ive been a loyal ace customer for years now and i thought i knew my way around their rewards portal pretty well but i am genuinely stumped right now. im currently planning this massive deck overhaul and i have a list of big ticket items like a new traeger and some milwaukee m18 fuel gear that i need to pull the trigger on. the problem is my budget is capped at about $1,200 for the tools and gear and right now my cart is sitting at like $1,550 before taxes. i know ace does these flash sales and 'instant savings' deals for rewards members all the time but i cannot for the life of me find a way to set an official price alert. is there a feature im missing in the app or a way to get a push notification when a specific sku drops in price?? i dont want to use some random third party scraper that might compromise my account info i really want something native to their system if it exists.
my requirements for a solution are pretty specific:
- needs to be official or at least verified safe to use with ace rewards
- must send push or email alerts immediately when the price changes
- needs to be able to track specific items not just general categories
- has to work for my local store since prices vary by zip code here in ohio
im on a super tight timeline because my brother is coming into town to help with the build next thursday and i need everything ready to go by then. i keep refreshing the page like a crazy person and it feels like there has to be a more efficient way to do this without wasting my whole day on the website. has anyone actually found a setting for this or do i just have to keep checking manually every four hours...

Honestly, hate to be the bearer of bad news but Ace doesnt actually have a native price alert button for specific SKUs in their app or on the site yet. Its super annoying especially when you are watching high-end stuff like Traeger grills or Milwaukee gear. I would suggest being careful with any third-party browser extensions too... they can be pretty invasive with your data and dont always play nice with the rewards login. Since you are in Ohio and on a tight timeline, your best bet is probably the Ace Rewards app but specifically checking the Local Ad section every morning. Make sure to set your home store correctly because prices for those M18 kits fluctuate like crazy between locations. You might also want to just call the store manager and ask if they have any upcoming Instant Savings on those items starting before next Thursday. Sometimes theyll give you a heads up if a sale is about to drop so you dont waste that extra 350 bucks.

^ This. Also, in my experience over the years, you really cant go wrong with Milwaukee for a project like this. Just grab any of their heavy duty cordless sets and youll be set. A few practical tips:
- Check with your local store manager about upcoming "Instant Savings"
- I use PriceDropCatch to keep an eye on those Traeger prices
- Look for the "hidden" flyer deals on Tuesday nights It beats checking the app every four hours, trust me.
