Prime Day, Amazon’s annual blowout sale, was delayed this summer due to the coronavirus outbreak, but it’s finally coming in mid-October — less than two months ahead of Black Friday. That gives shoppers two big retail events to enjoy before the Christmas sales arrive, but while Black Friday deals are available to all and sundry, Amazon’s official Prime Day sale is for Prime members only. If you’re not a Prime member, though, then don’t fret, because you can sign up for a 30-day Prime trial
As Prime Day falls in October this year, it’s not a bad idea to start your free 30-day Amazon Prime trial
The main caveat with this approach is that each Amazon account can only sign up for that 30-day Prime trial
If those options are still unavailable to you, that doesn’t mean you can’t shop around for Prime Day deals. Many third-party sellers on Amazon take advantage of the sale to offer their own discounts that are available to all, giving you another opportunity to find what you’re looking for. And, as Prime Day has become one of the most popular sales along with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, competing retailers such as Walmart often run their own concurrent promotions in an effort to take a slice out of Amazon’s pie. The online retail world is a huge place, so shop around and use whatever chance you can get to score deals wherever you happen to find them.
