Amazon Prime Members – mark your calendars!

On Tuesday, July 11th, Amazon will be hosting Prime Day and will be featuring hundreds of thousands of deals offered exclusively for Prime members with new deals as often as every 5 minutes throughout the day!

GET READY for this big day with these tips!

ONE. Make of list of upcoming gifts that you need to purchase – think Birthdays, Anniversaries.. and yes, even Christmas! This will prepare you and remind you of items you need to get for the year to stow away in the gift closet. In addition, create a list of items that you’d like to stock up on for around the house… as it’s likely lots of these items will be on sale at big discounts. If you’re interested, you can create shopping lists and wish lists right on Amazon here.

TWO. Get your foot in the door 1 day early! This year, Prime members will enjoy 30 hours of shopping starting early at 6PM PST/9PM EST on Monday, July 10th! This is a GREAT perk for all you night owls!

THREE. Make sure you are visiting Hip2Save.com regularly and if you just want to view Amazon deals, click on the Amazon tab HERE! The entire Hip2Save team is super excited to post about all the BEST deals as quickly as our fingers can get those deals typed up and posted!

FOUR. Choose free no-rush shipping and get a $5 credit for Prime Pantry OR a $1 credit for eBooks & more – may vary by user. This is an easy way to earn $5 to expand your spending limit on this big day! You can click here to find out if you have any no rush credits waiting to be used!

FIVE. Stream a video for the first time! To get started, just sign into Amazon Video on any eligible device (Fire TV, Fire TV stick, streaming media players, smart TVs, Blu-ray players, TIVO, and game consoles like Xbox or Playstation are all eligible), stream a movie or show included with Prime, and score a $10 Amazon.com credit applied directly to your account within 3-4 business days!

    Be sure if you have echo or echo dot to check with Alexa on prime day for her deals she has her own deals some can be sweet deals on electronics or household supply’s!

  2. AP

    Also, I was on amazon a few minutes ago, and saw that you can get a $10 credit for your first Alexa deals order.

  3. Luna

    Thanks will be on lookout for baby deals. Excited!

    • Nicole

      I got a fantastic deal last year on a booster seat! And other baby things.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome Luna! πŸ™‚

  4. Jenn

    Any idea if laptops will be on sale? My daughter needs one for college.

  5. Katie

    I found some of the prices weren’t great deals. I use camelcamelcamel to check pricing history before purchasing.

    • Mom

      Thanks for your tip!! I have never heard of camelcamelcamel before.

      • Missy Alford

        I have not either, anyone else used it before?

        • Christine

          Yes, I use camelcamelcamel a lot to make sure I’m getting the best price on Amazon. They even have a feature where you can get an alert when the price goes down, but I have to say it’s pretty slow. If I’m waiting for the price to go down on an item, I add it to my cart and then click “Save for later” and check it often myself. I generally have 10-15 items in “Save for later” and when I go to my cart Amazon will tell me which prices have changed.

        • Lindsey

          Best site ever! I don’t purchase on Amazon without checking camel first.

    • SJ

      Is this an app or a website?

    Looks like you can sign in to your account and add the sweet n cheesy popcorn to your cart and use the code “popcorn5” for $1 off. Then use Alexa to order it. Pay $1.49 and get a $10 credit.

    • AP

      Awesome, thanks! I was at work when I posted above about the $10 credit, and thanks to you, when I get got home I immediately knew what to buy! I got the popcorn for $1.49. Now we’ll just see if the credit shows up! I think it said it can take up to three days.

      • Lizzie

        I haven’t gotten my credit yet either. Amazon is usually pretty good with customer service so I’m not as worried as I would be with other places! Glad I could help πŸ™‚

      • AP

        I got my credit! πŸ™‚

    • C

      Thank you so much πŸ™‚

      • Lizzie

        You’re welcome πŸ™‚

    • Rebecca

      I see the popcorn for $4.99, coupon will take off a dollar… what am I missing?

      • Rebecca

        Ok never mind, I saw it on banner, thanks so much! I would miss so many things if people didn’t point them out lol.

        • Lizzie

          Haha! Glad you got it πŸ™‚

    • jamie

      I can’t get this coupon to apply. Any suggestions?

      • Lizzie

        The coupon applied in the cart but when Alexa told me it was still going to be $2 something I just tried it anyway and then checked my order and the coupon was applied. Not promising it will work but it did for me!

  7. Emily

    Does anyone remember if amazon has book deals on prime day? Like the $10 off $25 they offer around thanksgiving?

    • Rebecca

      Ooh that would be nice! I don’t know but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for us!

  8. Iuliia007

    Will be looking for a bicycle for my hubby! Hope I can find a great deal on one!

  9. Claudia

    Anyone know if the dash will qualify for the Alexa ordering?
