Amazon Prime Day has ended, but while the best deals are gone, some decent discounts on Amazon’s own Echo smart speakers and displays are still available. Don’t wait too much longer, though! These deals could go up in smoke any time.
Note: Prime Day is over, so some of these deals are likely unavailable.
Do you need to be an Amazon Prime member to shop Prime Day deals?
The most important thing to remember about Prime Day is that you must be an Amazon Prime member to partake in the deals. Amazon Prime costs $139 a year or $14.99 a month, following a price hike back in February.
That said, there is a workaround if you don’t want to cough up the Prime membership fee: Just sign up for a free one-month Amazon Prime trial, which you can cancel as soon as Prime Day is over.
Is Amazon the only retailer offering Prime Day deals?
As Prime Day grows in popularity, more and more competing retailers are offering their own deals during the Amazon event. Make sure to check Best Buy, Home Depot, Target, Walmart, and other big online sellers, who will often price-match or even undercut the best Prime Day discounts.
