I think it would be nice if they listed all the deals for a specific item on the same page so you could see which you qualified for and make a more informed decision.
- Hidden deals. After I bought my Echo for $130 using my Chase Visa Amazon card, I learned that if I had purchased $150 of deals I would have gotten $30 off. So I think that means I could have selected another $20 worth of deals and still paid $10 less! Those kind of deals and offers should have been more clear and easier to discover. An email would have been nice a few days prior to the deals.
- Finding deals was a royal PITA. It still requires a lot of browsing, or what I call near blind browsing. And as usual, Amazon placed a lot of items in unrelated categories, and that makes them harder to find. Personally, I hate only getting to scroll through a single page with 30 or so items per page, then having to wait while their slow server pulls up the next page.

Last year's Prime Day could be excused a bit for the goofs, because they probably didn't plan for it an entire year. This year they had a full year to plan and managed to make more mistakes than last year!
Wait till next year!
- A server will explode at the start of the sale, setting the entire data center on fire.
- They'll only list the deals two to a page, and you have to wait five minutes for another page to load.
- They'll split deals across fifty different sites, with overlapping deals that might or might not stack depending on the phase of the moon and what direction you stick your tongue out.
- And then they'll forget to ship half of it till the next week.
And they'll
still do more in sales than this year's Prime Day somehow.
