What stores will refund you difference if the price you paid drops? Don’t you hate it when that happens? Learn the price adjustment policies of your favorite stores and get a refund if the price drops.
I recently purchased something from Overstock.com and then got an email with a promo code for 15% off. I went to the Overstock.com website and clicked on the “live chat” option. I asked for the price difference and $22 was credited back to my card. It took less than 3 minutes!
Amazon.com does not advertise a price protection policy, however I have heard from several readers that if you contact them within 7 days of the delivery date of your item, for an item that was shipped and sold by Amazon.com, they will refund you the difference.
I did this with a Kindle purchase several years ago and got a $60 credit from Amazon.com. Do you have a more recent experience with the Price Protection Policy at Amazon.com that I can share?
Some stores suspend or change their price protection policies during the holiday shopping season, so be sure and check with each store prior to making your purchase.
