Are you looking for a bargain? With the holiday season of 2021 behind them, bargain-hunting internet surfers are already looking forward to the next big thing: Amazon Prime Day.
Amazon had to move its annual shopping holiday from July to October in 2020 due to the COVID-19 epidemic. It was revived last year as a summer-themed sales bonanza. Here's what to expect in 2022.
What is the date of Prime Day in 2022?
Amazon hasn't made any official announcements, but bargain hunters are seldom satisfied. They need to know when Amazon will give cheap air fryers and robot vacuums to Prime members who have paid $139. It's a safe bet that Amazon will conduct Prime Day in June or July on a Monday or Tuesday; one new rumor predicts July 11 or July 18. Rest assured, we'll keep this story updated as new information becomes available.
What Is the Duration of Prime Day Deals?
Here's Amazon's Prime Day history for the planners and forecasters:

When Will Prime Day Be Announced by Amazon?
There will be speculations based on leaks from workers or partners in the months leading up to Prime Day. However, Amazon is unlikely to announce until a few weeks before the event. Prime Day 2021 was revealed on June 2, roughly 2.5 weeks ahead of schedule. It did the same thing in 2020, when the pandemic-delayed Prime Day was revealed two weeks before the big day, on Sept. 28.
What Is Prime Day, Exactly?
Prime Day is the event of a once-a-year discount for users of Amazon's Prime program. It began in 2015 as a "one-day-only event crammed with more offers than Black Friday, only for Prime members across the world," as part of Amazon's 20th-anniversary celebrations. That initial Prime Day wasn't exactly a smash hit. The company's sale products soon sold out, and waiting lines formed, leaving customers with little alternatives.
The next year, Amazon appeared to be getting its act together a little more, and competitors such as Walmart moved in with counter-sales. Since then, Prime "Day" has grown to a two-day event, including early offers in the days preceding up to the major event.
To receive the greatest deals on Prime Day, you'll need to be a Prime member. If you aren't already a member, you may join for free for the first 30 days, after which it costs $139 per year (or $14.99 per month). Once you've signed up for Prime and logged in to your account, Prime Day pricing will appear on the Amazon website and apps, and you may add items to your basket and check out as usual. (If you want, you can always sign up for a monthly account and cancel later.)
Is it true that if you spend $10, you'll get $10?
Amazon has emphasized purchases from third-party vendors in recent years in an effort to appear less like an online monster that governs us all. It promised 1 million Prime Day bargains from small and medium-sized enterprises last year. Members who bought $10 on chosen small business items and brands received a pre-Prime Day $10 credit to utilize on Prime Day. Look for a repetition of the transaction, or something close, in 2022.
- When you buy at smile.amazon.com (rather than www.amazon.com), Amazon contributes 0.5 percent of the purchase price of eligible items to a charity of your choosing. Because the experience is the same, it's a simple way to contribute while you fill your shopping basket.
- If you plan on being out and about on Prime Day, download Amazon's mobile applications, login, and you'll be ready to purchase from anywhere.
- Why are you moving at all, Alexa? Alexa is more than happy to assist you in adding items to your basket because the main goal of Amazon's Echo devices is to sell you goods.
- Amazon Stores: Amazon owns Whole Foods and operates a number of physical sites. In-store offers are expected at Whole Foods Market, Amazon 4-star, Amazon Books, Amazon Pop Up, Amazon Go, and Amazon Fresh locations.
- Amazon Live: Last year, Amazon Live featured offers chosen by Amazon's small companies.
