Amazon’s gigantic Prime Day 2021 sales event is officially half over, so we’ve had plenty of time to dig through all the phenomenal deals available right now. We pretty much only have two words to describe what we’ve seen so far: Holy. Moly. Everyone at the BGR Deals team was impressed when Amazon announced that there would be more than 2 million deals available to Prime members around the world during this week’s massive sales event. Of course, hearing it is one thing but seeing it unfold is another. Amazon’s site is currently boiling over with hundreds of thousands of incredible Prime Day 2021 deals that span every conceivable product category.

While there is undoubtedly plenty of variety in Amazon’s big sale, nearly all of the best deals on the retailer’s site today have one thing in common: They’re available only to Prime members.

The good news is that if you’re not a Prime subscriber, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial and shop all of Amazon’s Prime Day deals without paying a penny for Prime. Unfortunately, however, that trial offer is only available to people who have never used Prime before, so there are plenty of people out there who can’t get in on the action. Well, we have some spectacular news for Amazon shoppers who aren’t Prime members — in this roundup, we’re going to show you some of the best Prime Day deals you can get without having to subscribe to Amazon Prime!

Head over to pretty much any page on Amazon’s site right now and you’ll see the word “Prime” appear at least a dozen times. It’s Prime Day 2021, so everything is about Prime right now. But not everyone has or wants Amazon’s popular Prime service and that’s perfectly understandable. The good news is that you can still get in on the action during Prime Day with some phenomenal sales that don’t require a Prime subscription to get the discounted prices.

Looking for some examples? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Highlights include FREE MONEY from Amazon (send yourself a $40 eGift card, get a free $10 Amazon credit), deep discounts on pretty much every popular Apple device you can think of including AirPods Pro and the Apple Watch (plus AirPods 2 at the lowest price of 2021!), a new all-time low price on the hot new TP-Link Kasa smart plugs that everyone loves so much, the best Instant Pot deals of the year with prices starting at just $49.99, the crazy wireless camera that lets your smartphone see anywhere for an all-time low price of $28.85, Amazon’s Fire TV Stick Lite for a new all-time low price of $17.99 and the Fire TV Stick 4K for an all-time low of $24.99 instead of $50, the hot new Ring Video Doorbell for $44.99 with a free Echo Dot, the $80 Echo Show 5 for the all-time low price of $44.99, an Echo Show 5 and Blink Mini Cam bundle for just $10 more, the best-selling Echo Dot for only $19.99, the new 4th-generation Echo Dot for half price at $24.99, incredible Sony headphones deals starting at $78, a Windows 10 laptop bundled with a 128GB microSDXC for just $219.99, the $50 Echo Auto that adds hands-free Alexa to your car for an all-time low of $14.99 or the $98 Echo Auto bundle with 6 months of Amazon Music Unlimited for the same crazy price of $14.99, more than half off JBL portable Bluetooth speakers, the best Roomba deals of the year starting at $199.99, Amazon’s Echo Buds true wireless earbuds starting at just $79.99 instead of $120, and so much more.

Oh, and did we mention that Amazon is giving away even more free money during Prime Day, aside from the promo we mentioned above? And guess what: You don’t even need to be a Prime member to get it!

There is a terrific hidden offer on Amazon that will score you a free $15 Amazon credit when you buy a $50 Amazon gift card with the coupon code GIFTCARD2021. If you just enter your own info as the recipient and add the money back to your own account, you’ll end up getting that $15 for free! The one catch is that this deal is only for people who have never bought Amazon gift cards before from the Amazon website (purchases from other stores are fine). Thankfully, it’s easy to figure out if you’re eligible. Just add a $50 Amazon gift card to your cart, enter the coupon code at checkout, and the following message should appear near the top of the page when you apply the code: “Congratulations, your purchase qualifies you for an Amazon.com credit. A one-time $15 promotional credit will be automatically applied to your account and emailed to you within three (3) days after shipping.” As long as you see that message, you just scored some free money!
