For months, we were on the edge of our seats wondering when we would learn more about Amazon Prime Day 2022. Now, Amazon finally let us in on the secret, revealing that this year’s event will be taking place on July 12 and 13.

And while deals are still coming, for anyone who is itching to get shopping, there are already plenty of markdowns available on the site. And some of the biggest deals that we've found so far have been on tech. The retailer is marking down top gadgets, so you can score a TV for as little as $90 or a fitness tracker for 55% off.

And as if you needed another excuse to take advantage of these deals, it actually pays to shop early. Amazon recently announced that Prime members can earn a $10 credit to use on Prime Day or on future Amazon purchases with the brand's new Amazon Prime Stampcard. In order to collect stamps and get the credit, you must stream Prime Video, listen to Prime Music, borrow a Prime Reading or Kindle Unlimited book or add one to their library and make a Prime-shipping eligible purchase, Amazon has shared.

Here, some of the best Amazon device deals that you can shop ahead of Prime Day.
