What are Amazon Prime Big Deal Days invite-only deals?
If you’ve ever shopped an Amazon Prime Day event before (and if you haven’t, you’ve been missing out) you’ll already know about Lightning Deals. These are limited time deals that go live at specific times throughout the event, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Invite-only deals take things to the next level, by requiring you to register for the chance to get in on some of the hottest deals. If you’re one of the lucky ones to be chosen, you’ll get to make your purchase and score yourself a bargain, although you’ll only be able to purchase one item. And if you’re not lucky, well there’s always another Prime Day event to look forward to.
