But Amazon isn’t alone in the discount day.

Target has announced its version of the shopper's online paradise called "red-hot summer savings."

Some of the deals include 30 percent off Target-exclusive home brands, 25 percent off beauty and personal care products and 30 percent off top Google products, Fortune reportedThe company also promotes that no membership is required to cash in.

The same cannot be said for Amazon’s Prime Day, which is exclusively for Prime members.

Other companies are also riding Amazon’s discount coattails.

CNBC reported that eBay announced it will have "thousands of exclusive deals" Tuesday, with no membership required.

Bed Bath & Beyond, Lowes, Jo-Ann Stores and J.C. Penney have said that they will price match Amazon's prices, but items must be in-stock, identical items and sold by Amazon, not a third-party seller, USA Today reported.

Best Buy will price match "a non-Prime Day offer that is available to any shopper," according to USA Today.
