During the event of July 15 and 16, you can use the app to track your favorites while you shop and keep an eye on Lightning Deals available for preview. Lightning offers are available daily on Amazon, but are especially abundant on the first day. They differ from standard offers in that they are designed to last only for a certain period of time (usually a few hours) or until the stock runs out, whichever comes first. Once you claim a transaction, you have a limited time to pull the trigger and finalize the purchase before your application expires. Enable push notifications in the Amazon app to increase your chances of getting a Lightning Deal on an item you are watching before it is out of stock.

Once you tap the three horizontal lines in the upper left corner of the application, you access the main menu of your account. From there, you can access Settings, then Notifications to make sure you receive alerts if any of your "monitored and pending" items eventually become Lightning Deals. You can also accept notifications on items recommended by Amazon.

This year we are already seeing similar promotions to those of last year, but to take advantage of it, you need to be ready to try the camera features in the app. Premium members who use the "camera search", "see in the room" and "scan barcode" features can receive 20% discount on certain items for a few extra days – although the promotion is strangely limited in time, available only to application users between Everyday, until July 14, from 6 pm to noon, Pacific time. This year, a promotion is also being offered to primary users who are installing the Amazon Assistant browser extension, which allows them to save $ 10 on an eligible order of $ 50 or more (the promotion does not go unnoticed). unfortunately applies to the new Amazon Assistant users. Even if you can not take advantage of the promotion, the browser extension also allows you to get alerts in your browser for the items you have monitored on the app, which is handy if you switch between your phone and your computer.

Do you absolutely need the Amazon app? No of course not. But this can be a real help to make sure you get the best deals on the First Day.
