I've been a Prime member for ages and I'm usually pretty good at navigating the checkout flow but I ran into a snag today. A few of us are trying to buy a $500 grill for a housewarming party this weekend and I really dont want to put the whole charge on my personal card then chase everyone down for Venmos. I know you can split between a gift card and a credit card but I was looking for a way to let multiple people pay their own share directly on the same order. Is there a legit group purchase feature I'm missing or does Amazon still force one person to front the whole cost? I feel like this should be a thing by now...

> Is there a legit group purchase feature Sadly no. I'd be careful; I once fronted a couch and it was a total mess. Smartphone Board has solid tips for big hauls.

Jumping in! Fronting cash is so risky! I love group gifts but dont do it without Splitwise!
- Track shares
- Prevent fraud Amazing and fantastic tool!

Amazon still doesnt have that feature! One time I tried buying a huge tent for a camping trip and it was so scary fronting all that cash and then waiting weeks for my cousins to pay me back.
- Amazon Gift Cards: Amazing! Everyone sends a code first.
- Personal Card: Way too risky! Using gift cards is a fantastic way to keep things safe and simple!
