Awesome. Getting movies 4-5 days earlier

This is my first time using this service

Does Wal*Mart pricematch their own ad if its on the phone app? My ad in the app is showing Pacific Rim $19.96, but online it shows $27.96.

My experience with WalMart and pricematching is, the store will not match the online prices. If you have an ad, it should be that price in the store.

For example, if you see a movie on their website for $20 and you go to the store to get it, but it's $25 in the store, they will not pricematch. The did do it for me once as an exception, since I was able to show them that I could purchase it right now online for the lower price and do a store pickup for today. Not everything can be picked up the same day though.

If you have an ad, that should be the instore price.

Nope. They only price match ads from local competitors. They don't price match their own ad from a different area or their own website.

Here's their official policy: Our Ad Match Guarantee

At the bottom it states that they don't match internet pricing.

Nope! No 3D and we don't even know what the "Exclusive is". $19.96 is what my pricepoint is without a 3D disc and even then I'm hoping I can pick it up in the trading forum for $15-$16

yeah, it seemed really high, and it will likely be $19.99ish on release day. Early access isn't worth an additional ten bucks

Did anyone receive their copy of Spartacus?

chris_sc77 · 09-04-2013, 11:19 PM

can anyone wager a guess as to how people can sell these for so cheap secondhand for like $15.. maybe someone has gift card or exchanges unopened dvds for gift cards then gets them that way? just curious

For what it's worth mine rug up as $19.96 at the register at my walmart.

Britnasty · 09-04-2013, 11:26 PM

Bought the Pacific Rim preorder for $17 on the forum. Early digital on October 1st and you get 3 bonus featurettes to watch now!

ETA:

but then I wonder what the (SP) means on this

Schrute Farms · 09-05-2013, 08:49 PM

Yeah, I think there is a sale period for PR. I bought it for $19.96 also. Might want to get on it if you want it from WM at that price.
I have bought them occassionally on eBay or from a board member, but I always worry that their "sources" are people that tear open the packages in the store, or use other illegal means. I wrote VUDU to suggest they might want to have the preorders locked or something and they said "huh, why are you writing us? Write Wal-Mart." and then I got lazy and didn't do anything else.

Britnasty · 09-05-2013, 10:07 PM

OP, the One Direction VUDU preorder that is $19.96 is DVD. The Bluray is $22.96. I noticed it today in store, and my store had the Pacific Rim preorder --- rang up at $29.96 even though its in the ad for $27.96. Glad I bought it on the forum for $17

Or make them like a Game card or phone card. Not good unless activated at the register ?
