"Prime Day" seems to go on year-round and is duplicated by all other retailers, so what's the real benefit??

To answer the question: what's the real benefit of Prime Day? Now it's almost none unless you are following items which are not available on other shopping sites. That is pretty much the Amazon brands.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I kept Prime mainly for Prime Video, but that's easily replaced. I was also getting 5% back for shopping on Amazon with my Prime Visa card. But when I lose Prime that card should revert to Amazon Visa with 3% back.

Now with quite a few stores doing the Black Friday in July bit and some even price matching Amazon, one is not locked into Prime to get a good deal. Other than that $100 invite TV (if I get picked), Prime Day is stacking up to be very underwhelming.

Still waiting to see what Best Buy, Target, and Walmart reveal.
