Find out how you can save $1 a gallon on gas for your road trip over 4th of July weekend
Whether you're heading into the Indianapolis area or leaving the Hoosier State to celebrate the Fourth of July, Amazon Prime is giving travelers a chance to save money on gas. Prime Day is actually four days on the week after the holiday, but with this deal, you can start saving even earlier.
About 61.6 million car travelers are expected to drive over the holiday weekend. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get a deal on gasoline at more than 7,500 Amoco, BP, and participating AM/PM locations nationwide starting Thursday, July 3, through, Sunday, July 6.
An Amazon Prime membership, which includes free deliveries, discounts at Whole Foods and free Grubhub+ membership, costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year. Young adults and those on government assistance may be eligible for a discounted Amazon Prime membership.
Amazon Prime members will need to link their membership to Earnify, the bp loyalty program, to get the deal. Then, during the July 4th weekend (July 3-6), they can get $1 off per gallon on one fuel purchase (up to 35 gallons) when they fill up at more than 7,500 Amoco, BP and participating AM/PM locations.
Once your account is linked, use the Earnify app store locator to find the nearest participating station. At the pump, redeem the offer by inputting your phone number or linked payment method – or by selecting the gas station and pump they are using in the Earnify app.

Prime members can also regularly get a 10-cent per gallon discount every day when they buy gas at participating locations, with their linked accounts.
Amazon added the 10-cent gas discount after getting feedback from Amazon Prime members, Amazon Prime vice president Jamil Ghani told USA TODAY at the time. "We always look at where we can be of value to members and every time we ask … what would make Prime even more valuable for them, it's fuel savings," he said.

Amazon July Prime Day 2025 date Amazon has announced that this year's Prime Day will occur from July 8 to July 11. Usually, the sale only lasts two days, so this is a significant expansion compared to previous years. However, the amount you save could be affected by tariffs. Regardless, we expect to see tons of price cuts on the latest tech, smart home upgrades, everyday basics and more. Additionally, you can start adding deals to your cart now. Previous Amazon Prime Day dates Since Amazon launched its first Prime Day sale back in 2015, the company has scheduled the event for around the same time of year. Outside of a couple of recent years, Amazon has traditionally kicked off its main sale event around the middle two weeks of July, and 2025 is no exception. Here are the previous Amazon Prime Day dates: Prime Day 2015: July 15 Prime Day 2016: July 12 Prime Day 2017: July 11 to 12 Prime Day 2018: July 16 to 17 Prime Day 2019: July 15 to 16 Prime Day 2020: Oct. 13 to 14 Prime Day 2021: June 21 to 22 Prime Day 2022: July 12 to 13 Prime Early Access Sale 2022: Oct. 11 to 12 Prime Day 2023: July 11 to 12 Prime Big Deal Days 2023: Oct. 10 to 11 Prime Day 2024: July 16 to 17 Prime Big Deal Days 2024: Oct. 8 to 9 Big Spring Sale 2025: March 20 to 25 Prime Day 2025: July 8 to 11 Should you shop July 4th sales or Prime Day? There's no doubt that there will be tons of deals during both events. However, it's not about when to shop but what to shop for. If you're looking for outdoor things like a patio set or power tools, Fourth of July sales will bring you more savings. But if you're looking for electronics or smart home gadgets, you'll have better luck during Prime Day. And if you don't have anything specific in mind, enjoy shopping all these deals for just about half the month of July. Will tariffs affect this year's Prime Day deals? Tariffs are top of mind for most Americans and it could impact this year's Prime Day event. Prices on items like electronics could very well increase, with companies like Apple trying to avoid so by moving manufacturing operations elsewhere. The tariffs are currently paused but only until July, right when Prime Day begins. What is Prime Day? Amazon began the annual Prime Day tradition back in 2015. And ever since, bargain hunters have eagerly awaited its return every summer. The Prime Day sale event has historically taken place in July, and this year is no exception. Amazon often has other sales throughout the year, including a second Prime Day-like sale in October and the Big Spring Sale. We know Prime Day is less than two weeks away but we're covering all the essentials well ahead of time, including everything from signing up for Amazon Prime and returning Prime Day purchases to getting Prime Day deals free and using extra Prime perks.

Unfortunately, there's no guarantee of which event will offer better prices. In reality, the Fourth of July and Prime Day sales are blurring into one massive shopping event that spans multiple days and retailers. With that in mind, we'd lean toward getting your order in sooner rather than later. While there's a slight chance we'll see prices dip a little lower later in the sale, there's a much greater chance that the best bargains will sell out fairly early. If you see a laptop that fits your needs and budget for several hundred dollars off, we'd recommend grabbing it before it goes out of stock. Which retailers offer the best July 4th laptop deals? As you might expect, major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy will be offering some excellent deals for the Fourth of July weekend and for Prime Day. You'll also want to check out smaller online-only retailers like Adorama and B&H Photo, as they may be offering some under-the-radar bargains that aren't being matched elsewhere. Plus, brands like HP and Acer are offering some direct deals of their own. What else is on sale for July 4th? There is a huge variety of deals that you can shop across retailers for the Fourth of July. These include tons of top tech like TVs and laptops, as well as tons of home goods and big-ticket items like mattresses and major appliances. There are also plenty of seasonal deals on things like grills, outdoor gear and other summer essentials. To give you a good idea of what's out there, you can check out our full roundup of all the best Fourth of July deals still available.

We've become good at weeding out scams and superficial deals, so you'll see only the best offers on our lists. When choosing laptop deals, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time. Our team of experts has tested hundreds of laptops to ensure we're bringing you the best options at the best prices. Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no brands are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is. Quality reviews and testing are important for any product, including laptops. If you're unhappy the first time you turn it on, the discount wasn't worthwhile. Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know up front so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.

The shopping wars are heating up this July as Dollar General and Walmart offer discounts ahead of Amazon's Prime Day
What used to be one of the sleepiest times of year for retailers has turned into a major shopping event thanks to Amazon. Amazon's Prime Day this year will last four days between July 8 and 11 — longer than it has run before, and the earliest that the sale has started. A range of other retailers, from Dollar General to REI, are also offering sales that coincide with or start earlier than Prime Day. Fourth-of-July sales for products, such as mattresses or seasonal items like lawnmowers and inflatable pools, have been around longer than Prime Day. Overall, though, early summer was historically a slow time for retail. "July used to be the dog days of summer when people didn't spend that much," said Zak Stambor, senior analyst of retail and e-commerce at EMARKETER, which shares an owner with Business Insider. Prime Day, which Amazon first hosted in 2015, changed that. Now, "July is a time that consumers are conditioned to be on the hunt for deals," Stambor said. "Every retailer needs to respond and lean into that." Best Buy, Dollar General, and other retailers are getting in on the action Besides Prime Day, this year's sales lineup includes a seven-day Fourth of July sale from Best Buy. Like Amazon, Best Buy is offering deals on electronics to members of its paid loyalty programs. Best Buy's sale lasts three days longer than Prime Day, though. It also started on Monday, over a week ahead of Prime Day. Dollar General is planning its own "7 Days of Savings" event, which starts on July 6. The dollar store's discounts for the sale are more limited than Amazon's, with one deal per day, such as a discount on a fan or a buy-one, get-one deal on bratwurst. Walmart and Target, which have offered their own sales around Prime Day in years past, are also getting in on the action again. Walmart's sale, for example, will start on July 8 and run for six days. Members of Walmart+, the big box store's paid membership, will get early access to deals. Department store Kohl's, outdoor gear retailer REI, and home improvement chain Lowe's are also among the stores offering Fourth-of-July and other sales around the same time as Prime Day this year. Amazon may have drawn inspiration from its rivals for its longer Prime Day, Stambor said. Last year, when Prime Day was two days long, Walmart's sale was twice as long. "Amazon can see that those events have resonated, and so why not hop in the pool and join them?" Stambor said. All those deals could be welcome this year as consumers watch their spending closely and worry about prices going up due to tariffs. President Donald Trump's 90-day pause on many of the tariffs that he enacted in April expires on July 9, the second day of Prime Day. Amazon still has an edge over many other retailers when it comes to conveniences like fast delivery and value, Stambor said. And marquee sales events like Prime Day allow Amazon to increase its market share in the long run. Rival retailers' sales are also a chance for them to win over customers. "What is their unique value proposition that will drive consumers to buy from them rather than just go to Amazon or Walmart?" Stambor said.
