Amazon’s annual Prime Day event is nearly upon us. Bargain hunters can look forward to discounts across a wide range of departments on Tuesday, July 16.
These discounts will be exclusively available to Prime members, who can expect savings in areas such as beauty, tech, homeware, baby and toddler, kitchen and much more. If you’re not yet a Prime member but want to join in time for the sale, there’s still plenty of time.
You can sign up to Amazon Prime here for £8.99 a month. The subscription comes with a 30 day free trial, or you can opt to pay upfront for 12 months instead of monthly – this will cost you £95.

Prime members enjoy unlimited free delivery on all their orders and access to Amazon TV. The website has also launched a special deal for students aged between 18 to 22 years old.
Students can benefit from an offer where they’ll receive a six-month free trial before their monthly payments begin. Instead of the usual £8.99 monthly fee, you’ll pay just £4.39 – that’s a saving of £47.49 a year, as reported by the Mirror.
John Boumphrey, UK country manager at Amazon, said: “We’re always looking for ways to provide more value to our customers and offering 18 to 22 year olds 50 per cent off Prime membership helps to make the wide range of Prime benefits even more accessible to young people. This is a really important time in their lives, so helping them save while enjoying great shopping and entertainment benefits will make a big difference, whether they’re going to university, starting work, or moving out of home for the first time.”
Fancy free takeaway delivery? Access to Deliveroo Plus is one of a host of advantages of Amazon Prime membership, including exclusive Prime Day discounts and perks on Hello Fresh, music, books and Prime Video. Usually £8.99 a month, you can now get a 30-day free trial to get access to the latest deals.
The website has kicked off with some Early Deals to tempt customers, including this Blink bundle, which includes an outdoor camera and doorbell. Prime members can bag a saving of £94.99, now on sale for £54.99 – down from £149.98.
