Maximize Your Savings: Expert Tips for Amazon Prime Day 2026 Deals
Amazon's Prime Day 2026 runs June 23–27. Use price trackers like CamelCamelCamel, Keepa, and Slickdeals, plus Alexa and app alerts, to catch the best deals. Also check competitors Walmart, Target, and Best Buy.
Amazon Prime Day is one of the biggest shopping events of the year, and the four-day sale for 2026 begins June 23 at 3:01 AM ET and ends at the same time on June 27. Prime members can access some of the best prices on Amazon devices as well as products from Sony, Sonos, Bose, Anker, Apple, and other brands.
To find the best deals, use price-tracking tools. CamelCamelCamel tracks prices on Amazon and sends email alerts when a product hits your desired price. Its browser extension, The Camelizer, shows pricing trends and lets you set a target price without leaving Amazon. You can also import your Amazon wishlist. For Walmart, the developers offer Camelmart, which provides similar tracking and alerts.
Slickdeals aggregates deals from around the web, discovered by its team and community. You can set keyword alerts for specific products or retailers and receive notifications when deals meet your criteria, such as popularity or rating. Keepa is another tool that tracks Amazon prices and provides price history charts. It doesn't require an account if you install the extension, and you can receive alerts via email, push, or RSS.
Amazon's "Alexa for Shopping" tool displays price history for most products and allows you to set a price alert. Access it by clicking "Price history" on a product page or via the main nav bar. The widget shows up to a year of price history and offers to automatically buy the product when it drops to your set price.
Prime members with a fourth-gen or newer Echo can request deal notifications up to 24 hours in advance. In the Alexa app, go to More > Settings > Notifications > Amazon Shopping and enable Deal Recommendations. You can also sign up for deal alerts in the Amazon Shopping app by navigating to the Prime Day event page and tapping to create alerts for specific deals. Alternatively, open app Settings > Notifications > Deals and Recommendations and toggle Savings and/or Recommendations.
Don't limit yourself to Amazon. Other retailers often match or beat Amazon's prices. Walmart will host a Walmart Deals event June 22–28, Target will run Target Circle Deal Days during Prime Day, and Best Buy will have its Tech Fest sale June 22–29.
