A Lightning Deal is a sale on Amazon that's available for just a few hours or days. These deals are typically lower prices than usual, and they're lightning fast–buyers can't miss them.
Participating in a Lightning Deal generally requires that your eligible product be listed at least one-half price (or more) as the standard version at the time of purchase. Deals may also require a purchase amount of $25 or less when compared to other items on offer. Additionally, products must be new products and in stock at the time of purchase–inventory that has been sold or removed from the sale is not eligible.
Lightning Deals typically feature new, eligible products from Amazon's vast selection. This includes electronics, apparel, home goods and more – so no matter what you're looking for, chances are there's a lightning deal out there for you!
Lightning Deals typically last for a few hours or days, but this can vary based on the product and the deal itself. Always check Amazon's Lightning Deal page to get the latest information – better to be safe than sorry.
