Amazon Prime day - is it worth it

Options
I have seen that there is a sale day on Amazon on Wednesday. I haven't used Prime before so I read somewhere that I could take out the free trial to benefit.
Not sure if it worth it but i am after a new phone.

    I'm a bit bugged, i took the free trial and luckily i remembered i had taken it the day before it was due to cost me i think £79 and cancelled it just in time :money:

    Now i am in a predicament of whether to buy it at the current price which i think is £59 to see if i can grab any bargains. But part of me thinks the site will get so much traffic and all the good stuff will go before i've had chance to think, plus it is on an wednesday which is annoying for people who work. Saturday would be better, or even sunday!

    Open a new account with another e-mail address and go for the free trial. I wouldn't take the full subscription on the off chance of grabbing a bargain.

    What bugs me is I am a prime member... I share my subscription cost with friends, but I am not the primary account holder so don't qualify for prime day. That's where my new account came in ;-)

    Not only that, but it starts just after midnight :rotfl:I'm sure many Prime members will stay up to grab a bargain "Pack of 6 Kenco Rich Instant Coffee Eco Refill" at 3.20am or a Barbie make up case at 4.20am...

    Rly disappointed with the offerings. I don't think they were even discounted...The prime day is just like a hurricane sweeping money away and leaving garbage everywhere.
    Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them. :p
  • It was rubbish, wasn't it.
    I got a My Little Pony doll to put away for Xmas for £5 but that was it. Hardly worth all the heavy advertising.

    i wanted a new phone and ended up buying one from CPW and am very happy with it. Glad I didn't waste any real time on it.
