Amazon Prime Day Reminder

[jagooch]

I keep missing Prime Days because I don't get an alert letting me know when they are going to happen. Is there a service that will send me an alert like "Prime Day starting in 1 week" or "Prime Day started today" ?

Or perhaps a service that automatically adds Prime Day to my Apple Calendar?

Wells Fargo might have a service. They seem to email overdraft messages to me every Prime Day.

I thought they were always right around July 15. If so, you could set a persistent event in your calendar on July 10.

Not a bad idea. Web searches didn't turn up any method to predicate the event or notify me about it. I spoke with Amazon customer support and they had no idea either.

Well, I'm learning Web programming. Once I have my skill level up, I'll take a crack at writing a "Prime Day" monitor that detects the date and add it to my calendar.

Funny thing that I organize several events a month, and notify attendees of when they are happening , and lets them sign up for a reminders the day of the event. If I can do it, I wonder why it seems that Amazon cannot.

I found the following (excerpt shown):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Prime#From_2012_-_2016
Amazon announced that July 15, 2015, its 20th birthday, would be "Amazon Prime Day", with deals for prime members similar to those on Black Friday. ...
​

Although it isn't always exactly on July 15, it seems fairly close in all the cases I found by googling amazon prime day YEAR, where the year was 2015 thru 2019.

I've generally found SlickDeals or just setting up Camel alerts to be more viable.

I just discovered Camel, and I kinda wish I didn't! Man, the way it tracks and sends you little nudges of price drops get it now before it is gone! Sneaky little bastards I tell yeah. Yes I know I signed up for it, but damn you Amazon and Camel!!!
