Here is an example, I just bought the Barbie scooter for $23 at Target and on Black Friday I believe it is going to be $17. Do the do price adjustments, they are both from Target ads? Do you think I could go in and get a price adjustment on Friday? Does it say anything about price adjustments from it’s own store? Thanks!

They will not match everyday pricing, only items listed in the ad. You have to bring the FULL printed ad to the store, as well.

For instance, we received gift cards to Target and I was going to purchase a “Cozy Coupe” for our son. Target is $10 higher every day compared to Walmart and Toys R Us.

Target refused to consider matching those prices, unless there was a sale. If there was a sale at those other places, why would I even bother buying the higher priced item at Target? So I could endure a complicated purchase/confirm/refund scenario?

Anyway, ending my rant.

There have been a few transactions [so far, using the price match policy], but because the policy is SO very specific, it takes a while for guests to identify items which meet the price match. There may be much more activity as the holiday’s arrive.

I found out the process itself is not really as “guest friendly” at this point in that a cashier cannot provide the price match to the guest at the time of purchase. The guest must pay our price and proceed to guest services for them to review the competitor’s sales ad and properly code the price match transaction for tracking purposes. Target is VERY motivated in metrics…which I fully support. Target may have to re-code each cash register in order for the price match to be performed at the time of purchase…and that may come at a later date.
