Prime Day 2019: tips and tricks
Amazon is so big and has so many thousands of products that Prime Day is likely to give you a little bit of anxiety. Will you know how to choose the right offers? Will you be taking advantage of the discounts? Don't worry, we are here to get you out of all possible doubts.
What is the origin of Prime Day?
The Prime Day celebration is very short on time. You only have to go back to 2015 to find the first year in which this great day of sales was organized - to commemorate the anniversary of the company. What started as something small and without making much noise is today one of the most important days of the year for Amazon with more than a million discounted products.
When is it celebrated and how long does it last?
Prime Day was celebrated for the first time on July 15 and since then, Jeff Bezos' company has been faithful to the summer month to activate this very special moment. In this 2019, by the way, it will last no less than 48 hours, being the first time that Prime Day lasts two full days: from 00:00 on Monday, July 15 -that is, "on Sunday night"- at 23:59 on Tuesday, July 16.
We confirm that on Monday at 00:00 you will be able to find in The Output the first offers available. We will be following up during the two days of sales, selecting those that are most worthwhile and notifying you of the best discounts so that you don't go crazy with so much price.
What exactly are you going to find and what to do to be able to buy?
Prime Day is synonymous with summer sales at Amazon. You already know that the firm continually has active offers on many products, but on Prime Day, let's say, everything multiplies. Some offers are even better, products are discounted that are never usually discounted and in short, you live a few hours in which you can get real bargains.
During these two days of Prime Day you will find both offers that will last only 24 or 48 hours and others that will only be available certain hours (in some cases even just one or two, be careful with that) or in limited quantities. The discounts, as always, will be applied to all categories of the store, from Amazon's own products to those for the home, including clothing, toys, beauty and, of course, technology.
To be able to enjoy the offers you only need to meet one requirement: be a prime member. If you do not have a Prime account, you will not be able to access the offers of these two days. You must be clear. Of course, what you can do is carry out free cheat of the month: sign up for Amazon Prime right now for its free 30-day trial, without paying anything, and take advantage of the period of offers that arrive now. Then, you can continue enjoying the service until the end of the subscription month (remember that you will also be entitled to Prime Video, Prime Reading and free 1-Day shipping) and unsubscribe before the 36 euros per year are charged. the subscription -if you are not convinced by the services offered, although we recommend them for the price per year that it has.

Final Tips
Some final advice before you prepare the VISA and prepare to wait for the best summer offers:
Follow the offers that interest you
On Prime Day some offers will be displayed before they are active and you can follow them, so you'll be notified when the sale starts so you don't forget or miss it. Use this option because it is very useful.
Do not despair if a product is out of stock
There are times when a product runs out, Amazon allows you to sign up for a waiting list -it happens with Flash offers that last a few hours. If you find yourself in this situation, join the list. You may be lucky enough to walk into the checkout (because someone has finally taken the item out of their cart) and be delighted.
Use when you can Amazon Pay
If you use Amazon Pay with some brands, you will get a porcentaje of what was paid in a gift voucher for you. Take a look at this page.
Use the favorites or the shopping cart
A good idea to go signing the products that interest you (in case you have it very clear) is save them already on your wish list or even in the shopping cart. So when Prime Day starts, you just have to go to them, check if they have changed their price and if so, proceed to the purchase before they take it away.
Look, review and compare
You know how sales are. We go crazy with so many offers and good prices. Look, review, compare between the different models that we show you and choose wisely.
