Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, shares insider tips for getting the most out of Amazon’s Big Deal Days on 7th to 8th October.

Amazon’s Prime sales are back with Big Deal Days, offering discounts across a vast range of products. However, as shopping events like this often lead to impulse buying, Tom Church, Co-Founder of LatestDeals.co.uk, is here to help UK consumers avoid unnecessary purchases and make genuine savings. According to him, following these six expert tips could save you “up to £200”.

Tom said, “Amazon Prime’s big deal days has offers on top brands like LEGO, Sony, Bosch, Ninja and more. It’s become as big as Black Friday and often has better deals. It’s a great time to get Christmas presents early which helps spread the cost. But, you want to be careful. Make sure it’s a real deal and avoid scammers that loiter around the event.”

1) How to Get The Deals Even If Not With Prime

If you’re not already an Amazon Prime member, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial. It unlocks access to Prime-exclusive deals and free next-day delivery, saving up to £8.99 on shipping costs. You can also make the most of Prime Video for 30 days, and enjoy seasonal films including The Lost Boys and Jaws. You can cancel at any time, so you can take advantage of all the Prime Big Deal Days for free.

2) Spot Fake Deals with Price History Tools

Before you fall for a “too good to be true” deal, use price tracking tools like Keepa. Download the extension and on every product page you’ll see a price history graph, so you can check if the current deal is a real bargain. Always check the price history to avoid misleading ‘discounts’. You should also still compare prices with other retailers such as with Idealo.

3) Extra 30% Off with Amazon Resale

Shoppers can save up to 50% by checking out Amazon Resale - formerly named Amazon Warehouse - plus get an extra 30% off on top. These are returned or open-box items sold at a discount but fully tested and covered by Amazon’s guarantee. It’s the perfect place to find gadgets, kitchenware, and more at a fraction of the usual price. Prime Day has come early to Amazon resale and you can currently get an extra 30% off selected items.

4) Leverage Amazon Business for Ex-VAT Deals

If you’re self-employed or frequently buy in bulk, consider using Amazon Business. This section of Amazon offers ex-VAT pricing and bulk discounts on many products. From office supplies to electronics, there are hidden savings for those eligible.

5) Double The Discount with Amazon Deal Stacks

The savvy shopper knows how to combine deals. Amazon Lightning Deals often have additional vouchers that can be applied, creating a ‘deal stack.’ I recently scored a Bluetooth speaker for £5 after combining a time-limited deal with a voucher. If you’re not sure how to find them, just go to LatestDeals.co.uk and search for ‘Deal Stack’. Deal hunters post new ones on the site everyday.

6) Beware of Delivery Scams

Unfortunately, shopping events like Prime Big Deal Days attract scammers. Be wary of delivery text messages asking for payment, phishing emails and too-good-to-be-true offers that link to fake Amazon websites. Stick to the official Amazon website or app, and avoid clicking on suspicious links. Watch out for poor grammar or pixelated images, both red flags of phishing attempts. Never give your bank details, nor pay extra for delivery charges.

Tom finished by adding, “Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is a great opportunity to snap up bargains, particularly in the run up to the most expensive time of the year. If you’re hoping for a price drop on a particular item you can set up a deal alert through the Latest Deals app. When the price on the item drops, you’ll get an instant notification. This saves you scrolling through hundreds of irrelevant deals, and you won’t be tempted to buy something you don’t need”.
