Keep track of your spending on Amazon
Removing expired or invalid cards from your Amazon account is straightforward. It also pays to check your Amazon order history on your laptop or phone to see where your money went. You can also review previous purchases or return items. However, you can’t delete items from your order history. You can archive specific Amazon orders instead to hide recent purchases. It will come in handy when you want to keep surprise birthday gifts or personal items from prying eyes.
