Here’s how you can score exclusive invite-only Prime deals before next week

If you’ve been following our nonstop coverage here at Post Wanted, you know that Amazon Prime Day is less than a week away.

You’ve probably heard our spiel before sign up for a free 39-day trial of Amazon Prime! While we’re firm that a Prime membership is worth it, there may be an opportunity to shop for select Prime Day deals without a membership.

Enter invite-only deals. This deals breakout category is how Prime members can be granted exclusive access to limited-time doorbuster deals via a direct invite.

RELATED: How Post Wanted finds the best deals

Here’s how invite-only deals work:

• Request an invite. Once you find an invite-only Prime deal that you’d like to purchase (possibly one of the ones we rounded up below!), you can request an invite on its product page.
• Check your email. Once your request is made, Amazon will email you with information, including when invites for your particular product will be sent.
• Access the deal with an invite. If you’re invited, you’ll shortly receive an email with a link to purchase the deal. This email will also highlight how long the deal will be available.

Editor’s note: Please keep in mind that Amazon isn’t able to grant all requests. Select deals run on limited quantities as well, so, even if you’re invited, you can only finalize your purchase while supplies last.

We understand that invite-only deals may be a gamble, but there are a select few we deem the very best. Better yet, you’re able to extend an invitation before Prime Day kicks off on July 16.

Ahead, find the top deals we truly believe are worth your coin and are standouts in every sense of the word. If you play your cards right, you may be VIP enough for Amazon to accept your invite. Wink, wink.

Everyone’s sought-after exercise bike is now on an exclusive, invite-only deal. Shop the Peloton Indoor Exercise Bike for a modern, at-home gym experience like no other. If your invite is accepted, you can snag it for 30% off.

Nothing like shopping early, right?
