In addition to all of the above, Amazon Prime Day 2021 brings with it additional exclusive benefits for Prime members.  Let’s have a look at what is on offer this year on Amazon Prime Day:

3 Months of Audible for 99p

This is a fantastic deal, with Audible UK announcing that the Prime Day 2021 offer will be 3 months of Audible for only 99p!.  This offer is exclusively available to Amazon Prime customers, and the offer expires on the 22nd June 2021 so you will need to get in fast if you want to take advantage.  Using one of the 5G Rugged Smartphones you could listen to books for as long as you like: Please note this offer is not available for existing Audible customers, it is for new customers.  

Discounts on Amazon Fashion

Prime customers will also have access to discounts on fashion brands.  From May 31st until June 30th Prime customers will be able to make use of the code EXTRA20 to get 20% off some fashion brands.  

Spend £10 and get £10

From Monday 7th June 2021 until Sunday 20th June, Amazon will make available a £10 credit to be used on Amazon Prime Day to all members who spend a minimum of £10 on items that have been sold by small UK businesses.   This includes products from Amazon Handmade and Amazon Launchpad.  

This is a great deal as it not only encourages Prime members to shop locally and with small businesses, but it also means Prime members get £10 credit to spend with Amazon on Prime Day!  All you have to do is make sure you redeem your £10 credit on the Amazon Prime Days, and you can use it on any products during the period 21-22nd June.  If the product you want is already discounted, using your voucher will lower the price even further.   For example, if you have your eye on a new electric toothbrush you can save it now in your Amazon basket and then use your £10 credit to purchase it on Amazon Prime Day. 

Small Business

Why is Amazon focusing on small and medium-sized businesses this year? Amazon is committed to supporting small businesses and has committed to spending $100 million this year on promotional activities to encourage Amazon customers to buy from small businesses that sell on Amazon.  Prime Day will feature many deals from small businesses so customers will have a great variety of choice when it comes to making purchases.

As more small businesses start working collaboratively with Amazon and selling their products online, Amazon is keen to support their efforts. Some of the products available from small businesses will include those selling winerugs, and toys such as the Tesoky Star Night Light Projector:

Kindle Unlimited

Amazon Prime members will be able to enjoy three months of Kindle Unlimited at no additional charge as long as they subscribe to Kindle Unlimited between 2nd June and 22nd June 2021.  This promotion is for new subscribers to the service.  The Kindle Unlimited service offers access to over 1 million book titles, audiobooks, selected magazines, and comics.  A good kindle is all you need to take advantage of this offer.
