Amazon Prime Day 2022: 20% Off Gift Cards, Amazon Gift Card Promo, Apple, Bose, 23andMe, Free Grubhub+, Pay w/ Points Promos

Prime Day is live! Amazon Prime Day 2022 is now live: July 12th and 13th (Tuesday and Wednesday). Here are some of the better deals and other low-hanging fruit (and thus offset a chunk of that membership fee). Otherwise, I check on the things I need to buy anyway – from laundry detergent to paper towels, even Amazon-branded toilet paper is on sale.

As the name suggests, most deals require a Prime membership. New members can sign up for a 30-day free trial. If you’ve already done the trial, you can simply buy a month of Prime for $14.99 ($6.99 with EBT or Medicaid card).
