What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon launched Prime Day in 2015 as an exclusive opportunity to give Prime members huge deals. The day was originally a July event. In 2020, the company delayed it until October amid the pandemic and made it a two-day sale. Last year, Prime Day took place in June.

This year’s event promises to be larger than ever. “Customers will be able to shop products from top national brands and more third-party sellers than last year’s Prime Day, including many small and medium-sized businesses, '' the company said.

How to get ready for Amazon Prime Day 2022

Students can get a 6-month trial membership for half the price, $7.49 a month.
