Keep track of your spending on Amazon

Removing expired or invalid cards from your Amazon account is straightforward.

It also pays to keep tabs on your Amazon purchases on your laptop or phone. So you have an idea of what your yearly expenditures look like by the end of the year.

You can also review previous purchases or return items.

If you prefer to keep your list tidier and hidden in a shared account, be sure to take advantage of Amazon Family.

Don't let a shared Amazon account spoil surprise birthday gifts or holiday items — Amazon has tools to keep your private information out of public view.
