Bargain hunters beware. Amazon has just confirmed that Prime Day will return next month with the online store promising huge deals across a swathe of products. Amazon says it will be slashing prices on its own-brand devices - such as Fire TV Sticks and Echo speakers - along with cutting costs on Samsung, Sony, Bose and Shark products to name a few. The big event starts on July 16 and will run for 48 hours giving you plenty of time to grab a discount.

The only issue is, you'll need to be a Prime member which costs £8.99 per month. Luckily, there is a very simple way to access the upcoming offers for free with Amazon dishing out a month of Prime to most users when they sign up.

That means you can join today, enjoy the Prime Day sales and then cancel before you face any charges.

"We're giving you 30 days of Prime for £8.99 FREE. Unlimited delivery, award-winning TV shows, exclusive deals, and more," Amazon explained on its sign-up page.

Of course, if you forget to tap the cancel button you will start paying the monthly subscription fee so make sure you pop a note in your diary or online calendar to tap that unsubscribe button before the 30 days are up.

It is worth joining Prime before the big say itself with Amazon promising it will be dishing out plenty of of early deals in the run up to the main event.

“The countdown to the 10th Prime Day in the UK starts now, and we have a huge selection of deals to come,” said John Boumphrey, UK Country Manager of Amazon.

“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 sell on Amazon. With even faster deliveries and so many shopping, saving and entertainment benefits available, there has never been a better time to be a Prime member. Roll on Prime Day!"

If you do sign up for Prime it's not just the Prime Day deals you'll receive. This service also offers unlimited One-Day Delivery and Same-Day delivery for eligible orders above £20. There are exclusive Lightning Deals throughout the year plus bonus extras such as unlimited storage for photos and Prime Video access.
