3 ways to get a discount on Amazon


Find out how to find offers on the Amazon store and secure the best discounts on your purchases every day.

A amazon is one of the most visited e-commerce by Brazilians. Every day, the retailer offers products with special prices to attract consumers, and there are some ways to get a discount in the store, such as lightning deals and discount coupons.



The Amazon store carries products in approximately 20 categories, including electronics, cell phones, fashion, home and furnishings, and includes items sold and delivered by third parties. Learn how to secure the best prices on the Amazon Shopping website or app.

1. Lightning Deal

The Deals of the Day section offers products with discounts every day. In addition to promoting best-selling items or items based on your history, this section also features flash deals, with special discounts and limited duration.

To check the products under these conditions, go to “Type of offer” in the website or application menu (after the Departments tab) and click on the “Lightning deal” option.

Lightning Deals are offered for a set amount of time or until the discounted order threshold is reached. These products are displayed with an end-of-sale timer and a status bar showing the percentage of purchases or reservations for the offer.

You can only purchase one Lightning Deal item per user. After adding to the cart, you will have a certain amount of time to finalize the order and guarantee the product at a special price.

If the product is on sale at 100% with a discount, you will see a message informing you that all discounts are reserved and you can make the purchase without discount or join the waiting list and hope that a user abandons the order.

2. Discount coupons

Users can get Amazon discount coupons through third-party websites and affiliate programs. Promotional codes must be applied at checkout, within the “Payment method” field, and can normally only be used once.

To insert a discount coupon it is not possible to use the “buy with a click” method, as this option automatically makes the purchase using the payment method saved in the account and does not open the window for reviewing the order.

3. Offers with Amazon Prime

Some offers are offered only to registered users and Amazon Prime subscribers. To check out these promotions, click on the options under the “Prime Deals” tab and get early access to promotional items and free shipping.

Prime early access deals showcase products that will go on sale in the next few hours, and you can track the deal to secure the best price.

Through the Amazon Shopping app, you can find the same discount arrangements as on the website, but there are some extra products with exclusive offers for purchasing through the app.

You can also access the Canaltech offers to check Amazon products with discounts.
