Amazon shoppers can try this simple money-saving hack to access deals on Prime Day

Amazon's Prime Day sales are officially less than a week away, with the brilliant shopping bonanza set to take place across next Tuesday and Wednesday.

And with hundreds of deals on highly-sought after tech including phones, tablets, and PCs, you'll struggle to find lower places anywhere else.

The Jeff Bezos-founded marketplace has already confirmed that customers can save over 40% on own-brand devices like Echo smart speakers, Fire TV Sticks and Kindles - but the only way of accessing the savvy savings is by being a Prime member. This obviously carries a £8.99 monthly subscription fee, which not everyone can afford during the cost of living crisis.

But what if we told you that there was a way of getting Prime, completely free of charge for a month? And there's no better time to make the most of it than when the Prime Day sales land.

The Express reports that Amazon still offers first-time users a month of the premium service at no cost, in a lengthy free trial period. And that means of course, that you could sign up today, make the most of the sales, enjoy all of the other Prime benefits and cancel before the trial is up - without paying a penny.

You'll just have to make sure you hit that unsubscribe button before the month comes to an end, and your subscription is automatically refreshed. As well as the huge savings to be had, Prime also offers speedy same-day delivery on certain products, as well as access to the Prime Video and Music catalogues.

You can also make the most of free storage through the Amazon Photos app - with members receiving £15 in credit when they download it and upload their first snap.

There's even free storage for all of your files and photos and Prime members will receive £15 Amazon.co.uk credit when they download the Amazon Photos app and upload their first photo.

UK Country Manager for Amazon, John Boumphrey, said: "The countdown for Prime Day starts now, and we have an incredible selection of deals to come. We work really hard to deliver great products at the best prices for customers during Prime Day and throughout the year, from the biggest brands to the 100,000 small British businesses that are available on Amazon.

"There is a lot to be excited about and a lot of value to find, with a few fun surprises and experiences to help you feel like a big deal along the way."
