How can I ensure I don’t miss out on the deals?

Amazon is a major player in the Black Friday game, and they’ve got you covered with their Deals page. Start browsing early to spot those attractive deals. For a more personalized shopping experience, Amazon’s virtual assistant, Alexa, can notify you of deals up to 24 hours in advance on items in your Wish List, Carts, or Saved for Later lists. You can also stay updated on personalized deals by simply asking Alexa, “What are my deals?” If you’re worried about missing out when the deals go live, Alexa can remind you or even make a purchase for you with a quick “Alexa, buy it for me.”

How do I become an Amazon Prime member before Black Friday?

To fully capitalize on the benefits of an Amazon Prime membership during the holiday season and beyond, it’s time to join the Prime club.

Prime membership offers not only fast and free delivery but also access to exclusive deals and the convenience of Buy With Prime. In the United States, you can become a Prime member for $14.99 per month or $139 per year. If you’re unsure, you can start with a free 30-day trial to see if it suits your needs. Once you’re in, you’ll unlock a world of entertainment with Prime Video, Amazon Music, Prime Gaming, RxPass, Grubhub+, Amazon Photos, and exclusive Prime deals.

If you’re a college student, there’s Prime Student, which starts with a generous six-month trial and then costs just $7.49 per month or $69 per year. Those receiving government assistance can access Prime Access for $6.99 per month.
