Las ofertas de Prime Day comenzarán el 21 de junio y estarán repletas de ofertas. Amazon confirmó recientemente la fecha del Prime Day, que está sucediendo un mes antes de lo habitual. Además, Amazon dice que Prime Day 2021 incluirá más de dos millones de ofertas de Prime Day en todas las categorías durante un período de 48 horas.
En el pasado, Amazon Prime Day solía ocurrir en julio. Sin embargo, el año pasado la pandemia hizo que Amazon llevara su evento de ventas a octubre. Eso hace que este sea el segundo año consecutivo en que Amazon ha cambiado su fecha de Prime Day fuera de julio. De cualquier manera, estamos a solo unos días de ese primer lote de ofertas de Prime Day.
Así que estamos eche un vistazo a algunas de las mejores ofertas de Prime Day del año pasado para tener una idea de lo que podemos esperar de Prime Day 2021.

What is Amazon Prime Day 2021
Prime Day is a 48-hour retail holiday designed for Prime me mbers. Amazon Prime Day originally started in July of 2015 as a way to celebrate Amazon’s 20th anniversary. For 24 hours, Amazon slashed the price of hundreds of items on its site. The event was a hit and since then Amazon Prime Day has grown into a massive retail holiday.
Today, Prime Day deals include discounts on everything from the Echo Dot to Nike sneakers. It’s become a massive juggernaut for Amazon and we predict it’ll be just as strong in 2021 as it has been in previous years.
- Prime Day is a 2-day retail holiday for Prime members only
- Amazon promises over two million Prime Day deals in 2021
- Prime Day will be celebrated multiple countries
- Some of the best Prime Day deals will focus on Amazon hardware
When is Prime Day 2021
Prime Day 2021 will occur on June 21 and 22. For shoppers, it means Prime Day deals are just a few days out. Last year, Prime Day occurred on October 13. The pandemic and an unprecedented surge in deliveries caused Amazon to delay Prime Day by a few months. Traditionally, Prime Day is celebrated in mid July.
Where is Prime Day celebrated
The first Amazon Prime Day was celebrated in 9 countries including the U.S., UK, Spain, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada, and Austria. Amazon Prime Day has since expanded in popularity. Last year, Prime deals were held in 18 countries including the United States, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Singapore, Netherlands, Mexico, Luxembourg, Japan, Italy, India, Germany, Austria, France, China, Canada, Belgium, and Australia.
However, Amazon recently announced that it will pause Prime Day in Canada and India, reports CNBC. Both countries are undergoing significant COVID-19 spread, which is the reason Amazon is postponing its retail holiday.
How long do Prime day deals last?
Prime Day 2021 will last 48 hours as it did last year. However, Prime Day deals haven’t always lasted a full two days. The first Prime Day celebration lasted 24 hours. In 2017, Amazon expanded Prime Day’s duration from a 24-hour event to one that lasted for 30 hours. In 2018, Amazon expanded the holiday to 36 hours and in 2019 it lasted a full 48 hours.
Amazon Prime Day Whole Foods deals
Amazon-owned organic grocer Whole Foods plays a huge role on Prime Day. In fact, one of our favorite Amazon Prime Day deals comes from Whole Foods. For the past three years, Amazon has given Prime members who shop at Whole Foods a $10 Amazon credit that can be used on Amazon Prime Day.
Other Prime Day deals with Whole Foods include discounts on seafood, meat, organic produce, and more. Even if you’re not a fan of Whole Foods, it’s worth shopping there in the lead up to Prime Day (and during Prime Day) for the savings.
This year, Whole Foods has confirmed it will offer the following Prime Day deals from June 16 through the end of Prime Day.
- Single-serve mochi (BOGO)
- Beef rib steaks for $11.99/lb.
- Chilean sea bass for 25% off
- Reusable water bottles for 30% off
How to prepare for Amazon Prime Day 2021
- If you you’re not a Prime member, you can’t participate in Prime Day. However, what you can do is sign up for a free Prime membership. The free trial lasts 30 days, which is more than enough time to take advantage of Amazon’s sales. That said, you’ll want to plan your free trial so it falls during Prime Day 2021.
- Prime Day 2021 is bound to be a record-breaking day(s) for Amazon. That means some shipments may fall through the cracks. Here’s what to do in case you wind up with an Amazon Prime late delivery.
- Plan on cancelling your Prime membership? Check out our guide on how to cancel Amazon Prime.
- Don’t buy any Amazon devices just yet. Prime Day deals tend to focus on Amazon gear (e.g. Echo Dot, Kindle Paperwhite). Wait till Prime Day when these devices see their lowest price of the year.
What is the Amazon Prime Day Show
The Amazon Prime Day Show is a three-part musical event to celebrate this year’s Prime Day. Headlining the show are Billie Eilish, H.E.R., and Kid Cudi. The Prime Day Show will be available to stream on Prime Video beginning June 17. It’ll be available for Prime and non-members for 30 days.
Each celebrity will star in their own Prime Day Show, which will last from 25 to 27 minutes. These aren’t outright concerts, but instead Amazon describes them as”unique experiences that fuse performance and storytelling.”
This isn’t the first Prime Day Show we’ve seen from Amazon. In 2018, Amazon chose Ariana Grande, Alessia Cara, Kelsea Ballerina, and Julia Michaels to headline their show. The following year the Amazon Prime Day concert featured Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Becky G, and SZA. (There was no concert in 2020).
Best Prime Day deals to expect in 2021
Predicting Prime Day deals isn’t as hard as you think. Amazon tends to offer similar sales every year. For instance, every Prime Day brings about huge price cuts on all of Amazon’s smart devices. This includes the Echo Dot, Fire TV Stick, and Fire Tablets. You can also expect to see big price drops on Amazon’s Fire TV Edition TVs. Outside of Prime Day, the only time you’ll find cheaper prices on Amazon devices is during the Black Friday season. Below are some of the best Prime Day deals from the year before that will likely reappear during Prime Day 2021 — albeit with lower prices and on newer generation devices. Additionally, Amazon is kicking off the spring season with price drops on a variety of Echo devices.
Tips for finding the best Prime Day deals
Price check everything: Our number one rule when shopping on Prime Day is to price check what you’re about to buy. Price checking on Prime Day is quite easy. We’re big fans of CamelCamelCamel, a website that price checks millions of items sold on Amazon. The website tracks price lows, so if the item you’re looking at was cheaper in March, you’ll be able to see the price difference. There’s even a Chrome extension called Camelizer, which you can install and click on anytime you want to look at the price history of a product.
Keep in mind that there might be some items CamelCamelCamel doesn’t track. In those instances, we use Shopbrain or Shopsavvy. They won’t tell you the price history of an item, but they’ll tell you if a competing retailer offers a better price.
Don’t limit yourself to Amazon: That leads us to our second point: Prime Day is a faux retail holiday designed to promote Amazon devices and services. However, just like you wouldn’t buy your entire wardrobe from one designer, you shouldn’t do all of your Prime Day shopping at Amazon. Walmart, Target, and Best Buy are just a handful of competitors planning”Prime Day”sales of their own.
And based on what we saw from these retailers last year, we expect them to once again offer very competitive sales throughout the duration of Prime Day. Bottom line: Amazon doesn’t always offer the best prices.
Take advantage of free credits: Amazon really wants you to spend money on Prime Day. However, if there aren’t any items you want to buy or if you’re just really trying to stick to your budget, there are some pretty amazing Prime Day deals you can get right now. We like these deals because after spending $10, you’ll get a $10 Amazon credit in exchange.
Don’t buy new gadgets…yet: Amazon released a multitude of new gadgets a few days ago, including a new Amazon Echo and new Echo Dot. However, not all of them will be released in time for Prime Day. So be wary when you see deals on Amazon’s new devices. Plus, with Black Friday right around the corner, there’s a very high probability they’ll be cheaper in just a few weeks time. In fact, Black Friday prices — especially on Amazon devices — are typically $20 to $100 cheaper than Prime Day prices.
The same holds true for Apple’s new devices. While the Apple Watch SE and iPad 2020 are already on sale, chances are high they’ll be cheaper on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Avoid buying junk: The pandemic completely changed how we shop. Clorox Wipes, for instance, were more popular than swimsuits last summer. Meanwhile, Lysol Spray is still high in demand and sells out fast. That means Amazon and a lot of its 3rd party sellers are sitting on a stockpile of unsold items. As a result, this Prime Day you can expect to see a fire sale on a range of off-season items and apparel. Sure, prices will be low, but if you survived the past few months without it, chances are you don’t really need it.
Watch out for shady reviews: In addition to fake deals, shoppers should always keep an eye out for fake reviews. Although Amazon has removed many bogus reviews from its website, there are so many that it’s become near-impossible for Amazon to keep up. That’s why we’re fans of Fakespot. The site’s engine can analyze the quality of reviews on any Amazon page and churn out a letter grade indicating whether the product has mostly fake or real reviews. ReviewMeta is a similar site that looks for suspicious terminology or repeated phrases in reviews before offering a failing or passing grade.
Where to find alternative Prime Day deals
Over the past years, retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Target have held anti Prime Day deals of their own. Best Buy has been especially aggressive with its alternative Prime Day deals — oftentimes undercutting Amazon in certain categories like 4K TVs and smart home devices. Meanwhile, retailers like Walmart are also known for undercutting Amazon with their anti Prime Day deals. We’ll bring you the best alternative Prime Day deals during Amazon Prime Day and post Prime Day.
