How to track a price and get a drop alert
Refreshing a product page for a week is not a strategy. Put the product under watch instead, and read its price history before deciding whether today's “deal” is one.
Step by step
Open the product page on BuyMeGift
Price watching lives on our product pages, because that is where we hold the price history the alert is measured against.
Click “Watch price”
The first time, it asks for an email inline. That email is remembered in this browser, so every later product is a single click.
Or set a target price instead
The alert form takes an optional target. Leave it empty to hear about any drop, or name a price to be told only when it goes below that.
Read the price history before you buy
The chart on the product page shows the lowest, average and highest price we have recorded. On a product we have not tracked long enough it says so rather than drawing a flattering line.
Manage or stop the alerts
Every alert email carries an unsubscribe link. Signed in, all your watches sit together under Price alerts on your account page, and each can be removed there.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to watch a price?
No. An email address is enough, and it is remembered locally so the second watch is one click. Signing in adds cross-device access and one page listing every alert.
Can I get the alert in the browser instead of by email?
Yes, where your browser supports it — the alert form offers to turn on notifications for this browser as well. On iPhone and iPad that requires adding BuyMeGift to the Home Screen first.
What exactly are you comparing against?
The price history we recorded ourselves from partner-store data. We do not invent a “was” price, and we do not treat a retailer's crossed-out figure as a verified low.
