Lightning, spotlights and gold
On Prime Day, get ready for a storm of Lightning Deals. If you really want an item, you’ll have to be on alert as the Lightning Deals pop up. When you see a Prime Day Spotlight Deal, however, there’s less urgency since these tend to have the most inventory. You don’t have to move as quickly as you would during a Lightning Deal, but that doesn’t mean you can lollygag. If you’re not prone to quick reactions and adrenaline rushes, maybe stick to the Gold Box Deals of the Day. These last 24 hours before being replaced, but remember, they can sell out too.
