After months of being pushed back and delayed, Prime Day is finally less than two weeks away. This major two-day shopping event is held by Amazon annually, generally in July, as a chance for Prime members to score low prices worthy of Black Friday before November even hits. With this year's Prime Day happening so close to Black Friday, we're expecting even better deals than we've seen in the past. To kick off the big event, Amazon has a number of great deals that are already live — including several offers which can earn you up to $160 to use during Prime Day 2020!

As with all Prime Day deals, you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member if you're hoping to take advantage of any of these offers. If you've never started a free 30-day trial before, now's really the perfect opportunity. Your trial membership grants you access to all of Prime's perks, including free two-day shipping, the Prime Video streaming service, and all of Prime's exclusive members-only discounts. That includes all the early Prime Day deals we'll see as well as the offers below.
