Amazon’s Black Friday sale in 2022 is running as usual. Although Amazon just wrapped up its second prime day event in October, the importance of Black Friday sales cannot be ignored.
Don’t know how to participate in the Black Friday sale or don’t know what and when the sale is? This article will solve all your confusion about Black Friday promotions.
*Offers direct money-saving tips
1. Are Amazon Black Friday deals better than Prime Day?
In my experience shopping, Amazon’s Black Friday sale and Prime Day are about the same price. But in the Black Friday promotions, Amazon will focus more on computers, mobile phones, home appliances, and other expensive products to further reduce the price. The price will be lower than the prime membership day.

2. When will the 2022 Amazon Black Friday sale start and end?
According to Amazon, the 2022 Amazon Black Friday sale will go live on November 24th (Thanksgiving) at 12:01 PST and will last until November 25th. A total of 2 days of promotions will be held.
This is followed by a Cyber Monday event on November 28.
3. Make a budget plan
Don’t buy something just because it’s on sale, or you’ll get caught up in a buying frenzy. Please prepare your shopping needs and budget in advance, make a list of the products you need and add them to the shopping cart to find that one. At the beginning of Black Friday, only focus on whether the price of the listed products is reduced.
4. Prime members get the first 30 minutes of Lightning Deals
If you are a prime member, you can get the Lightning Deal 30 minutes in advance. It is important to know that the time for the end of the Lightning Deal is very short. Prime membership is too expensive? Free prime membership trial for one month. You can participate in Lightning Deals by using a free prime membership. Cancel your subscription after the Black Friday sale ends.
5. Amazon Direct Money Saving Tips
- Price Detection Browser Application Plugin: honey/camelcamelcamel/priceblink
Use price detection to view item history. Although the Amazon link shows the sale price, it doesn’t necessarily mean the item is at the lowest price within 30 days. If you have always maintained the promotional price of the product, you can consider not buying it for now, and give priority to the products with strong promotion.
- Cashback APP:Fetch Rewards
Please keep your Amazon receipt, take a photo, and upload it to Fetch Rewards for rebates. The amount of cashback depends on the type of item you purchased, but you only need to upload the receipt in time.
You can choose to pay for discounted Amazon gift cards. You can buy Amazon gift cards at a discount of 10% or more. Gift cards are the most immediate way to save money.
6. Amazon’s returns period extended
To ensure a better consumer experience, Amazon has extended the return period starting October 1 (though this is bad news for Amazon sellers). Under normal circumstances, Amazon’s return period is 30 days, but after extending the return period, you can return the goods until January 31, 2023, at the latest. Orders are valid from October 1st to December 31st.
7. FBA suspends deliveries for Thanksgiving
FBA follows the USPS holiday regulations, that is, FBA will stop deliveries during the Thanksgiving holiday. You can continue to shop on Amazon on Thanksgiving Day, but you won’t get delivery. If you need to buy food for Thanksgiving, you will need to buy it in advance for delivery.
8. Join the waitlist
My suggestion is to make a good budget and shopping needs a week in advance to avoid unnecessary waste. You can add items to your cart ahead of time and wait for the price to drop. If it is sold out during the Lightning Deal, you can join the waitlist for the sold-out item to remind you to buy it after restocking.
9. Focus on Amazon Coupon
Amazon coupons provide coupons for specific products every day and automatically claim coupons by clicking “Clip coupons” and using them directly at checkout. You just need to choose the items you want to buy. If you frequently need to shop on Amazon, you may wish to keep this bookmark for easy shopping. Current coupons include 30% off clothing and up to 40% off home and kitchen.
10.Use Amazon prime credit card
Although many people have opened a lot of credit cards, if you are a big fan of Amazon, it is recommended that you open an Amazon prime credit card. It will probably save you $100-400 per year. This is one of the most straightforward ways to save money.
The main benefits of the Amazon prime credit card are:
- No annual fee: Amazon Prime members do not need to pay an annual fee
- 5% Cash Back: Both Amazon and Whole Foods Support
- 2% cash back: restaurants, gas stations, and pharmacies supported
- No minimum reward balance is required to redeem
11.Use an Amazon Gift Card
A gift card is a payment method that many people choose at present. Orders can be settled quickly after the gift card is redeemed in the account. At the same time, there are different ways to buy gift cards for free or at a low price, which is equivalent to a discount.
Offers three ways to get low-cost gift cards:
Buy directly on Amazon.
$50 off $10 off your first purchase. You can choose to redeem directly on your account to save time. Secondly, you can choose to buy gift cards in large promotions such as Black Friday and Christmas, and there will be discounts in general.
Amex offer
Amex will often provide discounts in various large shopping malls. Save up to 20% by activating Amex’s cashback offer.
Third-Party Gift Card Platforms
You can choose to go to a third-party gift card platform to buy Amazon gift cards, such as fluz, raise, etc.
Sometimes there will be big discounts for stockpiling, but this requires you to pay attention to promotional information.
