What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon's biggest sale of the year is called Prime Day. It is an exclusive for Amazon Prime members and performs in the summer. You can find some non-Prime offers during the sale, but the best discounts come from memberships.

Signing up for Prime membership is required to get all deal eligbility. $139 per year is the current price. If you haven't been a member before, you can start a free 30-day trial.

You can sign up for a 30-day trial of Amazon Prime.

1. Go to Amazon Prime (opens in new tab) 2. Select: Start your free trial 3. Follow the instructions

4. Start browsing deals (opens in new tab)

Prime Day began in 2015 to celebrate Amazon's 20th anniversary and to encourage consumers to spend their money outside of the holiday season. The goal was to offer a volume of deals greater than Black Friday, according to the online retailer.

The annual sale attracts other retailers who try to compete with their own deals, and we will keep you up to date. We will show you what's happening at Amazon as well as other large retailers.

Since other companies want to get the customers that Amazon is vying to get, it's common for Walmart, Best Buy and other big box stores to get involved. If you shop around at these companies, you can see if they have the same offerings as Prime Day. You don't have to be a member of Amazon to participate.

There are three. You should know what you want.

To make sure you're prepared for the big event, consult our buying guides here at Space.com. The best telescopes will show you which ones are best to use. Lego deals will get builders of all ages together, while Star Wars gifts will help the Jedi. We will be updating these pages in the weeks leading up to Prime Day.

There are four. Don't stay inflexible.

We will do our best to show you different versions of the same product to help you make the best choice. Make sure you don't get too connected to a single product because deals can expire quickly. People who are more flexible are more happy.

There are five. It's a good idea to start early.

As the event begins, gate-crashing deals are the best to find. For items with limited stock, like new Lego sets, you'll want to grab them as soon as possible. If you really want a specific thing, it's better to get it immediately rather than wait.

There are six. Don't forget to check back frequently.

Prime Day, or wait for Black Friday?

Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day are great times to get big-ticket items like binoculars, telescopes, Star Wars kits and board games. It's a good idea to decide when to jump.

Prime Day is likely to be your biggest shopping event if you are an Amazon fan. Best Buy, Target and Walmart are the only stores that jump in for Black Friday. Black Friday has a larger audience than Prime Day due to it being a membership event.

Prime Day is when you can get your items quicker. We will keep you informed of Black Friday opportunities if you want a wider range of retailers. Space.com will have coverage of the best space deals all the way through to Cyber Monday.
