Let’s talk about Amazon lightening deals for a second. I know you have heard/seen me post about them and I have gotten a lot of questions so I thought I would make it easier.
Lightening deals and just what they sound like, to get the best deal you have to strike QUICK. Amazon releases deals through out the day that for the most part that are really good. They start getting even better in the next few weeks and you can really score big on some of them!
But when they are live, they often sell out in minutes.
To help you get the deals you want, each morning BEFORE 8am I will be posting the line up and times of the deals for that day. I will also be alerting you on Facebook before each one goes live, so make sure to be checking there during the day.
What can you do to make sure you get your item:
- Be ready to add the item to your cart
- Check out quickly
- Get on wait lists
When you get to a lightening deal, add it to your cart. This is NOT going to guarantee that you have it. If you don’t check out within 14 minutes it gets released. Usually to the people on the waitlist. Check out asap to make sure that you have it. Also, get on the waitlist! I get deals all the time that I am on the waitlist for, mostly I think people are not checking out in time and I get their deal.
If you like the thrill of getting a great deal, then lightening deals are for you!

If you are on the waitlist, how do you know if & when you are able to purchase?
