The last Amazon Prime days took place on July 16 and 17, 2024.
Started in 2015, Prime Day has become one of the biggest online sales events, comparable to Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Amazon tries to offer the best products at the lowest price, with products from all the major brands available online to satisfy its members.
Amazon Prime costs CAD 9.99 per month or CAD 99 per year (CAD 8.25 per month). A 30-day free trial is available to Quebec residents via this link. If you’ve already subscribed to Prime in the past, it’s possible that another offer will be displayed for you, i.e. a 7-day trial for CAD 0.99.
Students who are Quebec residents benefit from a reduced pricing, with a half-price subscription at 4.99 CAD/month for 7 months instead of a trial.
You need to be a member to benefit from Prime Day offers. Prime Video members must take out a subscription to benefit from this service.
Amazon Prime is a premium subscription to free priority delivery on millions of items, with no minimum purchase required. The service has expanded in recent years and now offers a range of services, depending on the package chosen:
Subscriptions are either monthly or annual, and delivery is usually within two days.
If you haven’t been a member in the last 12 months, you’ll have 7 days at CAD 0.99. To do this, go to Amazon Prime and select Start your subscription, then follow the site’s instructions. You can cancel at any time.
Members receive invitation-only offers with a selection of products before the big day.
Amazon is a partner of two financial institutions: American Express and TD. You can redeem American Express Membership Rewards points (1,000 Membership Rewards points = $7) or TD Rewards points (1,000 points = $3.33) at Amazon.ca.
Link your American Express or TD Rewards card to your Amazon.ca Shop with Points program. At checkout, select your American Express or TD credit card as your payment method and choose the number of points to apply to your order.
However, it’s worth noting that it’s more advantageous to use your points on your Amazon purchase once it’s been charged to your American Express credit card. In fact, as with any purchase, you can use your points as an account credit at the rate of 1,000 Membership Rewards points = $10. Like my purchase at IGA:
Finally, visit the Aeroplan portal: you can earn up to 18.25 points per dollar on Amazon products by shopping online from the Aeroplan eStore.
Meaning on Prime Days you can earn:
If you don’t have a specific purchase to make on Prime Day, the Amazon gift card is the best option for pampering yourself later. The advantage is that there are no fees or expiry dates to use them. They can be used to purchase eligible products and services on amazon.ca or other Amazon sites in other countries, and you can save up to 8,000 points on the regular points price by using the Aeroplan eStore.
Another option is to buy your Amazon gift cards in grocery stores (IGA, Sobeys, Métro, Super C) with one of these two cards: the American Express Cobalt® Card and the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card. You’ll earn 5 points for every dollar spent on Amazon gift cards, or the equivalent of 5%. And if you use your Scotiabank Gold American Express Card at IGA/Sobeys grocery stores, you’ll even earn 6 points per dollar!
