I received an email from Amazon alerting me about the offer, so be sure to check your inbox as not all Prime subscribers will be eligible.
The hugely popular summer sale event kicks off at midnight on July 8.
This year it’s been extended to four days for the first time, running until July 11.
Bargain shoppers have been told to expect discounts for top brands including Bose, De’ Longhi, Dyson, Lego, Shark, CeraVe, Ninja, and Sonos for 2025’s Prime Day bonanza.
But a little-known trick can help you trim even more off the final cost.
And all you need to do is download Amazon’s free Photos app and upload at least one picture.
Amazon Photos is an often forgotten perk that comes with your Prime subscription.
It provides you with unlimited photo back-up storage, so you can effectively avoid paying for iCloud or any other cloud storage service.
However, the £15 free credit offer is only for customers who have never uploaded to Amazon Photos before.
“Get a £15 Amazon credit for Prime Day when you start backing up your photos with Amazon Photos,” the email reads.
“Take advantage of all your Prime benefits. Prime members get free, unlimited, full-resolution photo storage and 5 GB for video.
“Start uploading your photos today for limitless peace of mind. Offer valid through July 14.”
The offer only applies to customers who received a dedicated email or who have been shown a banner ad to promote the offer and clicked on the banner advertisement.
To check if you’re eligible, you can visit this page on Amazon’s website.
HOW I GOT AMAZON PRIME FOR £1
By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun
If you’re not a Prime subscriber and you’ve exhausted those free trials, there are other ways to avoid paying the £8.99 monthly fee.
Network providers routinely offer discounts on it.
So, Vodafone’s VeryMe perks allowed me to get prime for £1 for three months.
Other networks like O2 let you redeem Extras when signing up, which includes free Amazon Prime for six months too.
You can also add Prime to your mobile bill for a discount as well.
It’s also important to point out that the £15 credit can only be used on items sold by Amazon.
So, purchases made from Amazon’s Warehouse Deals or from third-party sellers on Amazon Marketplace – even if “fulfilled by Amazon” or “Prime Eligible” – are not included.
And you’ll need to spend a minimum of £30 for the credit to work.
All prices in this article were correct at the time of writing, but may have since changed.
Always do your own research before making any purchase.
COMMON PRIME DAY MISTAKES
Katy Phillips, senior brand and communication manager at idealo shares with Sun readers three common Prime Day mistakes
1. Buying something just because its discounted
An obvious rule that is often forgotten about is only buying something you actually need. Over half (59%) of those polled by idealo admitted that they ended up with a product they didn’t want after Prime Day last year.
Just because things are on sale, doesn’t mean you need to buy it! Keep a strict list if there are things you need. Nearly everything on the website will be marked as a ‘prime day deal’ regardless of whether the price has changed.
2. Not doing your research
A whopping 80% of Brits say they never price compare when shopping sale events but experts are urging everyone to spend more researching products before making a purchase.
Before you buy anything on Prime Day, make sure you compare prices elsewhere. Look on price comparison websites to see if it’s cheaper elsewhere and utilise price alerts where possible. These will send you notifications each time a product reaches its lowest price.
3. Not recognising scams
Each year a new scam will arrive just in time for Prime Day, ready to catch shoppers out. A common one includes hoax emails from the Amazon ‘Support Team’ were a new tactic used by criminals to steal people’s personal information.
If you see any emails or offers boasting £50 free to spend on Prime Day – they won’t be real. Make sure you’re on the real Amazon website also, as there may be links that take you to a site that looks similar to Amazon but isn’t the real thing.
