Amazon announced today that they’ll be marking their 20th anniversary introducing a day of blowout sales on July 15, for Prime members only. Promises are made that it will be bigger even than Black Friday.
You can signup now for Amazon Prime and get a 30-day free trial. This will enable you to be part of Prime Day and seems to be the primary goal of the event. Remember also that Prime members can share their Prime membership with 4 other household members as well.
The wording of the Press Release sounds like Prime Day will be an annual tradition which may really increase the value of Prime membership if it turns out to be really good deals.
Deals will be released starting midnight, with new deals coming out as often as every ten minutes. Prime Day will be available to the 40 million Americans who are Prime members, as well as in a number of other countries.
$10,000 Raffle
There’s also a raffle for $10,000 in Amazon gift cards, available for Prime members. You need to enter the raffle between now and July 15. (Eligible only to Primary account holders of an Amazon Prime account.)
- Choose or take a photo of your happiest moment. Check out the Amazon Facebook page for ideas.
- Submit your photo to the contest. Remember only one entry per Prime account, so choose your best photo.
- Amazon judges will choose which photo is best and the winner will be notified via email.
I used my prime free trial. So if you join prime on 14th and cancel that on 16th. How moch will amazon refund?
Nooo. Will be traveling for most part of the day. Hopefully deals will continue through night 😉
If you cancel, say after 5 month, do you get a pro-rated refund?
Yes, you should. I’ve had Prime and cancelled it before (and then gotten it again) and the refund was pro-rated.
