I kind of like the "Favorites" idea. Or possibly a Que that automatically enters you in a giveaway when you receive the amount of points required. That are ranked in priority that you want to be entered in.

Naw just a favourites, a queue would promote inactivity.

During my first weeks here, I always managed to run out of points, so every night near bedtime I'd notice a cool giveaway that would end in the middle of the night. Naturally, the giveaway would always cost like 2 points more than what I had. So every night I helplessly waited for half an hour or more, hoping for the points so I could go to fucking bed. And I'd always think, maaaan if only I could tell SteamGifts to enter this giveaway (and only this one!) as soon as I got the points needed, if I got them.
But of course, after that I learned how to be responsible point-wise. And now I never have less than 100P. I actually feel guilty if I go below the 100P threshold.

In that case, you just go to Giveaways -> View Entries, limit to Open giveaways and remove entries from any giveaways that don't end for a day or two and use the points to enter the giveaway ending sooner. (For that reason it'd be helpful to have the points value for each giveaway to appear on the View Giveaways page.)

Hijacking! Okay so this what I use and it is perfect, the ignore system is great.

Yeah, I use this too, but there is an issue when you want to enter a giveaway that ends shortly and have to exit from a few that end in a week or so. This system would enable an easier tracking of those giveaways that you want to get into but currently don't have the points (rather than bookmarking it in your browser of choice or searching all over again for the games, which is rather time consuming)

I like the bookmark/favorites idea but not the shortlist. The whole point is that you have to spend your points wisely as to have enough for the games that you really want. If you don't have enough to enter then maybe you are entered into too many. Time management, enter the ones you want that end soonest. Try not to enter giveaways that are longer until they are almost out of time. A shortlist would just make it to easy for everyone to enter what they want. I like the favorites and bookmarks though so maybe add some sort of alarm that will notify you when you have enough but you should still have to enter manually.

That was exactly what I was thinking of. The automatic entry is rarely a good idea as new giveaways pop up every minute and you really need your brain to decide on how are you going to spend your points. A simple favorite bookmark list would be a great addition to this site

Having frequent point deficiencies I had a moment of clarity xD
The idea is that there could be an "Add to shortlist" button on every giveaway page (public, private, group or contrib) and you could shortlist them so that when you get enough points/contribs you could quickly and easily enter said giveaway (Giveaways > View Shortlist), instead of searching through all of the giveaways or bookmarking a huge list on your browser (managing that is a real pain -.-)
So, what do you think?
oh, and it can be Shortlist/Bookmarks/Favorites, depending on what the sg webmaster deems appropriate :D
