Is Amazon going to do a Prime Day?
Amazon Prime members, it’s your time. Prime Day starts today, July 12, and runs through the end of July 13. Don’t sleep on Amazon’s biggest sale of the year.
The CableTV.com team stands ready to help you choose the right deals for your home entertainment needs. We’ve got our eye on savings up to 60% off Amazon devices like Fire TV Sticks and eero routers. Stick with us, and we’ll help you get the most out of your Prime membership today.
Earn Prime Day cash
Prime Day’s already started, but Amazon Prime members can still earn cash credit to apply to Prime Day purchases.
Collect stamps for a $10 credit
This method will take a little time, but you won’t have to spend much money to earn this $10 credit. Amazon will give you a “stamp” for completing each of these tasks—collect all four by July 13 for your free credit:
- Watch any Amazon Prime Video show
- Play any Prime Music song
- Check out a Prime Reading eBook
- Buy any Prime-eligible product
We knock out that first bullet point every day, and you can too with these Prime Video show recommendations.
Featured offers
While the stamps are a fun gimmick, there are plenty of other ways to earn cash for Prime Day. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Buy your Elvis (2022) ticket through Amazon for a $5 credit. We’re excited about this biopic, but we’ve got some Elvis movies we’d rather see.
- Buy an Lightyear (2022) ticket through Amazon or related merch for a $5 credit. We wonder if Disney & Pixar took any of our Lightyear merch suggestions?

Up to 40% off Insignia HD TVs — Fire TV Edition

Insignia isn’t our favorite brand for TVs—we picked Hisense for our best budget-friendly smart TV. But the Best Buy brand performs well enough and has some good features. Plus, the Prime Day deals are pretty impressive.
So if you’re tired of saving your pennies and want to buy a TV now, this deal is a good option. An Insignia TV might not impress your friends on movie night, but you can wipe your tears with the Benjamins you saved on Prime Day.

- eero 6+: Supports up to 1 Gbps

- eero: Supports up to 350 Mbps
Go for a three-pack if you have a large home—one will work just fine for most smaller places. And if you want Ethernet ports for a wired connection, be sure to get a pack with all routers, rather than “add-ons.”
Amazon Prime Day DVR deals
A good DVR can be pretty hard to find these days. (We may or may not have an unhealthy relationship to TV here at CableTV.com.) But we did find at least one pretty good deal during Prime Day.
