Drumroll: The best Prime Day deals
Basically all of Core 10’s activewear
- Discount: 30% off
- Type of deal: Spotlight Deal
- Deal start and end time: 6/20/21–6/20/21 (24 hours only)
Amazon’s activewear brand, Core 10, will have a zillion items on sale on the 20th. We’re most excited about the Women’s Nearly Naked Full-Length Yoga Legging (Lululemon Align Legging dupe??) and the Women’s Midweight Onstride High Waist Workout Bikershort. But there are a TON of activewear basics to choose from, so this deal is def working checking out.
Amazon Halo
- Discount: 30% off
- Type of deal: Spotlight Deal
- Deal start and end time: 6/20/21–6/22/21
Amazon’s fitness tracker gives you insight to basic health stats like steps, heart rate, sleep time, and sleep tracking. With a membership (free for the first 6 months, then less than $5 per month!), you also get access to body composition analysis and intensity-based activity tracking. And it’s also supposed to have high tech voice analysis to give you insight into how you sound to other people (Cool or creepy? Your call). A battery charge lasts 2 to 7 days based on if you have voice analysis enabled.
The best part is that a membership gives you access to a library of programs from popular brands like Lifesum, Sweat, Headspace, and Weight Watchers. But remember that this thing doesn’t have a screen like an Apple Watch — it’s def got more of the original Fitbit vibe.
Amazon Echo Show 5 and the new Amazon Echo Dot

- Type of deal: Spotlight Deal
- Deal start and end time: 6/20/21–6/22/21

The Dot is a compact version of Alexa designed to extend Alexa throughout your home bc omnipresence is key to a smart home. Both speakers can connect to your smart home devices so you can control ’em without ever lifting a finger.

- Discount: 40% off
- Type of deal: Spotlight Deal
- Deal start and end time: 6/20/21–6/22/21
The Ring Alarm system keeps your house on lock… literally. Both kits come with everything you need to get your home security system started, including a “base station,” a keypad to arm and disarm the system, a contact sensor for windows and doors, a motion detector, and an extender to keep everything connected.
The only difference between the two kits is that the 8-piece kit comes with three extra contact sensors to cover more doors and windows to make sure you’re not getting any uninvited visitors.
These kits don’t come with cameras, but you can always add one on later once you get started with these security basics.
Garmin fenix 6S Pro
- Discount: 29% off
- Type of deal: Spotlight Deal
- Deal start and end time: 6/21/21–6/22/21
Reviewers go wild for the fenix 6S Pro. It has the look of a traditional watch, but has all the amazing features you look for in a smart watch: heart rate and activity tracking, performance metrics, pacing technology to help you pace your runs, and topographical maps — including maps of over 2,000 ski resorts all over the world.
Its battery also somehow lasts up to 34 days depending on what mode you use (we see you Apple Watch users… daily charging could be a thing of the past).
Take advantage of this deal because this thing ain’t cheap.

How to shop Prime Day
Want some pro tips on getting the most out of Prime Day? Here’s whatcha need to know:
Know the different types of deals
There are four different kinds of deals you might come across while shopping. Keeping an eye on the deal type will help you know if you need to buy right away or if you have time to spare:
- Spotlight Deal. On non-Prime Days, these are Amazon’s “Deals of the Days” (DOTDs). They’re 24 and 48 hour-long deals on popular products on Amazon. Amazon will usually showcase these on the home page of its site.
- Lightning Deal. These deals run for less than 24 hours and are first come, first served. There’s only a limited amount of each product, so you’ll need to get ’em while they’re hot.
- Can’t Miss, Jaw-Dropping Deal. TBH, there’s not a lot of these. But these are basically the same thing as a Lightning Deal except on top tier brands and categories.
- Best Deal. These are longer running discounts (more than 48 hours) and promotions on various products.
Watch deals and get notifications
Though Prime Day has an official start date of the 21st, not every single deal goes live at that time. To keep track of deals you’re interested in, you can turn on notifications in the Amazon app to get alerted when certain deals start. This is a major key 🔑 for catching those limited-time deals we mentioned. Learn how to turn them on here.
Take advantage of a $10 credit for supporting small businesses
Prime members that spend at least $10 with a small business from 6/7 to 6/20 can claim a $10 credit to use on Prime Day. That means even moooore savings (woot!) while supporting the businesses that need it most.
Get cash back if you use your Amazon Prime credit card
Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Card and Amazon Prime Store Card users already get 5% back when shopping on Amazon — but during Prime Day, you get an extra 1% back. That’s a whopping 6% reward for shopping Prime Day.
If you don’t already use an Amazon credit card, you can actually apply for one before Prime Day and potentially get a decision in time to add it to your account to shop deals. You’ll even get a $50 Amazon gift card added to your account if you’re approved for the Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Card and a $100 Amazon gift card if you’re approved for the Amazon Prime Store Card.
Ask Alexa what’s up
If you have an Alexa, she can apparently get you early access to deals by saying, “Alexa, what are my deals?”
It’s unclear exactly what deals she’ll offer you or if they’ll be personalized based on your browsing or purchase history — but hey, it’s always worth asking.
FAQ
When is Prime Day?
Officially, Amazon Prime Day starts on June 21 and runs through June 22. BUT deals on products started as early as the 13th and can run all the way until July 1 (though the vast majority of deals will start June 20–22).
What kind of deals can I expect?
There are deals on basically everything. From smart home devices, cookware, mattresses, and electronics to activewear, shoes, watches, and fitness gear (and so. much. more.). You’ll find discounts from anywhere between 20 and 90 percent off. 😱
Do I need to be a Prime member to shop Prime Day deals?
Yes. But if you’re not a current member, have no fear. Amazon obviously wants as many people shopping Prime Day as possible, so you can start a 30-day free trial to shop the deals. You’ll just need to remember to cancel it before it charges you the actual membership fee.
If you already used your free trial, it might be worth signing up for a membership (or stealing your parents’ login info… but you didn’t hear that from us 🤐).
Do any other stores have deals on Prime Day?
Prime Day is technically an Amazon event, but competing stores like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy have already announced or started similar sales for the same time frame. You can also shop these sales without a membership, so nonmembers should def check them out.
