazon with a 25% discount, which brings its price down to a more affordable $300 from its original price of $400. You'll have to act fast if you're interested in this offer though, as there's no telling how much time is remaining before you miss out on the savings of $100.

Why you should buy the Xgimi MoGo 2 portable projector
Xgimi has several entries in our list of the best projectors, including the Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro as the best portable 1080p projector. The Xgimi MoGo 2 is its more affordable version, and while it's not as powerful as the Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro with 1920 x 1080 resolution, it's still a pretty worthwhile purchase, especially with Amazon's discount. The Xgimi MoGo 2 is capable of up to 1280 x 720 resolution, but at the same maximum brightness of 400 ISO Lumens as its cousin, and it also offers Intelligent Screen Alignment and Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance, which makes setting up the projector much easier.
