Prime Big Deal Days marks the first event on the holiday sales calendar and is a celebration of Prime membership. Check out 6 tips to get ready to shop great deals.

1. Become an Amazon Prime member
Prime offers the best of shopping, savings, and entertainment in one convenient membership. Customers in Australia who haven’t tried Prime before can sign up to a Prime membership at amazon.com.au/prime with Amazon’s 30-day free trial, and then pay A$9.99 per month, or A$79 for an annual membership.

2. Shop Smart with the App
Browse, search and shop millions of items from your fingertips, track orders real-time, and even get alerts when saved items go on sale by using the Amazon app.

3. Create an Amazon Wishlist
Create an Amazon Wishlist to help you map out what you need. You can also turn on deal notifications to be notified if a product from your Wishlist goes on deal.

4. Stay Organised with Alexa
Alexa can help you create and manage a shopping list, especially for Prime Big Deal Days. Get started by saying: "Alexa, start a Prime Big Deal Days list." Want to hear some of the deals available? Just say: "Alexa, what are my deals?" Know what you want? Ask Alexa to add it to your cart.

5. Track your deliveries and shop smarter with Alexa+
Got your eye on a new blender? A robot vacuum? The perfect barbecue set? Shop smarter with Alexa. Just ask Alexa to let you know when your dream item goes on sale, or drops below your ideal price, and you'll get a notification when it does. You can even tell Alexa to buy it, all without you lifting a finger. Try saying: "Alexa, let me know when Ninja Creami goes on sale." Alexa can track your deliveries so you never miss a package—just say: "Alexa, where's my stuff?"

6. Shop faster with Amazon Lens
Using Amazon Lens, you can upload an image, take a photo, or scan a barcode to discover exact matches and similar items in the Amazon app - perfect for checking if an item you're after is on deal.
