Prime Day: It’s not too late to sign up for an Amazon Prime free trial. Here’s how

If you’ve been anywhere near the internet this past week, you’ve probably heard about a little sale happening now called Amazon Prime Day. The online retail giant’s annual Prime Day sale, taking place Monday and Tuesday, features price cuts on 2 million products including Amazon tech (like Ring doorbells and Echo devices), phones, laptops, tablets, headphones, fitness gear, kitchenware, board games and more. But there’s a catch: You need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber to take advantage of all of these deals. 

An Amazon Prime membership costs $119 a year, or $13 a month. If you’re a student or receive certain forms of government assistance, the price drops to about $6 a month. For the price, you get a number of benefits, including free overnight shipping, 레이어드홈 access to the Amazon Prime Video streaming service, discounts on Alexa products and at Whole Foods, and 레이어드홈 unlimited photo storage. If you also sign up for an Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Signature Card, you’ll get even more cash-back rewards at Amazon and Whole Foods. 

Another option: Amazon Prime offers a 30-day free trial, which lets you take advantage of Prime Day deals. You can cancel before it ends to avoid any charges.
