Who can take advantage of Prime Day sales?
Amazon Prime members can take advantage of the deals, even if you're not already signed up you can try out Amazon's free, 30-day Prime trial. Importantly, remember that if you don’t cancel before the 30-day trial finishes, your membership will cost $12.99 per month or $119 per year.
Will other retailers will be cashing in on Prime Day?
From last year we think it's likely that Walmart, Best Buy and Target are very likely to have deals running concurrently with the Prime Day ones. Some might have even started theirs a few days earlier. Anything you know you want that may run out on super-sale day, it could be wise to check out the competition early.
