Get Excited For Amazon Prime Day 2018

Get excited, folks: if history has taught us anything, Amazon Prime Day 2018 is just around the corner! Every July, Amazon picks a magical day to roll out hundreds of thousands of exclusive deals on electronics, clothing, homeware, kitchen gadgets and everything in between. And while Amazon hasn't announced the official date for Prime Day 2018 just yet, there's still plenty to do in the meantime to be sure you're prepared.

Here's where to start if you want to win big on the biggest online shopping day of the year:

#1 Sign up for your 30-day trial of Amazon Prime today

If you're not a Prime member yet, now is the time to sign up for a free 30-day trial. Why?

That way, even if you don't end up purchasing a Prime membership, you'll still have access to the best deals on the biggest sales day of the year.

You'll get free 2-day shipping on millions of items, plus you can stream the best music hits from your favorite artists, watch hundreds of movies, TV shows and Amazon originals, and read what you want, when you want with Prime Reading.
