They’re a year-round promotion from Amazon, which works just as we’ve described so far. However, Amazon coined the term “lightning” for these discounts. While the lightning promotions are generally significant, the holidays bring the best deals (or events such as Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days). Offers include exclusive deals, prescription savings, and free delivery. However, the quantity is always limited – buy before the item sells out, as that’s when the deal ends. Attention: As the discounts tend to be high, Amazon restricts shoppers to buying only one item with an applicable flash discount. Also, the discounted item is removed from your cart if you don’t complete the purchase within 15 minutes! To check out Amazon’s daily deals, access the “Today’s Deals” option in the menu at the top of Amazon.com. From the left-side menu, select lightning discounts. If you’re on the mobile app: Tap the three dots menu at the screen’s bottom. Select “Deals & Savings.” Select “Today’s Deals.” Select “Lightning deal.”
