How to turn on and use Alexa's advanced deal alerts
Open the Alexa mobile app. Go to More > Settings > Notifications > Amazon Shopping; from there, hit Shopping Recommendations and then Deal Recommendations.
Add products you're interested into your Wish List, Shopping Cart, or Saved for Later queue on the Amazon app or website.
When Alexa catches word of an upcoming deal on one of those products, your Echo will light up yellow. Ask, "Alexa, what are my notifications?" to learn more.
Once you've heard the latest deals, ask Alexa to remind you about the deal or ask her to order it when it goes live. ("Alexa, buy it for me.") The purchase will be made using the default payment and delivery address in your Amazon account, so make sure that information is updated and correct beforehand.
What if an item sells out or I change my mind?
You'll only be charged if your order goes through when the deal is available. If a product sells out before Alexa gets to it, she'll break the news in an email and a push notification. And if you change your mind about an item, Amazon will send you a post-purchase confirmation email that contains a "Cancel order request" link just in case.
