Access the best Prime Day deals (UK)

Published

The wait for Prime Day is almost over, so maybe it’s time you finally signed up for that Amazon Prime membership? If you’ve been debating whether or not to commit, this might be your moment to take the plunge. With Prime Day just around the corner, and literally millions of deals about to drop, we wouldn’t want you to miss out. 

There are plenty of reasons to subscribe to Amazon Prime, but the fact that you need a Prime membership to access all of the best Prime Day deals is definitely the most persuasive. Amazon Prime includes free shipping, access to exclusive deals on subscription services, and much more, but Prime Day is when it really pays to be a member. 

How do you sign up for Amazon Prime?

If you’ve never been an Amazon Prime member, we recommend starting off with a 30-day free trial. This gives you a taste of what’s on offer without any sort of commitment. This is also the best option if you are just looking to profit from Prime Day. You can sign up for a free trial, bag some of the best bargains from the shopping event, and then get out without spending a penny. If you choose to continue with Amazon Prime after the trial period, you’ll need to pay £79 a year or £7.99 a month.

Needless to say, Amazon wants you to sign up for Prime. This is why you’re constantly pointed in the direction of membership options. The good news for anyone who actually wants to commit is that it’s easy to get the jobe done. If you want the pay monthly plan, you just need to look out for the “TRY PRIME” buttons. If you prefer to pay annually, the best method of subscribing is finding the “SEE MORE PLANS” button, which is directly underneath the “TRY PRIME” button. From here, you can select a plan, create an account and password, and enter your address and payment information.

What are the benefits of Amazon Prime?

There are absolutely loads of benefits to , so we’ve gone ahead and highlighted the things that matter most:

A membership is clearly stacked with benefits, including, of course, access to Prime Day deals on June 21 and 22. Whether you have a free trial or a full membership, you can maximise your chances to save on Prime Day with Amazon Prime.

Is Amazon Prime actually worth it?

There are plenty of reasons to take your business to retailers other than Amazon, and whether or not a Prime membership will benefit you from a financial standpoint depends on your priorities as a shopper.

It’s important to consider how much you generally order things online, and how many of those things can feasibly come from Amazon. If you spent more than £79 on shipping in the past year and would’ve been cool with all of those items coming from Amazon, well, a membership makes a lot of sense. Another element to consider is shipping speed: A massive percentage of Prime purchases will come in two days or fewer, which could be really useful if you’re the type to forget to purchase gifts until the last minute.

It’s also worth considering the other services that come with Prime. If you would pay for Prime Video and full-rate Amazon Music Unlimited separately anyway, it might make mathematical sense to spring for the full Prime membership, which includes both. If you don’t plan on using those features, though, the allure of Amazon Prime might lessen.

If you don’t think Amazon Prime is for you but still want access to Prime Day deals, consider opting for the free trial now and simply cancelling your membership once Prime Day is over. It’s sneaky, but it’s a tried and tested method.
