Why do people love Amazon Prime? There are many reasons: super fast and convenient delivery options, huge libraries of music and movies, and all the groceries and household items you need. And then there’s Amazon Prime Day.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
The annual sale, which takes place from June 21-22 this year, offers Amazon Prime Members exclusive deals on everything from eBooks to gaming laptops to furniture.
A subscription would typically set you back $12.99 a month, but the e-commerce giant is now giving people a taste with a free 30-day trial subscription – just in time for the big blowout.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2021?
Amazon Prime Day happens from June 21-22. Besides sales and markdowns, Prime members can earn an extra $10 credit for every $10 spent on Amazon’s small business department – over 300,000 sellers are participating this year.
