To take advantage of these deals, you've got to be a Prime member. Regardless of your feelings about the retail behemoth or its bazillionaire owner, there's no denying an Amazon Prime membership is a fantastic bargain that pays for itself many times over throughout the course of the year (but especially this time of year). You know all about the free two-day delivery, extra savings at Whole Foods, Prime Video, Amazon Music, and all that stuff. But chew on this: You even get a year of free GrubHub+ when you sign up for an Amazon Prime membership. How cool is that?

Sign up for a free 30-day trial here; after that, you can choose to pay $14.99/month with the option to cancel any time, or pay $139 annually and save more than forty bucks over the course of the year. Or just cancel it once you've got the goods you want.

The 622GW is a fully functional dash cam kit that's among the best on the market. We've used this unit extensively and have always been impressed by the quality and ease of use. That said, if you're not a professional driver, it's probably more dash cam than you need.
