Prime Day : Black Friday before the time!

There are more and more events where consumers can save money, starting with appliance stores. Off the top of our heads, the first ones that come to mind are Black Friday and Boxing Day. However, that’s not taking the competition seriously, since a newcomer is set to launch its own event. It’s called “Prime Day,” an initiative by Amazon, which has decided to join the price war and offer exceptional deals on online shopping.

What You Need to Know

Amazon Prime Day has been held in late June since 2015. However, this year, it will take place on June 21 and 22 due to the pandemic. Last year, the event took place in October due to COVID-19. This opportunity for exclusive deals is available to members who are signed up for Amazon Prime. As a reminder, an Amazon Prime membership provides access to movies, music, and other fast-delivery services. Amazon Prime Day is packed with deals, as evidenced by its 2 million opportunities to save even more.

 

There is a good variety of products, ranging from video games to high-end technology—but that’s not all. There will also be plenty of other product categories on sale. The discount on purchases applies as a 10-euro coupon on any purchase of 10 euros or more. In Canadian dollars, this is equivalent to $14.69. In U.S. dollars, this amounts to $12.13.
