Amazon just dropped a new feature called "Auto Buy" and it's all about snagging deals on items "Fulfilled by Amazon" while you're not even looking! Basically, you tell Amazon the price you're willing to pay for something, and if the price dips that low, they automatically buy it for you using your default payment method. Pretty cool, right?

Now, here's why this matters to us award travelers: Imagine setting price alerts on travel essentials like luggage, noise-canceling headphones, or even those fancy travel adapters. If the price drops, BAM, you get it without even lifting a finger. However, keep in mind you can't use coupons or other discounts with "Auto Buy" and it's only available to Prime members. The author also suggests waiting to use it, as there might be promotions for first-time users in the future. So, keep an eye out for bonus savings!
