Amazon may soon offer a reason to ditch your Fire TV Stick and try something new
If your current Fire TV Stick is looking a little past its best, now could be a good time to ditch it and try something new. It's been confirmed that Amazon is about to launch another of its massive Prime Day sale events, and we expect some hefty price cuts to be announced across a swathe of devices.
If history repeats itself, Amazon's own brand gadgets could see the biggest reductions. That includes the very latest Fire TV Sticks, which have often been slashed during previous Prime Day events.
For example, the most premium Fire TV Stick 4K Max has seen its cost cut to under £45 during Prime Day. If that happens this time around, it could be a good time to invest with this device offering features such as better streaming, more power under its shell and the exclusive Ambient Experience which turns your TV into a work of art.
There's also the latest Fire TV Stick 4K, which includes pin-sharp streaming, fast Wi-Fi 6 speeds and quick access to all the most popular apps such as Netflix and Disney+.
The 4K currently costs £59.99, but that could drop to around £35 next week.
Along with Fire TV Sticks, we are also likely to see Kindles, Fire Tablets and Echo speakers dropped in price.
To add to the Prime Day excitement, it's also been confirmed that products from Bose, Sonos and LEGO will be included in the sale.
Amazon also says there will be new offers this year called, 'Today's Big Deals'.
These will be themed daily deal drops featuring some of the most exciting deals of the event, exclusive to Prime members.
Members can enjoy deep discounts across top brands like Samsung, Kiehl's, and Levi's. These special offers launch daily at midnight PDT and remain available for a limited time, while supplies last.
Just remember that you will need a Prime account which usually costs £8.99. However, Amazon does offer one month free, so if you sign up now, you won't have to pay for Prime Day deals.

Amazon Prime Day shoppers urged to stay alert as fraudsters use AI to craft convincing scams
Advice Direct Scotland says criminals are exploiting artificial intelligence to create realistic phishing emails and automated calls that make it harder to spot fraud. Lanarkshire shoppers are being urged to stay alert ahead of Amazon Prime Day as fraudsters use artificial intelligence to craft increasingly convincing scams. Advice Direct Scotland, which runs the national consumer advice service says criminals are exploiting AI to create realistic phishing emails and automated calls that make it harder to spot fraud. With Amazon Prime Day running from July 8-11, the charity warns scammers will target bargain hunters looking for deals during the ongoing cost of living crisis. Its advisers have recently handled cases including fake messages about Prime membership renewals, bogus refund offers, and calls claiming Amazon accounts have been hacked. The warning comes after Advice Direct Scotland revealed that Scots have lost at least £860,000 to cyber criminals in the past year amid a tenfold surge in online scams. Hazel Knowles, senior project lead for Advice Direct Scotland, said: 'With households across Scotland still facing huge financial pressures because of the cost of living and energy crises, it is understandable that people will be hunting for genuine Prime Day deals. 'But criminals are also looking for opportunities and now they have AI to help them sound more believable than ever. It can be easy to get caught out, especially if a call or email seems urgent and official. "But the best advice is to take a moment, trust your instincts, and check before you buy or click. 'Amazon will never ask for remote access to your device or for payment details over the phone or email. "If something feels suspicious, it probably is, and our expert team is here to help if you are unsure. "Anyone who is caught out by a scam or spots a suspected scam should report it using our free ScamWatch tool at Scammers often claim shoppers have ordered expensive items like iPhones and demand personal or banking details to cancel payments. Others use robocalls warning that Prime membership will renew at a discounted rate unless a button is pressed immediately. Fraudsters also try to trick people into downloading software that gives them remote access to devices, exposing bank details. Advice Direct Scotland stresses that Amazon will never call to ask for remote access or to install apps. If you receive suspicious calls, texts, or emails asking for personal information or payments, do not respond. The charity advises people to stay vigilant and, if a call appears suspicious or raises concern, to hang up immediately and contact your bank or card issuer directly.

Amazon Prime members can save $1 per gallon of gas
The ability to save money on gas is one of many deals shoppers can snag ahead of the Amazon Prime Day sales event. Amazon Prime members, who are some of over 60 million drivers set to travel during the Fourth of July weekend, can save $1 per gallon of gas at participating locations from July 3 to July 6. Prime members can use this deal at one of more than 7,500 Amoco, BP and other participating locations nationwide, ahead of the Prime Day sales event from July 8 to July 11. Drivers can access the Earnify app's store locator for nearest locations, and redeem the offer by typing in a phone number or linked payment, or by selecting the gas station and pump being used in the app. In addition to this deal, Prime members can continue to receive a 10-cent-per-gallon discount every day at participating locations. Shoppers who aren't interested in gas saving can check out other early offerings , including a three-month free trial of Audible. Amazon Prime Day is available for all shoppers who don't mind spending $14.99 a month or $139 a year on a membership, but you can also sign up for a free 30 day trial which will give you access to all the deals. Young adults and government assisted shoppers could be eligible for discounts. Today, the event is accessible in over 20 countries, and after racking in $14.2 billion in revenue last year, the company expects high earnings in what will be its first-ever four-day Prime Day from July 8 to July 11. Other benefits of a Prime membership include free same-day and next-day deliveries, Whole Foods discounts, and free Grubhub+ memberships. But it comes as thousands of shoppers have recently been turning away from Prime memberships despite the event hype. The service has been cutting some perks, including axing Amazon Today from various neighborhoods, eliminating its Try Before You Buy service , and raising the price of Amazon Music Unlimited subscriptions . While the company is expanding same-day and next day delivery to over 4,000 small cities, towns, and rural communities, some customers have begun exploring the idea of deactivating Prime in favor of Target 360 memberships. Prime Day comes after Amazon sent a grim warning of potential price hikes from tariffs . Experts have also predicted that the company could raise Prime memberships by $20 next year .

Experts have also predicted that the company could raise Prime memberships by $20 next year. JPMorgan analyst Douglas Anmuth forecast that Amazon customers may need to pay $159 instead of the usual $139 annually for a Prime membership starting next year. The prediction is based on Amazon's pattern of raising prices on significant features every four years. 'A $20 U.S. Prime price increase is seen driving about $3 billion in incremental annualized net sales,' Anmuth wrote in a note via TheStreet. The e-commerce giant will release its second quarter results on August 1.
