1. Find specific product deals

When you know exactly what type of product you want, cut straight to the best options with targeted prompts. I used the prompt: “What’s the best Prime Day deal on noise-canceling headphones?”
This product-specific approach cuts straight to what you actually want to buy. Instead of wading through hundreds of headphone deals, ChatGPT can identify the standout options based on discount percentage, original price, and brand reputation.
You can substitute any product category: wireless earbuds, coffee makers, laptop stands, and get focused recommendations rather than generic browsing results.

2. Discover deals within your budget

Set clear spending limits to help ChatGPT surface deals you might never have found through traditional browsing. Try a prompt like: “What are the best early Prime Day deals under $100 on Amazon right now?”
Budget-focused prompts help you discover deals you might never have found otherwise. You might be thinking about tech gadgets but ChatGPT could surface excellent home goods, kitchen appliances, or outdoor gear that fits your budget perfectly.
This approach also prevents you from getting distracted by expensive items and helps you maximize value within your actual spending limit.

3. Make smarter comparisons

When choosing between similar products, get ChatGPT to evaluate options based on your actual intended use. I used: “Compare early Prime Day deals on tablets for reading and streaming.”
Comparison prompts help you make informed decisions rather than impulse purchases. By specifying your intended use, reading and streaming in my case, ChatGPT can evaluate deals based on relevant factors like screen quality, battery life, and storage rather than just price.
This prevents buyer’s remorse and ensures you get the right product for your needs, not just the cheapest option.

4. Focus on quality to avoid disappointments

Prioritize customer satisfaction over deep discounts to find deals on products you’ll actually enjoy long-term. I used the following prompt: “What are the best-reviewed items currently on sale for Prime Day?”
This prompt works well as it helps you avoid the common Prime Day trap of buying heavily discounted items that turn out to be poor quality. By prioritizing well-reviewed products, you’re more likely to find deals on items you’ll actually use and enjoy long-term.
It’s particularly useful for discovering products from brands you might not be familiar with but that have earned strong customer loyalty.

5. Prioritize time-sensitive opportunities

With this kind of prompt, you can cut through the Lightning Deal overwhelm by focusing on limited-time offers that are actually worth rushing for.
A Lightning Deal is Amazon’s term for a time-limited promotional offer with a limited quantity of items available at a discounted price. Try this simple prompt: “Are there any current Lightning Deals I should grab today?”
As Lightning Deals disappear quickly, ChatGPT can help you prioritize which limited-time offers are actually worth rushing for versus which ones you can safely skip.
This prompt is also useful during peak Prime Day hours when new Lightning Deals are appearing constantly.
