Amazon touts Prime Day sales available only in-store

Amazon is promoting its brick-and-mortar assets in the days leading up to Prime Day. 

The online giant is launching a number of deals that are available at its physical stores ahead of (and during) the mega-sales event, which starts on July 11 at 3 a.m.  A sampling is below.

•Amazon Fresh: Leading up to Prime Day, Prime members who spend $50 or more at Amazon Fresh stores get 20% off their in-store purchases.  During the Prime Day event, from July 11 - July 12, members who spend $50 or more at the stores get 25% off their in-store purchases.

•Amazon Go: Leading up to and during Prime Day, Prime members who spend $10 at an Amazon Go store will get $5 to spend on their next visit (the deal can only be redeemed once per account).

•Amazon Style: Customers who shop in person at an Amazon Style Store  can save an extra 20% off, saving up to 70% on Prime Day deals from their favorite brands, the company said.  (The first Amazon Style store opened in May 2022, in Columbus, Ohio, followed by a second, in Glendale, Calif.)

•Whole Foods Market: The grocer is offering an array of deals, including 35% off ice cream and frozen desserts from July 5-18.  

Customers can also earn 6% back when they shop with their Prime Visa card (as opposed to the usual 5%).  Also, customers can receive a $200 Amazon Gift Card upon approval for the Prime Visa through July 26.
