As Amazon prepares for Prime Day on July 11-12, some great early deals have already started to appear. But if years past are any indication, we expect to see even more significant discounts in the coming days, with little time to snag them up before they're gone. Though Alexa can help you watch some highly sought-after deals, Amazon has also opened a few "invitation-only" opportunities ahead of time. 

Also: These are the Alexa devices you'll want to snag on Prime Day

Requesting an invitation to one of these limited deals doesn't mean you'll get to buy a 43-inch TV at$99 before Prime Day, but it will give you an early peek at some of the great sales being planned.

No. When you request an invitation on an invite-only deal, you're not guaranteed access to the deal price on Prime Day. Sales and items are limited in quantity, and Amazon will not grant all invitation requests. 

Also: Forget Prime Day. These are the best Amazon Prime alternatives

According to Amazon, if you are invited and given access to the deal price, you'll get an email with a unique link on Prime Day to prevent people from sharing their deal links. This link will be valid during the Prime Day event.

What if I get accepted but can't buy the item before the deal expires?

According to Amazon, if you are given access to purchase a deal-priced item during Prime Day by invitation, but the timer on the product page expires, you will lose the chance to buy the item. You can request another invitation, if applicable.
