Amazon Prime Day 2018 is coming to Whole Foods Markets, too

The magic of Amazon Prime Day isn't being relegated exclusively to Amazon's online home. Rather, you will be able to exercise your Prime membership benefits at Whole Foods Market, too.

The magic of Amazon Prime Day isn’t being relegated exclusively to Amazon’s online home. Rather, you will be able to exercise your Prime membership benefits at brick and mortar stores, too — specifically at Whole Foods Market locations across the country. This Prime Day, Amazon members who spend $10 at Whole Foods will receive $10 in Amazon credit, and to sweeten the deal even further, Buy Now will be able to take advantage of 10 percent back when shopping at Whole Foods. So make sure you take some time off of online shopping to get your groceries, too.

This year’s supersized Prime Day will take place over the course of 36 hours, and will begin on July 16 at noon PT. But Whole Foods customers will have an even larger time window during which to save. From July 11 to July 17, Prime subscribers will get $10 on Amazon for their Whole Foods loyalty.

“This is Whole Foods Market’s first Prime Day and we’re taking the shopping experience to the next level,” John Mackey, co-founder and chief executive officer at Whole Foods Market, said in a statement. “Between our exclusive deals and special Prime Day offers, you’re not going to want to miss out on these savings.”

In order to receive your $10 credit, you need to scan your Prime Code in your Whole Foods Market or Amazon app upon checkout. While Amazon Prime Rewards Visa cardmembers generally receive five percent back on their purchases, during Prime Day, this percentage will double. Shoppers will be able to take advantage of this inflated rate on a total of up to $400 in purchases between July 14 and July 17.

If you’ve yet to experience the magic of getting Whole Foods delivered to your door via Amazon Prime Now, you’ll be able to save up to $20. Prime members who have not yet tried grocery delivery from Whole Foods Market using the service will receive $10 off their first order (before July 17), and will also get an additional $10 that can be used toward a future order.

“This year Prime members will experience a special flavor of Prime Day in every Whole Foods Market store nationwide,” Cem Sibay, vice president of Amazon Prime, said in a statement. “Prime members will also save big, from earning $10 to spend on Amazon for Prime Day when they spend $10 at Whole Foods Market, to 10 percent back when shopping Whole Foods Market using their Amazon Prime Rewards Visa card.”

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
