Prime memberships aren't cheap. However, the next few days are an excellent time to make use of that $139 subscription. Prime Day starts on June 23 and as I've seen in the past, Amazon is quietly offering a handful of freebie Prime Day deals you can get ahead of the big event.

The deals range from a free 3-month Kindle Unlimited membership to a $200 Amazon gift card when you're approved for a Prime Visa credit card. In total, I've found $550 in savings Prime members can take advantage of right now. Amazon has offered bigger freebie deals in the past, but in today's economy I welcome just about any discounts. Below I've rounded up all of my favorite Prime Day freebie deals.

Not a Prime member? You can sign up for a free 30-day trial at Amazon. Alternatively, college students get 6 months free and 50% off via Prime for Young Adults. (For more deals and personal recommendations, check out our guide to the best early Prime Day deals and the Tom's Guide Savings Squad).
