How to Filter Lightning Deals on Amazon: 2025 Playbook

Amazon Lightning Deals can drop prices by 20–60%, but they vanish almost as fast as they appear. If you’ve ever clicked “Add to Cart” only to find the offer gone, this quick guide is for you.

Why You Need Better Filters

Lightning Deals are time-boxed and inventory-limited. The default Amazon filters are built for browsing, not bargain-sniping. By tightening your filters—or automating them—you’ll spend less time scrolling and more time scoring genuine discounts.

Try the One-Click Filter Tool

I built a lightweight web app that bundles every must-have filter (Prime-only, in-stock, discount slider, Boolean keywords) into a single page. No extensions or logins—just results:
