Amazon will celebrate its 20th birthday with a one-day shopping event that will rival Black Friday. Called ‘Prime Day’, the exclusive event will take place on July 15th and will boast more deals than Black Friday.

"Members tell us every day how much they love Prime and we will keep making it better,” said Greg Greeley, Vice President Amazon Prime. “If you’re not already a Prime member, you’ll want to join so you don’t miss out on one of the biggest deals extravaganzas in the world.”
 
Starting at midnight, Amazon Prime users in the US, UK, Spain, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada and Austria will have access to thousands of deals that will be updated every ten minutes. Users can shop several categories such as electronics, toys, movies, clothing, patio, garden, sports and outdoor items on any device including smartphones and tablets.

New Prime members will have access to the same deals as well. To qualify for participation, new users must sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime on the Amazon Prime day website.
