The sales spectacular will feature more than two million deals globally for savvy shoppers to take advantage of in one of the most anticipated discount days of the year.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2021?

In 2021, Amazon Prime Day is actually spread over a 48-hour period across Monday, June 21, and Tuesday, June 22 in the UK.

There will be a wide range of deals for shoppers to choose from, including limited time offers available for a few hours to discounts across the two days.

Some deals have already gone live in the build up to the big savings bonanza, as the promotion campaign ramps up for big name brands and emerging sellers.

Amazon Prime Day discounts are only accessible to those with Amazon Prime memberships so shoppers wanting to take advantage of the deals will have to become a member first.

The good news is it's easy enough to do through the Amazon website where new sign-ups can enjoy 30 days free access to Amazon Prime rewards.

What deals will be on offer?

Amazon has promised deals and discounts on a number of top brands such as Levi’s, Samsung, Fire TVs, LEGO and Fisher-Price, among others.
