Tips from Uswitch.com’s tech and deals expert Catherine Hiley

1. Plan ahead

Amazon Prime Day is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of big discounts on Amazon’s flagship technology, including its streaming sticks, Echo and Kindle devices. If you’ve been looking to get your hands on this tech, now could be your chance.

2. Know your budget

Set yourself a spending limit. Impulse-buying without strict spending rules will likely result in purchasing items you don’t need, ending up with a pile of items you don’t want.

3. Time to subscribe to Amazon Prime​

In the run-up to Amazon Prime Day 2, be on the lookout for discounts on Amazon Prime memberships. Deals are often launched in the run-up to get people subscribed before the event starts.

4. Know your rights

The Consumer Rights Act says goods should be of satisfactory quality, fit to do the job intended, and last a reasonable length of time. This right is limited to 30 days from the date you buy your product. If you’re unhappy with the item, it’s worth knowing what the return policy is in advance.

5. Do your research

The bottom line is to always check the reviews, as it’s easy to be swayed by clever advertising. If you’re planning to purchase more expensive items, such as smartphones or laptops, look for deals on comparison sites.

Amazon Alexa

If you ask an Alexa-enabled device, such as an Echo or Echo Dot, “Alexa, what are your deals?”, you get access to Prime Day deals hours earlier as well as access to exclusive bargains.

To order something, say, “Alexa, what are your deals” followed by “Alexa, add [the item] to my cart. ” Alexa will confirm this, but if you want, you can set up a 4-digit voice shopping pin with the Alexa app to prevent unintended purchases.

Watch out for Lightning deals

Lightning Deals are limited in duration and sometimes end in minutes. To stay on top of everything, use Amazon’s app, where you can view many deals 24 hours in advance and sign up for alerts.
