Just placed my first Alexa Deals purchase. Actually it was my first purchase of any kind via Alexa. As luck would have it I was looking at getting a UPS Battery Backup power supply yesterday. I picked out an APC model but never pulled the trigger to buy it, deciding instead to wait. This morning I was totally surprised to see the exact model via Alexa Deals for $12 off. That is a 22% savings. So I pulled the trigger via Alexa. One small glitch occurred when I was prompted for the authorization code and honestly did not remember setting up one when I set up Alexa to allow purchasing. I had to open the Alexa app on my iPhone and look up the code. Apparently it was a code that Amazon put into my account as I would never have used that one. I changed it to something I would remember, then asked Alexa a second time to place the order and it went through without a hitch. I probably had a senior moment (a brain fart to you younger folks) when I set up Alexa purchasing and somehow accepted a default code Amazon suggested. Oh well, it is set up correctly now and the code is definitely a good idea to prevent accidental purchasing. I hear it can prevent monkeys from ordering Dots on your account too!
