Amazon pre-order price guarantee- Is it worth it?

[tinkrbel]

Anyone have experience with Amazon pre order price guarantee? I'd like to pre order True Blood(49.99) but it's currently cheaper at BB(39.99) but would like to avoid them at all costs.

They've refunded us before, without us even asking, when the price of a video game the hubs ordered went down in price after it shipped but we hadn't received it yet.

did their price match/get close to whatever the best buy/target new release price was?

I've been refunded before as well and never had to ask! In my experience, the prices matched or came close to (or were lower than) the store prices.

No. It's only against their prices. They do not pricematch against anyone else. But once you factor in shipping and tax, it's usually a better deal.

They don't price match anything. If their price goes lower , and you preordered, you get the lowest price. If someone else has it cheaper, they do NOT price match. If their own price went lower after you bought it, they don't refund the difference, but if you call , they sometimes give a one time good will refund. It is not guaranteed.. But they do not ever pricematch.
