The Types of Deals on Amazon
Lightning Deals
Offers available for a limited time or a limited quantity. When they sell out or the timer ends, the price goes back up, so they reward people who are prepared.
Coupons
Some products show a coupon on the product page. You select it, and the discount is applied at checkout.
Prime-exclusive offers
Some deals are only for Prime members. If you are not a member, check whether the deal you want is marked as Prime-only before counting on it.
How to Prepare Before the Event
- Make a wish list: save the products you really want, with a maximum price in mind.
- Turn on deal alerts in the Amazon app for those products.
- Check your account: address, phone and password up to date.
- Get your payment method ready, so checkout takes seconds when a deal appears.
- Set a budget and stick to it.

How to Tell If a Discount Is Real
- Compare the price before and during the event: note the price of your wish-list items in the weeks before Black Friday.
- Look at the final price, not only the percentage shown.
- Check the seller: sold and shipped by Amazon, or by another seller on the marketplace.
- Compare similar models: sometimes an older version looks cheaper but is not the better buy.
- Read recent reviews before buying.
Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
Both bring deals across many categories. Black Friday is the main day of the event, and Cyber Monday, three days later, is another chance to find offers online.
If the product you want is on your list with a good price on Black Friday, there is no need to wait and risk it selling out.
Delivery and Returns Tips
- Check the delivery date on the product page before paying, especially for gifts.
- Read the return policy of each item: it can change by product and seller.
- Keep your order confirmations and track deliveries in your Amazon account.
How to Avoid Scams
- Buy only on the official Amazon website or app.
- Be careful with emails and texts about “problems with your order” or “exclusive prizes” that ask you to click a link.
- Never share your password or payment codes with anyone.
- Be wary of websites that look like Amazon but have a different address.
- Prices that look impossible on unknown sites are usually a trap.
