Amazon Prime Day 2016 Deals, Wal-Mart Free Shipping

(Amazon Prime Day was July 12, 2016 and is now over. Some of the related deals below may still be live.)

Last year, Amazon made up it’s own Black Friday-esque holiday and called it Amazon Prime Day. It was mostly disappointing, but this year they have promised to do better and said that any marked deals will be at least a 20% discount from the previous 90-day average price. Hopefully, it will be worth a look and you’ll be able to save money on things you’ve been looking to buy anyway.

You must be an Amazon Prime member to get in on the deals, but free 30-day trial members also count. If you have a .edu e-mail address you can get a 6-month Amazon Student trial and $10.

Here are all the Amazon Prime Day deals, which will last until the end of July 12th 11:59pm Pacific. Selected ones below:

• Amazon Fire Tablet will be $33.33 (lowest price ever).
• Fire TV Streaming Stick will be $24.99 ($15 off the $39.99 regular price).
• Amazon Fire TV Box with Alexa and 4K Video for $69.99 ($30 off $99.99 regular price).
• Amazon Echo for $129.99, $50 off the regular price.
• (Sold out) Samsung Curved 55-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV for $649.99. Previous lowest price was $1,047.99.

Other Amazon deals that are available:

• Alexa users can get a $10 discount on their first Amazon order using Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, or Amazon Tap. Talk to your cylinder to find out more.
• You can buy an Amazon Dash button for 99 cents and get $4.99 credit towards your first purchase. These WiFi-connected buttons can be hacked to do other things.
• Free gift if you buy something $50+ from your Amazon baby registry.
• $10 off your first Amazon PrimeNOW order of $20 or more with coupon code 10PRIMENOW. Do this by 7/12 and you’ll get another $10 off coupon on 7/13 that will be valid through 7/31.
• Get 20% off Amazon Warehouse (open box and/or used items) with promo codes WDEARLY20 or WDEARLY.

I’ll try to update if anything interesting comes up. Note that other merchants will be piggy-backing on the publicity bandwagon. For example, Walmart.com is offering free shipping with no minimum purchase size through 7/15. Stack this with limited-time 5% cash back + $10 new user bonus from eBates, or the free 120-pack of water balloons from Wal-Mart offer ($14.43 value) for new TopCashBack members.
