If I do this at Amazon:

Put one of the 50% off titles in my cart
Choose "Save for later"

Will I be able to buy it tomorrow for 50% off?

Can't really save for sure. I know when you just had on you WISH LIST it wouldn't be.

BUT, during last weeks little fiasco w/Amazon & their "floating" discounts, I had 2 items in my SAVE FOR LATER cart. When the prices reverted back to normal they were still the earlier discounted price and I was able to check out with those prices.

Not really sure tho.

"Save For Later" will definitely NOT preserve the price. You must put in an actual order for the price to stay...

"Save for later" worked fine for me. I just ordered Notting Hill and Jungle Book for 50% off. If I clicked the link for Notting Hill or Jungle Book and chose "Open in new Window" they both came up with their old prices. But I was able to Proceed to Checkout and place the order for yesterday's discount.
