Amazon deals I actually think are worth checking out


So it’s Amazon Prime Day. (Well, technically it runs from July 8–11)

And honestly?

Not a whole lot that’s catching my eye right now.

A lot of “deals” feel like marked-up stuff that have been discounted.

BUT there are a couple of items that are genuinely worth considering, especially if you travel.

Here’s what I’ve got:


The links below are my Amazon affiliate links, using these links help support my work!

1. Slim Anker Travel Adapter

This is one of the most compact travel adapters I’ve found, and it’s finally on sale for Prime Day.

Normally: $25.99

Prime Day price: $19.99

It’s got:

  • Built-in plugs for UK, EU, Asia and Australia
  • 2 USB-C + 2 USB-A ports + Outlet
  • Works in 200+ countries
  • All-in-one design = no extra adapters needed

I bought it last month at full price and still don’t regret it. But now that it’s $6 cheaper...

It’s super thin, much smaller than the usual bulky bricks.

Definitely recommend if you’re tired of carrying multiple adapters or constantly forgetting the right one.


2. Ultrahuman Ring AIR

I’ve been wearing the Ultrahuman Ring AIR for about a year now, and it’s helped me track and optimize my sleep when I'm jet lagged; now, with the newborn, it's been helpful as well.

The thing I love about it is there is no monthly subscription for the ring.

It’s on sale for Prime Day and I have an extra 10% off code that stacks on top of the Amazon deal, which makes it even cheaper than the price at Costco.

Extra 10% off code: AMZNMMP10

Just make sure you:

  • Order the $0.95 sizing kit from Amazon first so you get the right fit
  • Then buy the ring once you know your size
  • Use my 10% off code: AMZNMMP10

3. Use just one Amex Point for up to 50% off

This is one of those weird-but-amazing Amazon promos where you:

  • Use just ONE Amex Membership Rewards point at checkout
  • Get up to 15–50% off your entire purchase

Not everyone gets the full 50%, though. I only got 15%, but it’s still free money.

You can check if you’re eligible [using this link] (I’ll drop it below too).

Important: The item must be sold and shipped by Amazon for the discount to apply.


4. Don’t know what to buy? Buy gift cards.

If you’re not really shopping but still want to take advantage of the offers, gift cards are your friend.

  • You can’t buy Amazon gift cards with the Amex deal I mentioned above.
  • But you can buy things like Uber, Uber Eats, DoorDash, Southwest, Airbnb, etc.
  • Most of these are “shipped and sold by Amazon,” so the Amex discount should apply

There’s also a separate Prime Day promo on Uber / Uber Eats gift cards.


5. AirTags Lowest Price Ever

A four pack of AirTags are on sale again at their lowest price ever


Bonus: Check price history with CamelCamelCamel

Just because something says Prime Day Deal doesn’t mean it’s the best price ever. Before you buy, head to camelcamelcamel.com (yes, the name is ridiculous) and paste in the Amazon link.

You’ll see the full price history of that product and whether it’s actually at an all-time low or just pretending.


That’s it for now. Hopefully this gave you a few ideas for Prime Day purchases.

Talk soon,

Max
