Bloomingdale: Here's Your Primer On Amazon Prime Day

BLOOMINGDALE, FL – Hold onto your hats but keep your wallets handy.

Starting at 3 p.m. Monday, July 16, and running for 36 hours, you can get a five-month jump on holiday shopping during Amazon Prime Day.

The fourth annual Amaz0n Prime Day promises bigger and better deals than Black Friday. Amazon Prime members can shop more than one million deals throughout the site with new deals starting as often as every five minutes.

There’s just one catch: You have to be an Amazon Prime member to participate. So sign up for a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime before 3 p.m.

You'll get free two-day shipping on hundreds of thousands of items, plus you can stream your favorite music, watch hundreds of movies and TV shows and what you want, when you want with Prime Reading.
