Two days run the Prime Day on Amazon. We present you tips on how to save money on Prime Day.
What is Prime Day? Prime Day on Amazon starts with thousands of great deals. The Prime Day only runs from July 12 at midnight until midnight on July 13. So you have a full 2 days to take advantage of the offers.
Great offers may sound tempting at first, but you should still be careful and not buy everything that smiles at you in your browser on your PC or in your Amazon app on your phone.
MeinMMO presents you some tips to keep in mind for Prime Day. Because then you save more money than if you just shop blindly. Most tips can also be used in other shops.
Make a list
What is the benefit? Make a list in advance of what products you are interested in before Prime Day. Write down the most interesting graphics cards or kitchen appliances on a list, making it easier to overview the thousands of offers on Prime Day.
On Amazon, you can also create your own lists where the products will be listed directly under each other.
Especially for gaming accessories or monitors, you can often save money on Prime Day. You can find a few recommendations in the following article:
Compare prices
What is the benefit? Compare prices before you buy things. When you compare prices, you can truly see how good the deal is.
Comparison portals like Idealo or Geizhals show you very quickly whether the current deal is a great offer or if the product has been available at this price for months.
This way, you can not only save a lot of money, but also avoid buying supposed bargains that are not even on sale.
Vouchers and discount codes
What is the benefit? With many offers on Amazon, you can use a voucher. Below the price, there will be an orange button (Coupon) with the participation conditions. If you check the box here, you often save a few percent on the offer price.
Some manufacturers also offer their own promotions. If you previously bought a product from a manufacturer and received a code for your next purchase with that manufacturer, don’t forget to use it.
Don’t buy just because it’s a deal
On Prime Day and other days, shops and also Amazon advertise with great discounts and special offers that are only available at this time. However, do not be fooled. Because these are psychological tricks to get you to fill your cart as much as possible.
So before the big purchase, consider whether you really want to buy the items and whether you actually need them? Does it have to be the new device or should I rather go for the used offer? In the worst case, your purchases end up in the basement and remain untouched for months.
Check the seller
What is the benefit? Many shopping customers also attract fraudsters who want to profit from the customers. Therefore, always pay attention to whom and from whom you are buying! This is quite simple, because under the two buttons “Add to cart” and “Buy now” it always shows the seller.
In the best case, it says “Sold and shipped by Amazon”. In this case, you can easily request a refund or a return. If it says “Fulfilled by Amazon”, in many cases you are still safe.
You should become suspicious if the seller is a seller who has only been active on Amazon since Prime Day or if the offers are too good to be true. A RTX 3090 for 600 Euros? Such offers should be questioned. A look at the seller’s reviews can also help.
Never pay with advance payment to sellers and never let yourself be tempted to talk to sellers externally. If the seller on Amazon prefers to handle the sale via email, that should be a clear warning sign. Because as soon as you leave Amazon, you are no longer protected.
Utilize the benefits of your Amazon credit card
What is the benefit? When you shop with the Amazon credit card, you receive a portion of your spending (2%, 3% for Prime members) back in the form of points. You can then spend these points on Amazon during a purchase and save money this way. You can save even more with certain Amazon offers.
If you already have an Amazon credit card, you should take advantage of this benefit. As a Prime member, you actually pay no annual fee for the credit card.
