For the past two years, Amazon has run “Amazon Prime Day” which for the most part has offered deals similar to or even better then Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Fortunately, Amazon announced that it will be running this fabulous sale for the 3rd year in a row, although the exact date is still TBD. In 2015, the one-day-sale was on Wednesday July 15, in 2016 it was on Tuesday July 11, so the assumption is that this year will fall somewhere between July 10 and July 13. Amazon will definitely let us know ahead of time though! And in the past there was Amazon Prime week which offered some deals a week prior to the official “Amazon Prime Day”. Hopefully, they will have a full week of deals this year as well!
While the Amazon Prime Day page is not yet updated with any information for 2017, the description for the Amazon site when you google “Amazon Prime Day” shows that Amazon Prime Day 2017 is coming soon. This page will list all information including dates and deals!

You need an Amazon Prime account!
Unfortunately, the only way to gain access to the Amazon Prime Day deals is by having an Amazon Prime account, or using a friend/family members account who is an Amazon Prime member. Amazon Prime membership is up to $99 a year or $10.99/month, or you can sign up for a free 30-day trial (just wait a few weeks before signing up). Or, if you have a student e-mail address, you can get an Student Amazon Prime membership for half price or a free 6-month trial membership.

“The past two years was exactly 7 weeks after July 4th, so if they keep the same trend, then this year it will be July 11, 2017.”
Assume you mean 7 DAYS.
Thanks for the heads up.
LOL, I forgot about 2015, when July 4th came on the 8th. 🙂
Thanks still, though, Jennifer for the heads up. I forget about this one each year.
Were there discounted Prime memberships available for sale in prior years?
