While Prime Day last year was a 36-hour event, Prime Day 2019 will be a 48-hour event. Prime members will be able to start shopping more than 1 million deals sitewide at 12 a.m. PT on July 15 and ending at 11:59 p.m. PT on July 16\u2014 but you can expect that at least some of the deals will continue on through the days following. In the week leading up to Prime Day, Amazon has also traditionally released a handful of early promotions and deals. These early Prime Day deals usually revolve around Amazon devices such as Kindle e-readers and Amazon services such as Prime Pantry. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/amazon-prime-day-date?r=US&amp;IR=T\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Walmart joins the Amazon Prime Day sale fray:<\/strong> Steven Musil at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/\">CNET<\/a> reports that after eBay and Target announced sales to coincide with Amazon&#8217;s Prime Day, Walmart is throwing its hat in the ring with a sale of its own. Like eBay and Target, Walmart is hoping to steal some of Amazon&#8217;s thunder by kicking off its sale a day before Prime Day, which will start July 15. Walmart said Wednesday that it&#8217;ll release thousands of special buys and Rollbacks on Walmart.com during an online sale that begins July 14 and runs through July 17. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/walmart-joins-the-amazon-prime-day-sale-fray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amazon snags Taylor Swift to headline its Prime Day 2019 concert:<\/strong> Sarah Perez at <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/\">TechCrunch<\/a> reports that Amazon is going big on this year\u2019s Prime Day.
