If you have had a difficult time finding the Amazon Lightning Deals that I tell you about on Facebook,  this post will be a step-by-step tutorial to give you the best chance at getting those lightning deals that really do sell out quickly.

The screenshots below are from the Black Friday Deals Week, but it is the same for the Cyber Monday Deals Week that are going on right now.

On Facebook, I’m posting the direct link to the Amazon Cyber Monday Page: http://amzn.to/HRSGlL.

This will open up to the following page; this page shows you ALL AVAILABLE lightning deals:

To view the upcoming deals, you’ll want to click on the UPCOMING tab; this will include all upcoming deals as well as current lightning deals available to claim:

To find a specific category, you’ll want to choose the category from the drop down menu on the right (in this case, Toys and Games):

As you can see from the above screenshot, I was trying to get the LEGO Super Heroes Arctic Batman vs Mr. Freeze, but I was put on the waitlist (as #21, which is a pretty high waitlist number and I actually was able to get this even though I was put on the waitlist).

So that’s how you find the deals.

Tip #1 – Do NOT refresh your screen.  If you refresh, it will take you back to the Home Page for Lightning Deals. You’ll want to wait until the countdown hits zero and claim quickly.

Tip #2 – Make sure you system is operating under optimal conditions.  Install any updates your computer wants to install, and don’t have a ton of programs operating at once, which can slow down your response time on the deal.

Tip #3 – Try a different browser. I would suggest using Google Chrome or Firefox if you’re not having any luck with Internet Explorer.

Tip #4 – Enable 1-Click ordering. Your deal is secured once it’s purchased; by signing into 1-Click ordering, you’ll be able to purchase your lightning deal very quickly.  (Just remember you have it enabled later on!)

Even with these tips, you’re not guaranteed anything, but they will increase your odds of claiming the deal, or at least being put on the waitlist at a good number.

Hope this helps – good luck!  Go HERE to practice for that lightning deal you’ve got your eye on!  🙂
