UPDATE- My favorite deals TODAY are these two with the following promo codes:
1. GROCERY35 is the promo code to enter for 20% off a grocery purchase. I tried a few things such as coffee but it did not work but it seemed to work for a case of Red Bull which made it way cheaper than I could have paid at Costco. I saved $13 on a case of Redbulls getting the price down to $24 or $1 per Red Bull.
2. PRIMEGCS – is the other promo code to use for #PRIMEDAY because it gets you $10 promotional code sent to you if you purchase a multi-pack of gift cards. I bought 3 $15 Amazon Gift Cards for $45. You will then get an email for a $10 promo code from Amazon to use in the future. Tip: Use your Discover Card for an additional 5%-10% back and click an Ebates link for another 3% on top of that!

Amazon is barely out of it’s teens turning 20 which is actually quite a big birthday for a dot com e-commerce site that used to only sell books. To mark the occasion the mega-retailer is giving Prime members access to a sale event that they claim is bigger than Black Friday.
This may just be a way of rushing Back to School or really rushing Christmas shopping by Amazon comparing this sale to Black Friday. If you want to take time away from your summer vacation or a few minutes off work for the Prime Day sale it begins at 12am PT on July 15 and will push out new deals as quickly as every 10 minutes for a total of 24 hours.
You can sign up now and get in on the sale because it is for new Prime customers as well as old members. There’s no catch if you sign up for the 30-day free trial and still take advantage of the deals and cancel the subscription before you’re charged for Prime.
The sales will run across all departments, including electronics, appliances and apparel, and could appear as lightning deals and deals of the day. The sale is likely a play to entice shoppers to join Amazon’s Prime service. A yearly Prime membership costs $99 and bundles two-day shipping on select items with Amazon services like Instant Video, a music streaming service and access to special Kindle book deals. Read here about the benefits of an Amazon Prime membership besides the free shipping.
Make sure to use these credit cards to get an extra 5% off Prime Day and everyday charges at Amazon.
Amazon’s Prime Day will be a global shopping event offering more deals than Black Friday but exclusively for Prime members in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada and Austria. Be prepared to stick by the computer or smart phone starting Wednesday, July 15 at midnight with new deals starting as often as every ten minutes. Shop thousands of Lightning Deals and seven popular Deals of the Day and receive unlimited fast, free shipping.

The New Target RED Debit or Credit Card that offer 5% Rewards come as a must-have for Target shoppers. Mainly because Target REDcard gives you 5% off everyday, free shipping, and 30 extra days for returning. A great extension for us to have that are procrastinators and hate taking things back.
Now the REDcard saves you 5% on top of our already low prices on every Target shopping trip, every day. You’ll automatically get 5% off when you use your card in Target stores in the United States and on Target.com. From couches and TVs to lipstick and shoes, anything and everything gets free shipping when you use your REDcard at Target.com. Plus, there’s no minimum purchase.
A big pro of this card is that the immediate discount is taken at the register, not cash back that must be claimed at some later date. The Free Shipping is a no-brainier as it is similar paid Amazon Prime service. Donations to Education is another great thing about this card. Target donates 1% of the amount of all REDcard purchases to the K-12 school of your choice.
I fill a ton of Prescriptions like most Americans so I know they will benefit from the extra Savings on Pharmaceutical Purchases. When you fill at least five prescriptions at a Target pharmacy, you receive an extra 5% discount for one day of Target shopping, in addition to your existing 5%. Stack that up and you have 10% for the day!
Some of the Cons of this card is that it doesn’t work with Target Mobile. Target has a cutting-edge product that offers discounts at the store and online. However, it does not offer a discount at Target Mobile. Possibly it will be added in the future.
These cards are not part of a Payment Network such as Visa or MasterCard meaning this card can only be used at Target stores and at Target.com.
Also keep in mind that if you are looking to carry a balance you cannot with this card. Furthermore, those who seek to build credit with the RED Debit card will not be building credit but they can with the credit card version.
