Amazon is the largest Internet-based retailer in the United States. Founded in 1994 by Jeff Bezos, Amazon was originally named "Cadabra" - and made its online debut in 1995. Amazon began as an online bookstore and within its first two months in business, had made sells in all fifty states and 45 countries around the world. (In case you're wondering, the first book ever sold on Amazon.com was Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies by Douglas Hofstadte.) Amazon has since expanded its product line to include electronics, appliances, household goods, apparel, TV shows, Amazon echo, Amazon video and more. Amazon.com has come a long way from their early days when employees would ring a bell inside the building to celebrate making a sale.
Frequent Amazon shoppers should definitely sign up for a Prime membership. While there are no Amazon Prime coupon codes, the $119 annual fee provides a lot of value with free two-day shipping, access to Amazon Video and Amazon Music, plus you’ll get access to Prime Pantry for low-priced grocery delivery, early access to lightning deals and unlimited photo storage, plus up to 20% off Amazon Mom products.
Amazon rarely offers site-wide coupon codes, but they do offer coupons for specific products. During Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, Amazon will automatically apply discounts when you add products to your cart. While there might not be lots of Amazon promo codes, they do offer peace of mind when shopping. For example, if you buy an item from Amazon, then spot an identical product on an Amazon competitor's site at a lower price, they'll refund you the price difference. As long as you see the identical cheaper product within 14 days, you should be covered. Review the Amazon price matching policy to learn more.
