Found the perfect camping gear for our $500 trip next month! I'm stuck between making a wish list or just logging into his phone to manually add it all, but is there a way to just send my cart to his account? He needs to buy it tonight to use his points...

Honestly it is so annoying that Amazon still hasnt fixed this. Youd think a trillion-dollar company would let us share a cart by now, but unfortunately, they make it way harder than it needs to be. Using lists has caused issues for me before where prices changed while I was waiting for my partner to check out... it is super frustrating when you are trying to budget for a big $500 trip and need to use points before they expire. Heres what I usually do:

  • My go-to now is Cart To Link because it basically bundles your whole cart into one link so he can just click and buy everything at once.
  • Otherwise, just log into his account on your laptop and move things over from your wishlist manually, tho it takes forever. It is not as good as it should be, but it beats searching every item on his phone. Good luck with the camping, hope the points cover most of it!

In my experience, Amazon is weirdly stubborn about not letting you just push a cart to another person. Over the years, I've tried basically every workaround cuz my spouse usually has the rewards points. Wasted way too much time making public wish lists only for half the gear to be out of stock or the wrong color by the time he actually logs in... it's super annoying when you're trying to kit out a $500 camping trip and need everything to be perfect. For stuff like a Coleman gas stove or those mid-range Kelty tents, you really want the exact model in the cart. Usually I just end up logging into his account on my own browser window, but that triggers those annoying two-factor codes every single time. Honestly such a hassle. If you guys are buying tonight, you could try the Amazon Household feature, but it dont always sync the active cart smoothly. Most people just end up texting individual links back and forth which is a total nightmare for a big order. Btw I started using Cart To Link and it makes it way easier to show people what's in my cart.

> Found the perfect camping gear for our $500 trip next month! I'm stuck between making a wish list or just logging into his phone to manually add it all Saw your post earlier and wanted to chime in because I've dealt with this exact headache for our big family trips. Honestly, logging into his phone is risky since it can mess up session cookies or even trigger those annoying security alerts. Amazon keeps carts tied to individual sessions for safety, mostly to prevent cross-account data leaks. It's frustrating but keeps things secure. What I usually do now is use a browser extension that lets you share carts, but you gotta be careful with third-party tools regarding privacy. The safest official way I've found over the years is setting up an Amazon Household. It lets you share prime benefits and payment methods without sharing passwords. It's way more reliable than manual lists which always seem to lose the specific sizes or colors I picked. Hope you guys have an awesome trip, camping is the best!
