Prime Day 2022 will take place on July 12th and 13th, 2022. But the first price hits and deals are already available on Amazon. Everything you need to know about the big bargain festival, the best offers there will be and tips for optimal preparation at GIGA.

When does Prime Day 2022 start at Amazon?

Of the Amazon Prime Day 2022 takes place this year on July 12th and 13th instead of. Amazon announced this in a press release (source: Amazon).

In 2021 Amazon celebrated Prime Day on June 21st and 22nd, in 2020 the two-day shopping event did not take place until October. However, both dates were postponed due to Corona, among other things, because Prime Day traditionally takes place in mid-July. This means that Prime Day is returning to its scheduled roots – although rumors are already circulating about a second Prime Day in October. For now, however, we are concentrating on the imminent date.

Amazon Prime Day: What is it and who can participate?

As the name suggests, Prime Day is an exclusive bargain festival where not all Amazon customers have access to the offers, but only Prime members. Prime costs 69 euros a year or 7.99 euros a month and offers many other advantages. Loyal Amazon customers already have Prime and anyone who is unsure can test the service for 30 days free of charge.

Tip: Start the free trial month just before Prime Day to take full advantage of the event. For example, you have 30 minute early access to Lightning Deals, which can tip the scales, especially on Prime Day. If you don’t like Prime, you can cancel your Amazon account membership with just a few clicks.

How do I best prepare for Prime Day 2022?

In order to be optimally prepared for the discount battle and to exploit the maximum savings potential, you should do the following things:

1. Non-Prime members should use the free month (register here) shortly before the event starts.
2. Create a wish list with the products you want to buy in advance and install the Amazon app. You will then be notified as soon as your desired product is cheaper on Prime Day.
3. Amazon offers that will start soon can be observed. You will also receive a push notification as soon as it starts.
4. Power shoppers can also install the Amazon Assistant. This is an extension for your browser that helps you find offers.
5. Important tip: Comparing prices is worthwhile, but it is also exhausting. You can also save yourself the trouble by checking the GIGA Deals regularly. We only report on (Amazon) bargains that are unbeatably cheap.
6. If you want to compare prices yourself: First put the product in the shopping cart, then take a look at idealo, Geizhals and Co. Otherwise, the item will be sold out before you know if it was even a bargain.
7. In general, daily deals are more interesting than lightning deals, but daily deals can also be sold out within a few minutes! Especially coveted console bundles were sold out in no time in the past.
8. Savvy bargain hunters know that the best deals can be found among the Amazon Warehouse Deals. On Prime Day there’s a further discount of up to 30 percent on the already discounted returns. So it’s worth taking a look, but you should grab it quickly, because the deals in the Amazon warehouse are one-offs. What’s gone is gone.
