There's no denying that Amazon Prime Day is one of the biggest shopping events of the year. It's the time to find the best deals on tech, home goods, appliances and more, and an Amazon Prime membership is your ticket to savings.
After last year's event being cancelled in Canada, details about when Amazon Prime Day 2022 will be taking place are still scarce, but that doesn't mean you can't put your Prime membership to good use in the meantime.
In fact, Amazon Canada just made a Prime membership even more appealing with new updates to the program that will save you money. With the new changes, millions of items are now eligible for Prime Free One-Day Delivery when shipping to most Canadian cities and towns.
Previously, customers had to hit a $25 order minimum in order to have access to free one-day delivery.
In addition to the speedy delivery options, read on to find out why a Prime membership is worth signing up for ahead of Amazon Prime Day 2022.
