Amazon $14 Blu-ray deal price matched!

[devonthedude]

I was able to get Terminator 2 on Blu-ray at Best Buy price matched for the amazon special. I recommend the same to all others, I also advise bringing a print out of the item online

So does best buy price match amazon, cause I just bought a home theatre system from them and it's 100 bucks cheaper at amazon, the thing is is that it's out of stock for 2 months, so I broke down and bought it at best buy it was on sale to, but if they price match then I will take it back and tell them why I am and take a print out or something. Thanks for any info.

Sometimes they check to make sure it's in stock other times they approve it immediately. I would go to the check out lines, they can do it there, dont go to customer service they give the most hassle. If they say they don't, tell them you price match blu-ray discs from amazon all the time. Being a rewardzone member doesn't hurt either, it's proof that you do shop there. If the price match is too near their "cost" they wont do it.

Their ads have been pretty spot on with Amazon in the last month, not all titles like the simpsons movie though. I bought that today with price match too.

What's the point in price matching?... If Amazon is offering the item at a great price, your not giving Amazon incentive to have sales if you give Best Buy the money for it... And don't even say because of Reward Zone points, because it's costing you on average 5% is sales tax just to get back 2% in rewards coupons...

Becasue you get go pick it up same day instead of waiting.

I though BB only price matched local stores(walmart, Target ect).
I had no idea BB price matched amazon Ill have to give this a try myself soon. Thanks devonthedude

not even gonna try, he just got extremely lucky.

No sane retailer will match Internet pricing, especially for low profit items. It's against policy even for Best Buy. It's "will beat advertised price from an in-stock local retailer." You have poorly trained employees at your Best Buy.

I got BB to do a online price match for target. The check out lady called over a manager and he was like yep we price match targets online price so Amazon is worth a shot

if anyone else gets them to price match Amazon let us know

You may get a dumb cashier to price match something for you but the actual Ruling is that the Price Matched Store must be in driving distance. ONLINE especially Amazon ar NO GO's. Now I'm not saying its not worth the try because I attempt EACH TIME and sometimes get lucky. Jumping on the comment why not just go to Amazon - to me it is worth it to get an item when I want it for a couple extra bucks, as far as BIG expensive items, Amazon is the way to go because of their less expensive prices.

You can see their stance on price matching locally to keep your busines but its not worth it to them to match Amazons drastically low prices and they know it is a pain to wait for the SUPER FREE SHIPPING (1 Week). IMO i'm just inpatient.

Maybe BB did it to save a sale. They want everything this xmas holiday.
