the self-entitlement is strong in this one.beachlover wrote: ↑I tried this, Walmart says they'd price match, but you ain't getting the gift card.

Plus Target had more of a colour selection.
If only stores would honour the spirit of price matching, rather than try to wiggle out of it. When they don't, they defeat what they were trying to do. Get your business instead of you going elsewhere.
I dont agree with this at all. The key is in the name "price MATCH" in which walmart fully embraced the spirit of matching when they offered you EXACTLY what Target is offering, nothing more nothing less.beachlover wrote: ↑I tried this, Walmart says they'd price match, but you ain't getting the gift card.

I agree in principle; however, the language isn't straightforward....slayerwulf wrote: ↑I dont agree with this at all. The key is in the name "price MATCH" in which walmart fully embraced the spirit of matching when they offered you EXACTLY what Target is offering, nothing more nothing less.
+1 - Walmart should change the language of their GC promo if they want to have an 'Ad match policy'geogolem wrote: ↑I agree in principle; however, the language isn't straightforward....
WalMart has a deal where "when u buy product we give you a bonus GC"
It doesn't say anything about price.. Just when you buy product you get bonus item/gc.
The point here is that usually the other retailers aren't offering the bonus so you would choose WalMart.. Unfortunately other retailers have the product for a cheaper price. WalMart price matches. Theoretically with the spirit of price matching they should still give u thegc.. Otherwise why buy from WalMart over the other. It makes sense if they price beat but I'm not sure they do.
I know fs/bb don't match bonus offers as per their policy...
That's too bad. One of the cashier even said that I don't think you will get the GC. I said Walmart's advertising said you get the GC for buying the Nintendo DS. There was no other condition saying you have to buy it at $199.99. I then got him to check with a manager. The manager who did the price override rang in the GC without any hesitation. She even asked if I want to take the GC amount of the same transaction. I said no since I was going to use the GC to buy a game anyway.beachlover wrote: ↑I tried this, Walmart says they'd price match, but you ain't getting the gift card.
