Amazon shoppers can get a Firestick or Echo Dot for as little as £1.64 - here's how you can claim

Amazon Prime Day 2022 is the perfect excuse to snap up a new Amazon Echo or Fire TV Stick - and you can get them for just £1.64 using this simple trick

Amazon Prime Day, the retail giant's massive sale event where thousands of items are discounted is just hours away. However, despite the Big Deal Days sale event kicking off on Tuesday, October 8 - it won't be the cheapest place to purchase three of the retailer's top-selling tech devices.

The Fire TV Stick, Echo Pop and Echo Dot speaker are all big sellers, but despite being Amazon products, shoppers may want to consider a lesser-known retailer this week to grab a bargain. This alternative option could get you the Alexa voice-remote Fire TV Stick for just £1.64, an Echo Dot for £7.51 and the latest Echo Pop for only £4.57.

So, how can these prices be achieved? It's down to two main factors - Amazon's decision to slash prices early and the deals site TopCashback. When combined, shoppers will achieve a saving currently unmatched elsewhere, as our shopping team can explain.

For the Fire TV Stick, Amazon's HDMI plug-in solution to make TVs smart, shoppers can combine its current 62 per cent off deal with TopCashback's £15 offer for new members. To do this, shoppers need to register or sign up with TopCashback, navigate to the search bar and type in Amazon, as reported by Bristol Live.

From here, purchase your chosen Fire Stick, Echo Pop or Echo Dot as usual through TopCashback's redirected link.

Initially, customers will pay Amazon's current sale price - so £16.99 for the Fire TV Stick - but after seven days, £15 cashback will appear in shoppers' accounts - bringing the price down to a staggeringly low £1.64. Outside of Prime sales this exact same Fire Stick costs customers £44.99, roughly 97 per cent cheaper than usual.

If you've been eyeing up Amazon's 5th generation Echo Dot, the Alexa-backed speaker that does so much more than just play music with its smart home capabilities and hands-free virtual assistant, Amazon's discounts reduce it from £54.99 to £22.99 - but when bought through TopCashback's link this cuts the price to only £7.99.

Then there's the Echo Pop, Amazon's reintroduced device with its moon-like half speaker and half alarm clock face. Combining the two retailers deals - and crucially shopping through TopCashback's link - reduces this to only £4.57. However, customers should note they'll have to wait seven days for the cashback to appear, so it's not an instant automatic saving.

It's a massive week for consumers as well as Amazon and TopCashback as a handful of retailers are starting to launch sales - as we start to anticipate Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Debenhams and Dunelm are two alternatives worth considering who have ongoing sales and offers.
