Prime Day is live and there's never been a better time to check out all the incredible deals during the massive sale. Before we check out a few of my favorites below, make sure you also look into the $50 Gift Card deal that is now live. This deal will net you an extra $12.50 for free when you top up your Amazon balance by $50 (using promo code EGCPRIME22).
Top 5 Deals You Need to See Before Prime Day Ends
1. Get 3-Months of Audible Premium for Free
Yes, we're going to be rattling on about this deal throughout the whole of Prime Day. It's already available, and it's probably one of the best discounts we've ever seen during the Prime Day sales. Prime members can currently get 3-months of Audible Premium Plus absolutely free.
It's an outstanding deal. Audible Premium Plus is normally $14.95 per month, so in total, you're saving almost $45 overall on the service. Moreover, with the 3-month membership, you're getting 3 audiobook credits, plus unlimited access to the Premium Plus library at no extra cost (without having to use any of your credits as well). This is our favorite Prime Day deal, so we recommend getting it ASAP.
2. Apple Watch Series 7 for $279
For Amazon Prime Day, the current generation Apple Watch Series 7 smartwatch has dropped to the lowest prices we've ever seen. Pretty much every single Apple Watch Series 7 model is on sale right now.
That includes the base aluminum GPS 41mm model that starts at a rock bottom price of $279, all the way up to the stainless steel GPS + cellular models with the fancy Milanese loop strap. All color options are discounted.
3. Get an Echo Dot (4th Gen) for $19.99 (Save $30)
With Prime Day pretty much here, it's no surprise that one of the most popular items in the sale is back with a heavy discount. Echo Dot smart speakers tend to dominate the sales numbers every year for Amazon, and I'm expecting something similar this time around.
With a massive $30 discount this year, you're getting an Echo Dot for just under $20. Not only that, but if you complete any of the eligible Prime Day free credit offers, you could pretty much get the speaker for free if you're savvy enough.
4. Apple AirPods Down to $169 for Prime Day
Anyone on the lookout for a deal on wireless earbuds will want to take a look at this. Amazon (along with other retailers) has dropped the price on Apple's AirPods Pro down to $169. That's the best deal available now on some of the best earbuds around, especially anyone who has an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
5. Fire TV Sticks on Sale for Prime Day 2022
Here's another absolute juggernaut item for Amazon during Prime Day. Fire TV Sticks sell like hot cakes during the sale, and again, it's not surprising. Right now you can get a Fire TV Stick for just $16.99, a 4K Stick for $24.99, or a 4K Max (with WiFi 6) for just $34.99. These are all fantastic deals, and well worth considering during Prime Day 2022.
Bonus: Complete These Steps and Get $10 for Free on Prime Day
Here's a quick bonus mention as I think it's very relevant for those looking to save as much money as possible during Prime Day. Amazon is running a "Prime stamp card" promotion that nets Prime members $10 in Amazon credit.
This deal runs throughout Prime Day as well, so if you buy anything during the sale, also make sure you complete all the other steps so you get your $10 credit.
Once you have a Prime membership, you can get started collecting stamps. Note that you need to do all four things before 11:59 p.m. ET on July 13. Here’s what you have to do:
- Stream a show on Prime Video
- Listen to a song on Prime Music
- Borrow an eBook on Prime Reading
- Make a Prime-eligible purchase ($5 or more)
