Amazon Prime Day 2022 is a two-day sale where Amazon makes big discounts to electronics, appliances, clothing brands and more. It's called Prime Day because the sales are geared toward Amazon Prime members — the people who pay $139 every year to get access to free two-day shipping, the Prime Video streaming service, and lots more Amazon Prime benefits. Prime Day began back in 2015 as a one-day sale to celebrate Amazon's 20th birthday, but the response was so big that Amazon kept having the event, adding more deals every year, and creating a brand-new Black Friday in July shopping season that hadn't existed before. Although Amazon Black Friday is
a big shopping event around Thanksgiving every year, expect lowest-of-the-year prices on Amazon Alexa devices, computers, TVs and more from Amazon during Prime Day. You can read our top ten favorite deals below. When is Amazon Prime Day 2022?
