What is Prime Day?

Prime Day started in 2005 as a way for Amazon to celebrate it's 20th anniversary. The sale was such a huge success that it has become a yearly event. These deals are exclusive for Prime subscribers but you can take advantage of the free trial, if you are uncertain that you want to commit.
