Recoup Some of Your Losses!

I just wanted to remind everyone about price drop policies this holiday season (and all year long, really). Most stores have them and although their terms may vary, the policy generally works like this –> You buy something and if the price drops within X number of days, you can bring in your receipt and ask for a refund of the difference.

It is my understanding that 30 days is standard for most stores but certain stores may have a lesser number of days, such as Target, whose time limit has been reported to be 14 days. It might be worth a few minutes of your time to research what the time limits are for various stores.

If you did a lot of shopping via Amazon.com this holiday season, keeping up with price reductions on the items you bought could net you a nice little refund!

You can follow Amazon.com’s price reductions a couple different ways. The first being a DIY approach where you track of the prices yourself and submit your claim via the Returns and Refunds Contact Form

The second and much easier way would be to use the Amazon Price Watch tool. You enter the item numbers you bought and it watches and notifies you via email if prices drop and you can use the meail link right in the email to hop over to the *Returns and Refunds Contact Form to submit the info.

I suggest you let the Amazon Price Watch tool do it’s thing for as long as you can prior to your thirty day limit (this might vary for each item if you bought them on different dates so please take note) and get as much price discounting as you can for each item.

This is SO easy that I hope everyone who shopped at Amazon.com will take full advantage of their policy and maximize your savings!

Merry Christmas!
