These practices should be illegal.
Would love some tips (if any) on how to beat algorithms.

Useless Consumer Reports….what else is new !
Dynamic pricing doesn’t feel fair, either. Given a price, I ought to have some reasonable time to research it, compare, discuss with others on the trip, etc. We don’t see supermarkets adjusting prices every 15 minutes. If I’m shopping at a store but decide to go eat before I make a purchase and have to carry it around, I expect the price to be the same when I get back after my meal.
Just because they can adjust prices every 15 minutes doesn’t mean it’s ok.
