If you’re not already a member and you want to become one to take full advantage of Amazon Prime Day then you can easily sign up and start a 30-day free trial at amazon.com/primeday to participate in Prime Day.

After the 30 day trail, a Prime Monthly account will cost $6.99 a month, which is actually half the cost of a US subscription.

Even better, if you have an Amazon Alexa just say, “Alexa, keep me posted on Prime Day” and you’ll be reminded when the day start.

What Amazon Prime Deals Are Available in Australia?

Last year, the biggest sellers were electronics and computers. Amazon Prime Day is also a favourite for parents wanting to buy Christmas presents early.
