When is Prime Day?
What time does it start? Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs from Tuesday, June 23 at 12:01 a.m. PDT through Friday, June 26 at 11:59 p.m. PDT. The four-day event is exclusively for Prime members, though Amazon is already running early member-exclusive deals.
What Deals Can I Get?
Prime Day deals can range from TVs and kitchen appliances, to Cascade, trash bags and granola bars. You can pretty much expect EVERYTHING under the sun to be eligible for a big prime day discount.

3 . Know Which Deals To Avoid on Prime Day
Amazon will be really hyping ALL their deals on Prime Day – but unless something is a REALLY good deal you may want to hold off. First of all – Black Friday & Cyber Monday are just around the corner and we’ll see oodles of sales then too – this is not your last chance for a deal! Secondly – stick to your budget and don’t get swept up by FOMO! (Fear of missing out…)
4 . Get Deals FIRST!
Sometimes things sell out FAST on Prime Day – so having an edge can help you score the best of the best deals before they’re gone! Here are three ways to get a jump:
- Add Your Most-Wanted Items To “Your List”
If there’s something you want to buy “add it to a list” to get notified if it goes on sale. Even if you have NO IDEA what’s going to go on sale for Prime Day – go ahead and add items you’re wanting to “your list” and then when/if they go on sale, you’ll get a notification so you can hop on the deal! - Alexa Voice Shoppers Get Early Deals
Customers shopping with devices powered by Alexa (like an Echo or Echo Dot) can get access to select deals early. - Stalk Lightning Deals Early
On the eve of Amazon Prime Day 2026, check and see what upcoming lightning deals are headed your way. You can sort by category (Electronics, Health & Beauty, Etc…) and that way you’ll be prepared for the flash sales that end fast. If using the Amazon App: If you find an upcoming deal you’re interested in – click “WATCH THIS DEAL” and you’ll get an alert when it goes live! This feature isn’t available on desktop. - Don’t ignore the Waitlist!
If a Lightning Deal you want sells out super fast, sign up for the waitlist! Often times items aren’t “sold out” they’re just in everyone’s cart. But lots of people change their mind and remove items from their cart, and then you’ll be alerted so you can buy it at the Lightning Deal price 🙂
5 . Watch for Extra Coupon Savings!
In addition to sales for Prime Day – we will also be seeing extra coupons on many items! If you’re not sure how to find the coupon on an item page – just look under the price for the Coupon Box. Some coupons are only available if you are choosing Subscribe & Save (And some are only visible if you choose one-time purchase!)
Want to see ALLLL the coupons? Head over here and search by brand, newest to oldest, or highest value!
