[FONT="]Who can participate: Technically, you must be an Amazon Prime subscriber to take advantage of Prime Day deals... but some vendors may offer discounts to all shoppers.[/FONT]

[h=2]Deals coming on Prime Day[/h]Prime Day deals revealed early. Amazon just lifted the curtain on some of the deals that will be available when the event kicks off. Among them: A Kindle Paperwhite for $80 (the lowest price ever on that model, and that includes Black Friday) and a Blink XT 1 Camera System for $75 (regularly $130).
Amazon has also announced a boatload of back-to-school deals, including 30 percent off select STEM toys, a 32-inch smart TV (brand not specified) for $130 and up to 30 percent off AmazonBasics office-supply products.
A $10 credit when you spend $10 at Whole Foods. Yep, you'll get a $10 Amazon credit when you spend at least $10 at the Amazon-owned grocery chain. But that doesn't kick in until Prime Day proper, so don't head to the store just yet. Thankfully, you don't need to have an Amazon Prime Rewards Visa card to score this perk. Just scan the Prime Code in your Amazon or Whole Foods app when you check out.
Huawei phone deals. If you're in the market for a new phone, Huawei has a pair of deals lined up for Prime Day: The Honor View 10 for $399 ($100 off) and Honor 7X for $169 (a $30 savings).
Save on a dashcam, get a Bluetooth speaker free. During Prime Day, you can get the popular Vantrue N2 Pro dashcam for $145.99 with promo code PRIMEVNP. Add the Vantrue V1 Bluetooth speaker to your cart and you'll get it for free! It normally sells for $50.
ViewSonic monitors and projectors. The company has discounts planned for about a dozen products, including the PX747-4K projector for $1,000 (currently $1,275) and the XG2402 FreeSync Gaming Monitor for $170 (currently $250).
Nvidia Shield TV with remote for $139. The jack-of-many-trades Nvidia 4K streaming box is currently $179, but on Prime Day you'll be able to snag it for $40 less. Read CNET's Nvidia Shield review to learn more.
Save 25 percent on a Yubico YubiKey 4. It looks like a flash drive, but this USB security key adds an extra layer of protection to your PC. Just plug it in and tap the gold button to gain access. The YubiKey 4 normally runs $40, but it'll be $30 on Prime Day.
Samsung Connect Home smart Wi-Fi system 3-pack for $99. Lowe's will offer up to 60 percent off select smart-home products, including this mesh-network combo, which normally runs $300. It earned a 4.5-star average from Lowe's customers, but read CNET's Samsung Connect Home review for a deeper dive. (Interestingly, price was one of the biggest complaints... but you can't complain about $99!)
