I don't want to have to search through all our prior purchases whenever I am looking for something specific to reorder for them.

Anyway to create sort of a subset of orders within all of my orders?

I'm lazy but have time to do this.

It's really easy to search within your own orders from the "Your Orders" page. Way easier to do that than to page through a bunch of orders. I use this all the time.

You'll have to be mindful to watch that you select the right shipping address. I recently had something sent to my sister's house and then subsequently sent a week's worth of my own orders to her house accidentally because I forgot to switch the address back to my own. Oops.

Create wish lists of items you reorder.

Thanks PP this is what I am trying to set up. I messed it up originally but will get it done. I am doing this to only pay for one prime membership as well as to keep MIL's charges separate.

You can share your prime membership with someone else. I pay for it, my DH is on it too. Our purchase history is kept separate. I can not see what he has ordered, and he can't see what I've ordered because we have our own log ins.

Are you trying to pay for just one prime account?

NP here
I agree with the above. We have young adult kids at two different colleges, and we send them things to their college addresses when needed. 99% of the time it's been fine, but occasionally we've forgotten to check the address before we send and our college kid gets something we need, or vice versa.

I just added my mom's credit card and address to my account, and I order her stuff with her cc and send it to her address.

What is the point of 2 accounts?

Do you use wishlists?

Is the plan to have them pay for the items, or will you guys be paying?

+1


Same goes for credit card info. too. You just select or edit or add a new cc.

I would probably get better about delaying your own purchases to a few times a week. You can put your items in "save for later" while you place orders for your parents. Then move to your cart when it's your items you are checking out.

Save their address. After you place orders, you start a private "list" called "mom and dad" and add items there that you've purchased. When you need to re-buy something, just go to that list.

I think that'd be easier than having 2 log ins.

This is what I do, as well – for my dad and FIL. For my dad, I have his CC info in there, too, for times that he insists on paying. As long as you don’t do the “one click” purchase option, there’s always a review screen at check out.

I am going to start using Amazon to get items for my in-laws. Is there a way to separate out their orders from my orders? Or is it easier/cleaner to just start a new 2nd account for them. We are talking about 35 items a month.

Unfortunately my ILs are not computer literate so I must do this for them. Any tips?
