Amazon's Prime Day is here. This year, the online retailer's mega-sale event kicks off on July 16 and runs through July 17, going for a total of 36 hours--longer than we've seen in the past. Amazon promises it will have big savings across all categories of items--which covers everything from games to TVs--basically like a Black Friday sale in July. The only catch is that you have to be a Prime member to get the deals--though if you're not, we have a free solution below. Here are some tips to make the most of Prime Day and how you can secure the best possible deals.

One of the best tips for anyone without a Prime account heading into Prime Day is that Prime subscriptions begin with a month-long free trial (six months for students). Seeing as trial members get full access to Prime deals, that means you can sign up for the month of July to take advantage of the offer. If you don't like it, you can always cancel your subscription before paying a cent.
