Amazon Prime normally costs £8.99 a month (or £95 a year) but the online shopping giant is still offering a 30-day free trial.
This would cover Prime Day and means you can cancel your membership in plenty of time before the 30 day trial period is up.

Make sure you’re shopping for something you actually need - after all, a bargain is only a bargain if you were going to buy it in the first place.
The best way to avoid impulse spending is to write a list of everything you’re planning on buying.
Ask yourself which items are a “want” and which are a “need” and place them in priority order on a piece of paper.
Then write down your maximum budget for each product.
Like past years, retailers like Currys, Argos, John Lewis and more often price match with Amazon, so it's worth keeping an eye on competitors - especially when looking for specific products.
You should also do a quick “ Google Shopping” search by typing in the name of the item into Google to see if you can get the same item cheaper elsewhere.
Another comparison website that can tell you the latest prices for a particular product is Price Spy.
Amazon will go live with flash sales, otherwise known as 'Lighting Deals' throughout the day, however these deals usually only last for 30 minutes, or even less if they sell out - so don't wait around if something catches your eye.
To find these deals, check out the " Today’s Deals " page.
Also, keep in mind that products aren’t kept aside for you whilst they’re in your basket.
