If you’re keen to stay ahead of the pack on Cyber Monday, then consider signing up for an Amazon Prime subscription, if you haven’t already done so: some of the bargains you’ll come across are exclusive to Prime members, or exclusive to Prime members for a certain amount of time.
We can’t say for sure exactly what Amazon is going to do this year, but you can bet that if you sign up for Amazon Prime before Cyber Monday then you’re likely to be at an advantage – the company is always looking to boost its subscriber numbers in whatever way it can, so look out for any incentives. You might get extra discounts on existing savings, or even deals that are exclusive to Prime members.
Right now the price of an Amazon Prime subscription is £79 (or $99) a year, or a little more if you pay month to month. You get a ton of benefits besides being at the head of the queue when it comes to Cyber Monday offers: Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Prime Music, cloud storage space for your photos and of course a ticket to the Amazon Prime deals day every summer.
Amazon’s Lightning Deals are special, time-limited offers that pop up on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, giving you the opportunity to grab a bargain in double-quick time. Stock is usually low and time is usually short, so if you don’t jump in when you’ve got the chance, you run the risk of losing out completely.
As they’re limited by time and stock, you often see some hefty discounts on offer with these Lightning Deals, so they’re a great option for the savvy Cyber Monday 2017 shopper. Of course, we don’t recommend jumping into anything you’re not sure about, but seize the opportunity if you are.
A Lightning Deal is „a promotion in which a limited number of discounts are offered on an item for a short period of time“ according to Amazon, and they can be found on the Today’s Deals page. If you’re a Prime member then you get access even earlier too.
With Cyber Monday 2017 rapidly approaching, we thought we’d run a recap on some of the best deals we saw at Amazon during the Cyber Monday 2016 event.
More recently, Amazon has been knocking £129.78 (or 7 percent) off the price of a 13-Inch Macbook Pro with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, so you end up paying £1,619.22 for the laptop.
Another deal that caught our eye recently was the £58.33 Amazon knocked off the Black+Decker 300 W Multi-Oscillating Tool, making it £46.98 – that’s a hefty saving of around 55 percent.
Another great Amazon deal we’ve clocked lately is the £6 or more the retailer has knocked off its Salter digital weighing scales, now as low as £13.95.
Another great deal we’ve spotted on Amazon lately is an It UK 10.1-inch Android tablet, down to just £79.99 from an original price of £325, which means you’re saving more than £245.

Whatever day of the year you’re shopping on, it’s one of the best places to do your tech shopping.
