30 Major Retailers that Price Match Competitors (Some Price Match Amazon!)

What Does Price Match Guarantee Mean?

Before we get to the list, for those unfamiliar with the practice, let me explain what price matching actually is.

With so many competitors, retailers have to constantly come up with new ways to attract customers, from offering lower prices, coupons and promo codes to sales, excellent customer service and generous return policies.

But one of the best ways most small and major retailers use to stay ahead of their competition is by offering price matching.

With this tactic, stores literally steal their competitor’s customers, legally!

Price matching is a tactic where stores guarantee that they will either match or beat competitors’ lower prices.

So let’s say if you find a TV at Best Buy for $500, but the same TV is selling for $600 at Walmart. You show Best Buy’s price to Walmart and Walmart will sell the same TV to you for $500 or less.

It’s a great and easy way to save money, especially on higher-priced items. And thankfully, these days most major retailers offer price matching.

Amazon Price Match Guarantee

Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t have a price match policy.

Here’s what the company says about it:

“Amazon.com consistently works toward maintaining competitive prices on everything we carry. ”

So basically their reason is that they already offer the lowest prices on items, so you’ll save money by shopping at Amazon anyway.

That said, I don’t think Amazon always has the lowest prices. I have seen many products with higher prices on Amazon than at other stores like Walmart and Target. That’s why it pays to comparison shop before you buy, whether you check manually or use one of these price comparison apps.

That said, there are also many ways to save money on Amazon. For example, with these awesome Amazon hacks, you can save a ton of money on things you buy every day.

Happy Shopping!

So many retailers that we shop at all the time, like Walmart and Target, offer price match policies. Take advantage of these generous policies and save yourself money every time you shop by making sure you always get the best deal!
