Amazon Cyber Monday deals in the US will give you a second chance to buy just about everything you could ever want but missed out on during Black Friday.

Cyber Monday is on Monday, November 27, and Amazon is likely to tout 4K TV deals, laptops on sale, reduced iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S8 prices and simply have Nintendo Switch and SNES Classic Mini in stock.

Best of all, if you're looking for Amazon devices for the cheapest price all year, the retailer is expected offer a price drop on the Amazon Echo, Kindle, Fire TV and Fire Tablets, while also offering deals for its services like Prime and Kindle Unlimited.

There's a lot of savings to be had during Amazon Cyber Monday sale. How can you best prepare and what deals are likely to show up on November 27? We have the full rundown of what to expect in a few short months.

Amazon Prime and Cyber Monday

One way to get ahead of the pack on Cyber Monday is to sign up for an Amazon Prime subscription, or make use of the one you already have: some of the bargains you'll see are exclusive to Prime members, or exclusive to Prime members for a limited time.

As we're not privy to Amazon's exact plans, we can't be any more specific than to say that in general you're going to be at an advantage if you sign up for Amazon Prime before Cyber Monday arrives - the company is always looking to boost its subscriber numbers as high as it can, so expect it to have some incentives in store. You might get extra discounts on existing savings, or even deals that are exclusive to Prime members.

You need to stump up $99 a year at the moment for an Amazon Prime subscription (slightly more if you go month-to-month), which gets you a ton of benefits besides putting you at the head of the queue when it comes to Cyber Monday offers: Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Prime Music, cloud storage space for your photos and of course a ticket to the Amazon Prime deals day every summer.

Amazon Lightning Deals

Amazon Lightning Deals are special, time-limited offers that pop up on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, giving you the opportunity to grab a bargain in double-quick time. Stock is usually low and time is usually short, so if you don't jump in when you've got the chance, you run the risk of losing out completely.

As they're limited by time and stock, you often see some hefty discounts on offer with these Lightning Deals, so they're a great option for the savvy Cyber Monday 2017 shopper. Of course, we don't recommend jumping  into anything you're not sure about, but seize the opportunity if you are.

A Lightning Deal is "a promotion in which a limited number of discounts are offered on an item for a short period of time" according to Amazon, and they can be found on the Today's Deals page. If you're a Prime member then you get access even earlier too.

Phone Cyber Monday deals - It's hard to find the new iPhone on sale, but we were able to find a few iPhone deals on Cyber Monday through Amazon. The savings was an average of $25 on the handset compared to the Apple Store. Every little bit counts. iPhone 8 deals may be harder to come by.
