We're all ordering more from Amazon these days, so it's important to keep track of purchases if you want to stay on budget. Fortunately, Amazon has a tool for Prime accounts, making it easy to see your complete purchase history. Here's how to use the tool and a backup plan to get your purchase history another way.

When you have trouble with an Amazon order, there are times when it’s easier to talk to a customer service representative rather than write a lengthy note or deal with a chatbot. An Amazon customer service rep will call you if you know the trick.

• While logged into your Amazon account, go to the Contact us page. At first glance, it appears as only a way to chat with a representative.
• Here’s the secret. If you look closely underneath the yellow Start Chatting Now box, in small letters, you’ll see the “We can call you” link.
• Click that, enter your phone number, and you’ll see an estimated time before you receive the call. I’ve never waited more than three minutes. Be sure to have your order number handy to expedite getting the result you want.
