Bought an item at full price, now 3 days later its on sale, can I get the difference

Forwandert

A little OT of sorts but I was on another forum the other day US based and some credit cards in the US will make up the difference if the price drops in a specified time period. Made me wonder if we would end up with a similar sort of deal over here at some point in the future or if there was a specific reason why they did this.

Boots do this

PC World were refunding the difference last christmas.

PcWorld/Currys do this. If the price drops or if you find another retailer selling for less then you have 7 days to get the difference (plus 10% of the difference if it's another retailer)

Or is entirely down to the shops own policy?

I had this done through Autoquake a few years ago; bought a car to taxi, they had one in about a week later that was higher spec, lower mileage, same age for about £1000 cheaper. I know that it was down to their own policy (30 days/1000 miles) rather than legislation. (I hadn't got the car plated by this point).

You can try it, but whether it works or not, I don't know.

Success. The store Rub-A-Dub in Glasgow (Music Technology Store) have agreed to refund the difference - £31.
I had bought NI Maschine (Groove production studio) for £360 (I had already done a price match deal with them, as they were selling it for £499, could buy it elsewhere online for £350. It has now been reduced to £329 by the company for the whole of July)

Very pleased!!!!


Also Urban Outfitters do the same, I bought a Jacket that was £100 in the January sale, then reduced further to £80 a few days later. Took my receipt in and they refunded the difference no problem.

all online shops usually do - as if not you can return it anyway if within 7 days. you just gotta ask
