Wal-Mart Price Matching Program

|
If you shop at Wal-Mart, starting saving your receipts. Today marks the first day that Wal-Mart’s new holiday price match program, as reported by CNN Money last week. From November 1st through December 25th, they will give you a gift card for the difference between your price, from your receipt, and the competitor’s price as a gift card.
For the record, Wal-Mart has always price matched local competitors based on a series of specific criteria at the time of purchase:
- Buy one get one free ads with a specified price,
- A listed price that features a specified item,
- Preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are printed in an ad,
- Fresh produce and meat items when the price is offered in the same unit type (lb. for lb., each for each)
They will not match:
- Items that require a separate purchase to get the ad price,
- Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get free product,
- Items that require a purchase to get a competitor’s gift card,
- Buy one get one free with no price listed,
- Going out of business or closeout prices,
- Percentage off,
- Private label price promotions.
What separates this program is that you can now get a refund if you find the price listed cheaper elsewhere. I don’t know how much money people can expect to save but every little bit counts!

They also won’t match oil change service for your auto.
Careful though, I couldn’t get Walmart to price match a sale they were having a week after I purchased a small hand vacuum. Even though I had the receipt.
wouldn’t it be FANTASTIC if everybody did this and got HUGE gift cards…..to the point that walmart went broke???? just a fantasy. That won’t happen because they are crooked skum.
