Just announced this morning Amazon Prime members now have 30-minute early access to to Amazon’s lightning Deals! This is another AWESOME perk because the lightning deals are a SUPER way to save during the holidays, but they often sell out quickly.
Amazon Prime is $99/year and with it you get a LOT of perks. My favorite perk is the FREE 2-day shipping on all orders. So if I find an item for $3 deal, it ships FREE!
Other Amazon Prime perks:
- FREE Two-Day shipping with Amazon Prime
- Unlimited music streaming
- Watch unlimited movies and TV shows with Prime Instant Video – we also LOVE this perk
- Early Access to Lightning Deals and MyHabit.com
- A Prime membership includes over 500,000 free ebooks
You can give Amazon Prime a try with the FREE 30-day free trial. The holidays are a GREAT time to give this trial a go because you can also ship items to ANYONE using the Prime benefit of FREE shipping. For example, I just sent my Grandma a 2015 calendar for around $3 after an awesome sale and coupon.
So more about Amazon lightning deals. . .
What is a Amazon lightning deal? Lightning deals are sales that start at a certain time, last a limited time and have a limited quantity. They are usually rock-bottom prices.
Where can you find lightning deals? Amazon has lightning deals in every category of the site. You can find most of the Amazon lightning deals here. But as we get closer to the holidays we will see more lightning deals on the specific category pages (like toys, electronics, clothing, etc.)
How can you tell what products will be offered via lightning deals? The lightning deals have a bit of mystery to them. We never know what the price will be before the sale starts and sometimes, we aren’t even sure what the product will be. Sometimes they include a photo as a sneak peek – but other times it can be a coy product description that essentially is a clue, but not a definitive description of what will be on sale.
