Amazon Prime Day gift card deals - all the sales that you can get right now

Amazon Prime Day gift card deals kick off tomorrow, July 12, and we're already seeing a few smaller offers available now that give us a decent indication of how things are going. Far from the highest priority from the world's largest online retailer, there should still be a few discounts cropping up worth your consideration when the date itself is upon us. 

Arguably the largest Prime Day gift card deal from last year was from within Amazon itself, as we touch upon below. However, there were savings across the likes of Xbox and PlayStation's online storefronts, too, with up to 10% off depending on the amount you spend. As far as value for money goes, these offers seem to be among the most consistent, the latter of which we're starting to see again in the run-up tomorrow. 

If you're interested in more gaming discounts this month, then we're also bringing you everything there is to know about the upcoming Prime Day PS5 deals, Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals, and Prime Day Xbox deals as well.

FAQs

When will Prime Day gift card deals start?

Amazon has now officially confirmed that Prime Day will be taking place from July 12 and July 13, which is consistent with what we've seen historically. Early Prime Day deals are supposedly going to begin from 21 June, so keep an eye out over the next few weeks for offers in the run-up to the big day itself. 

Do I need a Prime Membership to access Prime Day gift card deals?

An Amazon Prime membership is the best way to make sure that you don't miss out on any of the Prime Day gift card deals, especially when relating back to the retailer's own storefront. Fortunately, there's a 30-day free trial available which grants you full access to all the benefits afforded by the service, including next-day delivery and the Prime Video platform just to name a few. 

What will Amazon Prime Day gift card deals look like in 2022?

Thinking back on the winter sales events gives us a more encompassing view of the kind of discounts to expect during the Amazon Prime Day gift card deals as the time frame is far more recent. For instance, last year, we saw minor savings on most gamer-centric gift card values on the world's largest online retailer. As an example, the Xbox Gift Cards were 10% off over the Black Friday period for a limited time. You could get yourself a $50 Xbox gift card for $45, as well as a $100 gift card for $90, so the value was scaled with the amount of money put down. 

It's not just the digital store vouchers that have enjoyed discounts over this period. The same can be said for the likes of Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus as well. One of the better-value deals we've seen is 3 Months Xbox Live Gold available for around the $16 mark (was $25), giving a $9 discount. Over with Sony's systems, last year you could get your hands on a 12-month PlayStation Plus membership for $45 (was $60) which saved you $15. 

It's a similar story with gift cards relating to Nintendo, too. This year alone, we've witnessed the $50 Nintendo eShop gift card available for $44.99 (saving you 10%), with 10% off also happening historically with both the $10 and $20 values, too. Based on these experiences, we're anticipating that many gaming gift cards will enjoy 10% off their face value rates when Prime Day comes around again. It's looking like the better value, however, is going to be with memberships through the likes of Xbox Live and PlayStation Plus, though. 


We're also watching out for Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals and Prime Day TV deals, too.
