Amazon's Alexa for Shopping shows 30-, 90- and 365-day price history
Amazon's updated guide to its Alexa for Shopping assistant says it shows price history over 30, 90 and 365 days and can set price alerts or auto-buy at a target price.
Amazon updated its guide to the Alexa for Shopping assistant on October 29, 2026. It says the assistant shows 30-, 90- and 365-day price history, and that shoppers can ask questions such as whether an item has been on sale in the past 30 days.
Amazon also says shoppers can set price alerts or tell the assistant to buy an item once it reaches a target price, using their default payment method.
Why it matters: price history is the best defense against inflated list-price discounts during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. If you use auto-buy, confirm the exact item and seller before setting a target.
