You can get bigger Amazon Prime Day discounts if you buy through your Alexa speaker

• Amazon Prime members can get bigger discounts on some products during Prime Day if they buy through their Amazon Alexa speaker, rather than on the main Amazon website.
• For example, an Amazon smart plug is priced at £24.99 ($32.62) on the Amazon UK website, but costs only £9.99 ($13.04) when purchased through Alexa.
• Amazon Prime Day, which offers big discounts on thousands of products to Amazon Prime members, runs Tuesday and Wednesday.
• Customers can find out the latest deals from their Alexa speaker by asking: "Alexa, what are your deals?"

It appears that discounts on Amazon Prime Day are bigger with Alexa.

Amazon Prime members searching for deals through their Amazon voice assistant speaker are finding lower prices on products than they are by going through the main Amazon website.

For example, Business Insider found an Amazon smart plug priced at £24.99 ($33) on Amazon UK — but this dropped to £9.99 ($13) when accessed through voice assistant Alexa.

It's not clear how many products are cheaper through Alexa. Amazon did not respond to a request for comment.
