Whole Foods will shut down its rewards program, digital coupons, and customers’ online accounts on May 2nd and Sales fold everything into Amazon Deals Prime, according to an email to customers this week. The email, as spotted by Marketwatch, says unused rewards will not roll over to Amazon Prime, so customers should try to use their benefits before the program officially sunsets. No other details were provided, but the online retailer did hint that additional announcements are forthcoming. Since Amazon Deals’s acquisition of Whole Foods last year, the online retailer has been more present in Whole Foods stores across the US. On the day Amazon officially closed the acquisition deal, it immediately started selling Echo speakers in stores nationwide. Over the past few months, feelingcutelol.com it also began offering discounts for Prime members, delivering groceries via Prime Now, adding Amazon Lockers in stores, and giving 5 percent cashback for Whole Foods shoppers with an Amazon Prime Rewards credit card.

Once upon a time, Amazon Prime Day was only once a year, usually in July, but the deals never stop, so why limit ourselves to one sales event? That was obviously Amazon's thinking when they announced the Prime Early Access Sale a few weeks ago, after months of rumors that the e-Commerce colossus was doubling up on Prime Day shopping holidays - with this also serving as an unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season. That's right, folks, "early Black Friday deals" start this week, because why wait for Halloween to be over? Amazon Prime Early Access Sale runs October 11-12 in 15 countries, and as we hunker down for a veritable tsunami of deals, we have our eyes peeled and our keyboards ready. As we seek out the best deals on the best wireless earbuds - almost every bud on that list was discounted back in July - smart home devices, tablets, Chromebooks, and, of course, sales on the best Android phones, flagship and mid-range alike, we're balancing past deals, current values, and changes in the market to ensure you get only the best discounts on the products you want.  Con te​nt has been g​en er at​ed wi᠎th GSA Conte nt Generator Demover si​on.


We're already seeing some sales alive and kicking for Amazon devices - Kindle e-readers, Fire TVs, Echo speakers and beyond - and we'll be keeping this live blog updated throughout the next 48 hours as deals live, die, and (in some cases) live again. The Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook was almost too good to be true at $280, shamaj.tv and alas it has sold out, but there are a handful of other Chromebook deals to take advantage of before their prices turn back into pumpkins at 3AM. Among Acer's superb Chromebook lineup, the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (3H) is just below the premium titans like the Spin 714 and the now-discontinued Spin 713 (rest in peace, my lovely). When I went hands on with it hands-on with it back in May, it showed a lot of promise with its Ryzen chipset, up-firing speakers - something Acer still hasn't made standard for some unknowable reason - and long-lasting battery, and tonight's deal from Best Buy helps it stand out from the pack.


Even if all you need in a watch is for it to look pretty and show your notifications, the Pixel Watch is $350 and you're stuck with Google's proprietary bands for the time being, while you can grab the 40mm Galaxy Watch 4 for $150 and then use it with any 20mm watch band you'd like. I have about 20 bands I swap between on mine depending on my wardrobe, mood, and the time of year. 150 from AmazonAmazon only has the Silver 40mm model down to $150, but you can get the Black 44mm model for $170 off at Best Buy - the larger size has been $30 more expensive, so you get an extra $10 off here. While the Galaxy Watch 4 comes with a magnetic charging puck, it's not very sexy. For a better way to charge both your Galaxy Watch 4 and your smartphone, Samsung's latest version of the Duo wireless charger is down to $50. It'll charge the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphones at up to 15W, but it also supports standard Qi for your Pixel, your wife's iPhone, or whichever wireless charging phone you're rocking.
