Comet Price Matching

Morning All!
I was just wondering if anyone has any recent experience of Comet price matching against another local store?
Through work I get 10% off vouchers for Comet but comet are £30 more price-wise against Currys for the item I want! Comet are £530 and Currys £500 so getting a pricematch would mean I would pay £450 instead of £477.
I know the Comet website says they will refund the difference if you find it cheaper with 14 days but didn't they used to match the price there and then if you had proof (and refund 10% of the difference?)?
Any info would be muchos appreciated

I did it last week on a kettle - did a reserve at homebase and took the reservation in for a price match (meant I didn't need to travel so far) so they will match there and then.
However I don't think they'll price match and let you use the 10% off voucher on top, though you could try it.
looks like they no longer do the price difference thing either.
We pride ourselves on low prices all year round and not just at sale time.
In fact we check the prices of over 6,000 of our products against our competitors every week to make sure we always give you the best possible value.
We're so confident our prices are unbeatable that we've come up with the Comet Price Guarantee.
Here's how it works: if you've bought something from us and you find an identical product at a lower price within 10 miles of the store you bought it from, we'll refund the difference. Just let us know within 14 days. You can't lose.
Our Comet Price Guarantee applies to products you've bought over the phone or online as well as in store.
All we ask is that the item you compare against is boxed and sold as brand new, in stock and available for delivery and that we can verify the price either in writing (for example an advert) or verbally (for example by phoning them up).
There are a couple of exceptions. We won't try to match the price of internet or mail order companies with no stores. Nor do we match against warehouse or mail order clubs or voucher promotions, either online or in-store.All the World is a Stage; and I'm going through a difficult one at the moment!0 -
The way I read it was that the OP buys gift vouchers for Comet through work at say £500 worth and pays £450, meaning Comet will treat them as £500 through the till, so no 10% voucher needed.0
