Prime Day is Tuesday July 12, 2016

One of the latest benefits of being a Prime Day is an annual “Prime Day” every July. This year’s Prime Day will take place on Tuesday, July 12, in 2016. Tuesday is a good choice because most people are spaced out on Mondays, recovering from the shock of going back to work and from whatever adventures they had during the weekend.

Already, Amazon has setup a Special Page with teasers of the various promotions that will be running during that day. If you are not a paying member right now, you can still participate by starting a 30-day free trial. There are free trial buttons all over the place on that page (if you are not already a Prime member ~ they don’t show those to Prime members for obvious reasons).

If you are NOT a Prime member you can start a FREE 30-Day Trial and participate in the July 12 festivities. If you don’t like the Prime membership, make sure you cancel it before the 30 days are over, and you won’t be charged.

Their Mobile Website is also PrimeDay crazy. Just look at all the pretty pastel-ish decorations in the screenshot below 🙂

The mechanics of the promotions are similar to the daily lightning deals, but the promise and premise of this is that they will have more offers and better prices and better selections. I don’t think I would call it a Black Friday, but rather Ligthning Deals on metaphorical Steroids.
