Why wouldn't they put this on a Friday so I can at least get my check :[

Anedar · Jul 6, 2015

Does anyone know if this is US only or for all amazon sites?

Or being a student.

RPGCrazied · Jul 6, 2015

I will keep an eye open, but I seriously doubt insane deals is going to come out of this.

Mr. Luchador · Jul 6, 2015

Here's hoping, I'm already prepared to weep internet tears at the US Prime Sales being better than the EU/UK Sales.

not expecting much tbh

Does anyone ever accidentally charge the wrong card or ship to the wrong address, or are there safeguards against that?

You still have different accounts, just associated with the main prime account holder, I think.

You also can't access prime video or music if you are one of the associated accounts, unless that changed recently.

massoluk · Jul 6, 2015

Hopefully they have some PS4 deal on that day.

Smithy C · Jul 6, 2015

It's probably dumb of me to be considering getting Prime just so I can look out for deals on a TV, when the money I'd be saving would probably be around the same amount as getting Prime, right?

Someone please talk me out of this.

Please.

Just realised my Student auto-renewed about 2 weeks ago. Oh well. Might be handy for this.

BlackGhost · Jul 7, 2015

Hope we get some ideas on what some of the deals will be

Yeah, weird that we haven't gotten any kind of deal teases, I thought I remember Amazon hyping their BF deals. Too early, maybe.

IchigoSharingan · Jul 7, 2015

A stopgap to black Friday?

Not a bad time to put CES 2015 tech on a 40%ish discount

Speevy · Jul 7, 2015

Someone buy me something. I'm totally broke.

a secret-boss · Jul 7, 2015

I wonder if 75% of the sale are jewelry like their lighting deals lol

RyudBoy · Jul 7, 2015

Nice!

LostCaress · Jul 7, 2015

Spent so much money on amazons (uk,it,sp,fr, etc...), too bad I can't get prime in my country

Walpurgis · Jul 7, 2015

Hourly deals sounds like it will be a very stressful 24 hours. I'm sure the sale in Canada will be utter crap and I won't be able to import from the U.S. because of our ass dollar.

darkwing · Jul 7, 2015

welp, time to renew

Thank you, need to start a one month trial then.

Maninthemirror · Jul 7, 2015

I just signed up for Prime again due to this. this better be good

Yup, that's how they do their Black Friday sales. You gotta refresh throughout the day to find something good. They will show "upcoming" items for the next block, but the more popular items fly off in minutes, so you gotta be ready.

Dedication Through Light · Jul 7, 2015

Must going to be good since they not only talked about this on the evening local news but also had commercials on primetime tv (ABC)

King Cobra · Jul 7, 2015

Neat

I have prime but rarely use it.

many places · Jul 7, 2015

Was already considering re-upping my Prime so i think i might now with this coming up.

Vanish · Jul 7, 2015

Would this work with a free trial? how can i get a free trial?

RatskyWatsky · Jul 9, 2015

I hope the Kindle Paperwhite will be on sale!

Apt101 · Jul 9, 2015

I'm hoping for a good deal on a 50"-55" TV. My old 47" with two HDMI ports ain't cutting it.

Aikidoka · Jul 9, 2015

I wonder if it would be best to put things in my cart now and kep an eye on them

MarkusRJR · Jul 9, 2015

All I want is a sale on the 500gb Xbox 360 or some decent sales on games (Batman Arkham Knight for example). PLEASE AMAZON. <3

Probably not going to happen though...

Same here. I've had my Sony Bravia 40 inch since 2008. It's one hell of a trooper, still going strong with extensive use. But I want a 50 inch so I'll be looking. 4k would be nice but I might wait another 4-5 years for that. I don't expect much 4k content until then.

Just sign up and then turn off auto-renewal; you don't get charged until your first (free) month ends.

Aikidoka said:

Considering that the discounts will probably work like Lightning Deals, this won't work.

Kinsella · Jul 9, 2015

Hoping to see some Astro products on sale.

hardcastlemccormick · Jul 9, 2015

Amazon is offering me Prime for $50. I was tempted to jump on this.

But...reasonable adult thinking, I don't need Prime and can't imagine I'd save more than $50 on anything in this sale so I'll probably pass.

Xplatformer · Jul 9, 2015

Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please

MSI or EVGA GTX 970 for $75 off.

27" Acer monitor for 20% off

Please Please Please Please Please Please Please

That is a good deal. If you switch to ordering most of your goods to on-line it will pay for itself in a few months. There's also the streaming content and "free" eBooks. I paid something like $70 for mine and it paid for itself in a month (granted I bought a couch with Prime shipping, which saved me a good $20 right there).

Guevara · Jul 9, 2015

I reaaaaaally doubt it's going to be as good as the Black Fridays of yore, but I'll admit they got me. I'll be on the Amazon all day July 15th just in case.

T-Rex. · Jul 9, 2015

Don't have work on the 15th so I'm looking forward to this. There's nothing I particularly want, but I'm sure I'll find stuff to ~~waste~~ spend money on.

NimbusD · Jul 9, 2015

Are they going to tease any of the sales? Or is it a complete free for all?

Sounds like someone who doesn't get everything delivered to their door in 1-2 days.

You are insane if you don't sign up for $50.

nhlducks35 · Jul 9, 2015

Prime became godlike when they added free same-day shipping

Liferebooted · Jul 9, 2015

Really hoping this doesn't work with trial accounts, that would pretty much kill the point of it being for prime members.

Why? The whole point of this promo is to get people to sign up. They'll keep some and lose some.

Have you tried getting deals on Amazon during Black Friday? The good shit is gone instantly. I'm guessing that's what Liferebooted is talking about.

That and all the people who will abuse the free trial just for this then cancel with no intention of actually paying for prime.
