How do I limit unwanted deal alerts?

29 14 November 21, 2025 at 10:56 PM
I can't find any instructions on how to filter out unwanted keywords. For example, I have a deal alert set for 3D printers, but the vast majority of alerts I get are for 3D printer filament... Which obviously doesn't do me any good without having the printer first! So what do I need to do to only get alerts for actual printers? I'm having the same problem with a bunch of other alerts that are just way too inclusive. It makes the alerts pretty useless when I get so many, so how does everybody else solve this problem? Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated.
