Amazon Prime Day 2021 is in the rear-view. On the books. Over and done. “That’s a wrap, people!” But, as we predicted, some deals are still available. If you were off-planet the last couple days or waiting for that check to finally clear, you’ve still got a shot at some good bargains.
One thing to note: Although most Amazon-branded gear has returned to regular price, it won’t stay there for long. All throughout the year, every few weeks or so, we see discounts on things like Kindle e-readers, Fire TV Sticks and Echo Show smart displays. Not Prime Day-level discounts, but discounts all the same. Bottom line: Never, ever pay full price for these devices.
There’s one particularly great “deal” you can still get: If you’re a Prime subscriber and don’t already have an Amazon Prime Rewards Visa card, Amazon is still offering a $150 gift card when you sign up. Usually this perk is around $70, so don’t pass up this bonus money.
Let’s move on to the best deals still available.
Isn’t it time to start calling it “Prime Days”? Because it hasn’t been just a single day for years. Once again, it’s a 48-hour event that runs as follows.
These are all the deals that are currently live.
As always, anything and everything. But this is definitely the time of year to look for deep discounts on Amazon gear, including:
Granted, that stuff goes on sale all the time — a recent Mother’s Day sale revealed savings rivaling Prime Day on a lot of these devices — but the absolute lowest prices are usually reserved for Prime Day and Black Friday.
We also typically see better-than-usual deals on things like Instant Pots, Apple AirPods, Bose headphones and Roku streamers. Make no mistake: This might be Amazon’s party, but plenty of other stores and sellers will be getting in on the action.
This may be an Amazon event, but that’s not stopping other stores from holding sales at the same time. Walmart announced a Deals for Days event running from June 21 to 23. Similarly, Target’s Deal Days event runs from June 20 to 22. Best Buy is dropping tons of deals too.
The best thing you can do is sign up for an Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card. It’s a no-annual-fee card, so there’s no cost to get it. Once you’re approved, you’ll immediately receive a $100 Amazon gift card, and then get 5% cash back on most Amazon purchases — including products that are on sale for Prime Day. Sometimes Amazon bumps that cash back to 10% or 15% on select items.
Right now, for example, you can also get 15% back on various Kasa smart home products, 10% back on the Amazfit Band 5 and more.
This year Amazon is busting out some new tricks to promote the massive event. The retail giant held a three-part concert series called The Prime Day Show on June 16, livestreaming performances from Kid Cudi, H.E.R. and Billie Eilish and backstage material. The livestreams will be available for 30 days.
