How Amazon Prime Day 2019 works

Now that we know when it starts and when it ends, it is necessary to understand how Amazon Prime Day 2019 works. The discounted products are divided into three categories: Deals of the Day, Lightning Deals, and WOW Deals (introduced for the first time this year).

The Deals of the Day last for 24 hours and involve most of the products on offer during Amazon Prime Day 2019. Usually the discount is quite limited and the stocks are very large.

The Lightning Deals, as you can guess from the name, have a shorter duration (from a few minutes to a few hours) and the discount is much higher. The available stocks, however, are limited and therefore you have to be quick in buying the product.

Wow Offers were introduced this year and refer to very few products put on sale for a very limited time and with very limited stocks. The price is the best you can find online.
