Future Shop's 110% Lowest Price Guarantee

[smartcdn]

In another post (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/s....php?t=457214), I recently surprised a fellow RFDer that Best Buy has changed its 110% (match plus 10% of the difference) guarantee down to just plain old PRICE MATCHING.

That makes Future Shop's 'Lowest Price Guarantee' the best of the big store electronics.

I figured I should quote the entire text... (See for yourself)

Our Lowest Price Guarantee

Get it for less. Guaranteed™.
We will beat any advertised price by 10% of the difference.


3 great reasons to buy at Future Shop.

1) If you find a lower advertised price we will beat it by 10% of the difference.

what? its always been like this

Does that mean Best Buy will start price matching properly like NCIX does now? Don't think so - that's probably just wishful thinking

And I would bet FS will move in the same direction sooner or later, consistent corporate policy and whatnot

What the OP is stating is that Best Buy has changed to 100% only, no more 110

Move this thread to Deal Discussion.

Partly true. I remember the good old days when it was like 150% or 155%.

Anyways, just recently you could 110% BB vs. FS or
FS vs. BB.

Now, this means that whenever you find something lower at FS, just go there.
No need to go to BB.

Well now BestBuy has lost a lot of (RFD) customers. :b

[Kasakato]

Why was this even posted?

[nopn]

why are you excited ?

It has been a while.

It has been a while.

Oh - don't get me wrong. I'm not excited - I don't like FS anyways - usually poor service, unknowledgeable staff, problems PMing.

But I wanted to do a RFD public service since if you look at the posts, many people did not notice that out of FS and BB, FS is the only store with 110% now.

Given this, aren't you excited? (I'm still not, though)

You forgot Staples, Canadian Tire, and Home Depot.

Anyways, thanks for letting me know that Best Buy changed their policy, but I don't see why this thread was needed when the other thread already commented about Best Buy changed their policy.

When I wrote that post, I was referring to my earlier post about Future Shop being the only big-box electronics retailer that offers 110% now.

Yes - I know about Staples (office supplier, some electronics) and Home Depot (home improvement).

Btw, Canadian Tire is not 110%. It's just 100% match + 10% in Canadian Tire Money for a FUTURE purchase at Canadian Tire only. Heck, you can't even use it at the Canadian Tire Gas Bars...

Why start a new thread referring to something else that already has a thread of its own? Just making a post in that Best Buy thread would have been sufficient...

[smartcdn]

Why start a new thread?

1. Higher impact (more RFDers will see one or the other)
2. BB's 100% is listed in Expired Deals (Dead: BB....)
3. FS's 110% instantly becomes 'a hot deal' by virtue of this

That's why I posted it originally in HOT DEALS, but someone moved it to Shopping Discussion.

...because it's NOT a hot deal..

Jon Lai,

I'm sorry if you don't find 110% to be hot compared to 100% price matching.

If you simply want to run around like a fool and feel good for just PMing @100% basis, then be my guest.

The last time I checked, the price of gas was rising or staying high, so that would not be the wisest thing.

All others (except Jon Lai),

On the other hand, Thanks to those who appreciated my set of threads about FS's 110% lowest price guarantee vs. BB's new 100% Price Matching policy.
