No, 10% of the difference. For example, AOTC's price at CC and BB will is $14.99, or $5 more than TRU. So, if you paid $14.99 at CC, you would get $5 back plus another 50 cents.
Another problem is that many times, you would have to purchase the item at the higher price and then return to obtain the 110%. You have to consider whether it's worth the hassle.
.last part is not exactly true. you just have to walk over to the customer service desk to get the price match same visit to the store. you don't have to come back.
on CLONES this doesnt seem like to much of a hassle for over $5 saved.
and we'll give you back 110% of the price difference.As indicated in the terms, price match is contingent on an existing CC purchase. In my experience, this has held true - I've always been instructed to either go to the CS counter where I only got the clerk to ring the item equal to the competitor's price.
YMMV, but per the written terms on both CC and BB circulars, price match is restricted to existing store purchases. An indifferent clerk may not give a damn and give it to you, but I believe that's the exception and not the rule.
Update on the Best Buy front. I just got off the phone with Customer Service about their price matching policy. Management said that they would match the $9.99 TRU price for AOTC, but that I would have to forfeit the free calendar. In other words, choose between the price match and NO calendar or choose the BB price with the free calendar included. I wonder if the receipt will say if you received a calendar.Granted it's their rules, but it's total BS! Based on that totally hogwash comment, are they (BB) implying that the $15.99 price is set at that price because of the calendar? Sheesh--the friggin' weekly ad says "Free calendar" with purchase. I don't know about you but I don't think that "free" translates into "For $15.99 you're paying for AOTC and a calendar". Put it another way--the BB ad states that the calendar is valued at $10.99; if they happen to run out of calendars before the sale is over, will they then deduct $10.99 from their $15.99 sales price? I sure don't think so--therefore, their "no freebie if price match" makes no sense since if they're not gonna give you an allowance if they run out of calendars, how can they justify their "no freebie if price match" logic just because their price just happens to come with a "free" calendar that's valued at $10.99?
Like Steve was saying, maybe the receipt won't mention anything about a calendar--that way, you can just go to TRU and buy AOTC for $9.99, then go over to BB and pay the $15.99 so that you can get the free calendar, then go back to BB the next day and return AOTC. Some people may think that doing so (just to get the freebie) would be to undermine BB sales but as far as I'm concerned, so what? If BB chooses to play the silly "pay our price to get the freebie or price match with no freebie" crap--well, two can play at that game...okay, I'm through ranting...
P.S.: I think their "Minimum 300 per store" statement really means that they'll have no more than 300 copies--it's just another way to get you into the store; wouldn't surprise me if they somehow manage to run out of calendars before the AOTC sale is over.
How important is $5 in the grand scheme of things.True, but when you buy a lot DVDs, every dollar adds up. I only own 150 DVDs, but if I saved just a dollar on each one, that is obviously $150.00. Not a bad chunk of change.
Please, folks, ease up on the hostility. How important is a calendar? How important is $5 in the grand scheme of things.well i didnt see anything hostile.
also it seems a bit odd to come into a thread specifically for finding the lowest price for this title, that is located in a forum called coupons and bargains, and to make that statement. sorry patrick thats just the way i see it.
i am glad to save an extra 5 for this dvd and will try to price match at circuit city to try to get another 70 cents.
Do you think Toys R Us will sell out quickly?Yes. If you don't get there very early, I suspect they will be sold out - especially since many of their stores are taking pre-orders. However, from early reports, you should have no problem price matching somewhere, so long you have the ad.
Do you think Toys R Us will sell out quickly?I plan on being in front of TRU when it opens at 9:30am
