I think that might work : ) But it's a looong time from now, if that's even gonna happen.

I had an similar suggestion in my head...a button for delayed joining...
Lets say you want to Join an 60p Giveaway, but you only have 50p...you can press the "Enter when enough points" button and it will join when you reach that points...
Your suggestion is like an bot and bad if you forget to disable it or didnt synched your account...
/edit: did you edit your posting xD?...

Sounds like a great idea. Especially because it sounds like it can only be used for a certain giveaway, not a game, so it cannot be abused, as a bot could do this anyway.

I like it. I see a lot of games I want in giveaways (I love bundle games, look at my wishlist if you need proof) but I don't have enough points.

Not only you!
Btw. about the OP, that's a great idea.

Would be a good idea. Though it might make more popular games get more entries which may bug some people.

I have an example. Imagine you see a giveaway for something you want but entering would cost you more points than you have at the moment. Then you take a look at your watch and remember that you'll spend the entire day hiking/in a plane/at a friend's house/dead.
My suggestion is some sort of automated entry, that you can set on a maximum number of giveaways (say 1 for example). If you MANUALLY use this for that particular giveaway, the site would automatically enter you if you got enough points.
Comments?
PS: Perhaps one per day or something.
EDIT:
Since a few things were unclear, I will give a more specific example.
Imagine you have 50P. You see a Skyrim giveaway which ends in 5 hours, Skyrim is 60P. You click on the "Reserve Entry" button, then you spend the day hiking in the alps. Meanwhile, Steamgifts waits until you have 60P, then it enters the Skyrim giveaway for you and takes 60P away. You come back and didn't win, but at least you got to enter.
MORE EDIT:
Suggested by Markers: Being able to use that entry ticket also for a "Giveaway starts in..." giveaway. Good idea, might as well be used for such giveaways.
