Understand price-drop alerts

Price-drop alerts notify eligible US accounts about qualifying price changes for saved gifts from brands with a GiftList Storefront. They do not monitor every product from every website or guarantee the lowest checkout price.

Check whether a gift is eligible

The current alert feature is US-only and applies to supported storefront products you have saved. A qualifying drop is at least 10% and at least $5 below the product's usual price. An arbitrary manually entered gift or retailer link is not automatically covered.

Alerts are limited to at most one a day and three in seven days and are sent between 9am and 9pm in your local time. A small price change, an unsupported product, quiet hours or daily/weekly limits or insufficient price history can explain why no alert arrived.

Change the setting

1. Sign in and open your profile. In the app, use Edit profile.
2. Open Notifications & email and find Price-drop alerts when available for your account.
3. Enable the alert preference for the delivery channels you want. The corresponding Onboarding and product updates consent must also be enabled for each channel; the alert switch alone is not enough.
4. Choose Save preferences and check the saved state. Review device notification permissions as well if using push.

If the row is missing, confirm your account's country and whether the current app supports that control. Turning on general notifications does not make an ineligible product eligible for price tracking.

Check the price before buying

Open the retailer and verify the current price, exact variant, stock, delivery charges and final total. A price can change after an alert is generated; the alert is not a price lock, discount code or promise of savings.

If you believe a supported product should have alerted, contact support with its product/list link, the approximate time and your device/app version. Do not include payment details or expect support to supply a retailer discount.
