Amazon Prime Day 2016 Nears

Amazon Prime Day is scheduled for Tuesday, July 12, and is promised to be the "Biggest Global Amazon Event Ever." In addition to the deals occurring on July 12, Amazon will also be offering several prime-exclusive deals for the entire week leading up to Prime Day (July 5 - 11).

While the deals last year were a little lackluster (in my opinion), there are many other Prime benefits that make being a member worthwhile.

Prime Benefits Include

• FREE Two-Day Shipping
• FREE Same-Day Delivery (in eligible zip codes)
• Prime Video
• Prime Music
• Prime Photos
• Prime Pantry
• Amazon Elements
• Amazon Dash for Prime
• Prime Early Access to Lightning Deals
• Kindle Owners' Lending Library
• Kindle First
• Video Add-On Subscriptions
• Deals and Discounts, Compliments of Amazon Family
• Prime Exclusive Savings in Video Games
• Prime Now
• Restaurant Delivery
• Membership Sharing

Of all the benefits, I enjoy free two-day shipping and Prime Video most. FYI: The last season of Downton Abbey is now free on Prime Video. Yay!

And who knows? Amazon might surprise us with some good photography equipment deals this year. We'll just have to wait and see...
