jakesmom Posted November 20, 2013 Posted November 20, 2013 I apologize if this has already been asked/explained....but here goes. So walmart Thanksgiving ad says 1 hour guarantee for the 6pm items. Does that mean I can go at 6 and if they are out of the items I want I will def get them before xmas. Or is there still a limit on items for people there waiting before 6? I just feel like there has to be a catch, and if i'm going to leave my family for a tv, I want to know the facts.

cab0ad Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 has anyone actually tried this? They don't run out of the guarantee cards? and what about the lines to get a guarantee card? I want the computer but I don't want to show up and wait in line forever for it. I am ok with a guarantee card so how late can I show up to get it without worrying about them being gone or cutting the line off?
Deal Grabber Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 I have been wondering the same thing.They cant run out of cards, its guranteed but i just wonder even if your in line between6 & 7 if it turns 7pm and they havent handed you one yet are you outta luck? My friend went last yr and got a tv no problem.Yes it was shipped to store before Christmas.Guess we shall have to wait and see.
santaclaus Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 My son got my iPad last year when Walmart started doing this. He actually got the iPad that night. He told me that he only had to stand in one line but he seems to think if a person wants a larger item, such as that TV, they will get a ticket in one line then go to another line to actually pick up the TV.
riven3d Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 just saw the commercial, it said as long as you were in line by 1 hour after the sale started you would get the item guarentee 1
cab0ad Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 just saw the commercial, it said as long as you were in line by 1 hour after the sale started you would get the item guarentee Good to know! hopefully it is honest!
princesschaos13 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) They clear the lines pretty quickly once the sale starts. Last year the people standing in the lines at my Walmart were through the line in a matter of minutes. Then people were literally just walking up to the spot and getting their TVs/etc. So I don't think you will be still standing in a line at 7. We hit a different Walmart a few hours after the initial sale last year and they still had pallets of TVs left over! Edited November 21, 2013 by princesschaos13 1
brynnfromtheblock Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 They ran out of iPads last year so we got the guarantee card ... We paid at the register and they delivered it to the store before Christmas ... This actually worked better for me because the kids didn't see me bring it home, and I didn't have expensive items sitting in the car while I did the rest of my bf shopping 3
suzy3333 Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 So, if I was to get to Walmart (let's say) at 6:55pm, would I still be able to get a guarantee card if they ran out of the item(s) that I want?

suzy3333 Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Awesome. I already purchased the items I wanted from Target at Walmart yesterday. I pulled up the ad on my phone and Walmart gladly matched the prices for me. Now, there is no reason for me to go to Target. I will just have to go back to Walmart to get the items that I want from them. LOL And with the 1-hour guarantee card, I'm hoping I won't have any problems. LOL

I wouldnt cut it that close to the time......Your watch and the employees stopping the line, may not be in sync.....
mtsuboy Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Each store was sent a supply of guarantee cards but can print extra in store if need be.
