Target deals to expect during the Amazon Prime Day 2022 sales event

Amazon will be holding its 2022 Prime Day deals event on July 12 through July 13, during which time Amazon Prime subscribers can enjoy massive savings on a ton of items found on Amazon.com besides phones. 

Needless to say, competing retailers like Target schedule their own sales events that coincide with the Amazon Prime Days duration so as not to be outdone. Here's what you can expect from Target as deals during the Amazon Prime Day 2022 event.  Of course, other massive store networks are preparing their own savings events in retaliation.

Target could be hosting its own Deal Days event full of discounts and sales in direct competition with Amazon Prime Day 2022, as usual. Last year, Deal Days started on the 20th of June and ran through the 22nd for a full three days of the event. The deals are usually on rotation, so you will have to check back often (Target.com or simply return to the current article) to find the best new Target offers during the Amazon Prime Days shopping bonanza.

During the Amazon Prime Day sales, Target usually tacks generous gift cards with phone purchases like last year when it gave a $250 gift card for each sale of a flagship phone. But that's not too bad — you are effectively saving $250, you just need to spend that $250 back in Target. We'll have to wait and see if Amazon Prime Day gets us outright $250 in savings towards flagship smartphone purchases.

In addition, there are usually a couple of manufacturer refurbished models that are down to a bargain price, likely to include the Galaxy S20 series this year like they included their predecessors last year. Whether or not we'll see the $250 off a Galaxy S22 Ultra via a Target gift card during the 2022 Amazon Prime Day sales, remains to be seen.

Get the 512GB Galaxy S22 Ultra at up to $1200 off with a free 128GB-to-256GB or 256GB-to-512GB storage upgrade on Samsung. An enhanced trade-in credit of up to $1000 for a used Galaxy S21 Ultra is also available, as is an $825 credit for the Note 20 Ultra.

You can grab one of the many iPad Pro, Galaxy Tab, or Microsoft Surface Pro deals — Target usually tacks on a keyboard case and a stylus pen as freebies with a hefty price cut to boot. Not too bad! The iPad deals in particular, though, are usually not exclusive for the Amazon Prime Day period, as Target has those $100 off or similar offers throughout the year. 

We had some minor discounts on the Apple Watch Series 6, a good price-slashing of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and a few Fossil Gen 5 (with Google's Wear OS) units at a pretty good discount.

To preview the kind of deals on headphones and earbuds that Target may include for Amazon's Prime Day 2022 event we'd have to resort to last year's offers when it had the Apple AirPods Pro at 25% off, or the Sony WFSP800N Sports In-Ear Noise Canceling True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds for $110 less.

As per Target's announcement, most discounts will be persistent, but there will be special limited-time deals popping up. This means one will have to keep a close eye on the website. Lucky for you, we will be doing just that once the Amazon Prime Day 2022 event starts, so keep an eye on this page for the best smartphone, tablet, and tech deals from Target on Prime Day.

Target's Deal Days is a digital event, which means you need to shop on Target.com to see and make use of the deals. However, you can schedule same-day delivery or in-store pickup for your purchased items. This should definitely help you feel the joy of that impulse buy faster.
