Prime Day Sale: The countdown has begun. Amazon Prime Day 2025 is set to go live from July 12 to July 14, promising massive discounts, limited-time offers, and Prime-exclusive deals across categories. But if you want more than just a casual scroll-and-shop, a little strategy can go a long way in turning this sale into a savings bonanza.
Here’s your 7-point cheat sheet to make the most of Prime Day this year:
1. Combine Bank Offers With Other Discounts
Amazon usually partners with major banks like HDFC, ICICI, and SBI to offer instant discounts during Prime Day. These can be further sweetened with no-cost EMI options, Amazon Pay cashback, or coupon codes. The trick is to stack them smartly — check which combinations give you the biggest savings and plan your payment method accordingly.
2. Keep An Eye On Lightning Deals
Lightning Deals are fast, unpredictable, and often the best way to grab high-demand products at steep discounts. But they don’t last long. Check the sale feed regularly, turn on app notifications, and be ready to hit “buy” the moment the deal goes live — especially for gadgets, appliances, and top-selling fashion.
3. Wishlist Now, Buy Later
Don’t wait till the sale day to start browsing. Add your most-wanted items to your wishlist or shopping cart now. This way, you’ll be able to track real-time price drops as soon as the deals kick in and won’t waste time searching when stock is limited.
4. Don’t Ignore Bundled Offers
Sometimes, a product bundled with accessories, an extended warranty, or a service plan offers better overall value than the lowest standalone price. Keep an eye out for these combo deals, especially on smartphones, laptops, and large appliances.
5. Prioritise Big-Ticket Items Early
Electronics, smart TVs, laptops, and kitchen gadgets are usually the first to fly off the shelves. If you’re planning a major purchase, target those categories early in the sale before moving on to lifestyle, home, or fashion picks.
6. Watch Out For Prime-Only Deals
Some of the most lucrative offers are available only to Prime members. If you’re not subscribed yet, consider signing up — or activate the free trial — to gain full access to exclusive deals, early access, and fast delivery perks.
7. Set A Budget — And Stick To It
The sheer volume of discounts can tempt anyone into impulse buying. Make a budget in advance, list your priorities, and stick to your plan. This way, you’ll walk away with things you actually need, at prices that feel like a win.
So get your wishlist ready, stay alert, and shop smart. Prime Day 2025 could be your best shopping spree yet — if you play it right.
