Tuesday 10/11/22 is here and as teased, Amazon has launched day #1 of their Prime Early Access sale, presumably early with respect to Black Friday and the Holiday shopping season. Or we can just call it Autumn Prime Dayz 🙂

The offers are available to Prime members only BUT if you see something you like, you can start a 30-DAY Prime Trial and take advantage of the offers.

Offers include Amazon’s own hardware (Kindles, Echos, Fire, etc), unlocked Samsung phones (including S22*, Flip 4, Fold 4), Airpods and Beats, EVO laptops from five major manufacturers, Chromebooks, Macbook Air M1, cashback on select products (10% to 25%) if you pay with the Amazon Prime VISA credit card, and so forth. More details in later posts as I digest them ~ on a time-permitting basis 🙂

Also good for Tuesday 10/11/22 and you don’t have to be a Prime member for these, there are a couple of group sales at the Woot daily deals, the main deal is a “Best Of” that includes 10.9″ 2020 iPads, Surface Laptop 3, while under “Electronics” they have a “Best of Tech” sale that includes audio, charging and Xbox controllers among others… Meanwhile under “Computers” there’s a factory reconditioned Samsung laptops sale ($130 to $750, 16 options, Windows and ChromeOS options, 90-day Samsung warranty)…

Heads Up: Tuesday is Prime Early Access sale

Amazon is teasing that Tuesday 10/11/22 will have a Prime Early Access sale. More details when they go live (I have no clue what to expect)…

Prime Benefit: 1-Year of GrubHub+ FREE

Amazon’s Prime benefits continue to evolve with the times. Such as this benefit: as a Prime member you get a 1-Year GrubHub+ membership for FREE. This Grubhub+ membership gets you unlimited $0 deliveries on eligible offers.

The offer continues as long as the Prime membership is active. Meaning if you start a 30-day Prime trial and then cancel it, you don’t get to keep the 1-year GrubHub+ free membership.

NOTE that the GrubHub+ membership is auto-renewing, so if you don’t cancel it before the FREE 12 months are over, you will be charged an on-going monthly fee (currently $10/month), until or unless you manually cancel it.

I haven’t done this, so I can’t tell you what to expect…
