Set deal notifications

On Prime Day sales come and go quickly. Prime members can receive deal-alert notifications related to their recent Amazon searches and recently viewed items.

Set up your deal notifications by visiting the Prime Day event page on the Amazon app ahead of July 17. Once the event begins, members will only receive alerts on available deals they’ve subscribed to.

Use an Amazon price tracker

Camelcamelcamel is a free price tracking tool that shoppers can use to view a product’s price history on Amazon. For example, if you wanted to buy a certain air fyer and it's listed for £80 on Amazon, you might not be sure if this is a good deal or not.

Through the price tracker, you can check the item’s average list price over the last few months to make an informed purchasing decision. 

Download the Amazon app

The Amazon app makes it easier to track and discover deals. You can also check on your order status and get access to customer support should you have any problems. 

Ahead of Amazon Prime Day, the online retailer are offering early deals across technology, clothing, beauty, garden and more. Amazon aren't the only brand to have a summer sale - save up to £90 on Ninja appliances here and stock up your wardrobe for less in the White Stuff sale.
