threedinvest Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Hi All! Does anyone know if you buy something at Target prior to BF and it ends up on sale on BF, do they price match, I know with regular sale ads, they PM for up to 14 days. Wondering about any expierience, as I would just buy the things I want prior to BF and hope they are on sale! :cheesy:
ZBM Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 They sure do as long as you show up during the BF sale window. I did that last year on a few items.
bugsette Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 mine use to a couple of years ago last year they said no
mamapenguin Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I was told that Target does not price match. Why would they change their policy just for BF?
TENIA66 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Target hasn't price matched here in at least three years, and it really hurts them I think. Target is the preferred store to wal mart because it's more compact, better layed out and only slightly higher. Not price matching kills their sales on black friday. Mine sales alone are usually in excess of $1000:cheesy:
caramel Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I don't think I'd ever get out of Target if they price matched.
jonsgirl327 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 No they do not price match. I work there and I hear it everyday that people are pissed about it! LOL.

Target will adjust the price on BF if it goes on sale 14 days prior to BF.
Gator Pam Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 Target will not price match, but the way you are describing it, it sounds like you mean price adjust. Target will adjust the price on BF if it goes on sale 14 days prior to BF.
threedinvest Posted October 30, 2006 Author Posted October 30, 2006 That is what I meant! Thanks, so if I see something in the BF target ad if and when it posts on here, and buy it prior to BF, they will adjust the price down? That is incredible!
johjstc Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 Target will not price match, but the way you are describing it, it sounds like you mean price adjust. Target will adjust the price on BF if it goes on sale 14 days prior to BF.And if they didn't price match I would return it and rebuy it, simple as that.
anne0867 Posted November 2, 2006 Posted November 2, 2006 And if they didn't price match I would return it and rebuy it, simple as that. That is not as easy as you think! When you return an item at Target, you can not re-buy it. It must be "re-shopped" back onto the sales floor. It might not be "re-shopped" for several hours. I also believe Target will not be "holding" any items at Guest Service on Black Friday. Target does not price match with other store's ads. If you purchased an item at Target, you have 14 days to get an adjustment.So, if you purchase something between Nov 10th and Nov 23, and it is on sale during Black Friday, you can go in on Black Friday to get an adjustment.

juanadeal Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Another Price Adjustment question. The video ipods are regular price with a $25 gift card with puchase. If I bought the ipod the Tuesday before, could I just come in on Friday with my receipt and get the gift card? That just seems too easy.
laurenlou Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 You should be able to. The price adjustment is for any sale on the item purchased, so a decreased price or an incentive.
iffer23 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 How strict are they as far as the 14 day limit for price adjustments? Should I even bother trying to get an adjustment on BF for a purchase from 11/6?
laurenlou Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Very strict, I work for Target. The computer won't even allow a price adjustment if it isn't within 14 days...
juanadeal Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 You should be able to. The price adjustment is for any sale on the item purchased, so a decreased price or an incentive.Thanks laurenlou! I know I could always ask at the store but they always get all mysterious about the BF sales.
AndreaInNC Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 And FYI to everyone .. my Target refused to price adjust for BF items last year. I had to rebuy and return every item I had bought in advance. I called Target 800 guest services (Customer Service refused to give me the number - I had to actually speak to the mgr of the store to get it) to complain. I was told they would contact the manager of that store and advise them that he was incorrect in not price adjusting my merchandise and I got a $10 GC for my trouble. My local Target mgr is just a butt-head .. I have run ins with him before trying to make up his own rules.
juanadeal Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 So I was in Target today and I figured I'd ask at electronics about the Ipod (just to prepare myself for a fight) and the 1st guy I spoke to went on about how they won't know about bf sales until bf and blah blah blah. He still doesn't believe that I could have possible seen the ad but he asked a girl behind the counter and she just rolled her eyes and said they won't do price adjustments for BF. Looks like I'll have to call corporate.

tlmtsl Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Not the one in Wyomissing PA. Last year I did that, bought a bunch of stuff that I saw on this site and then went in on BF to get my money back on the sale and they told me they wouldn't do it on BF, even though I asked earlier in the week and their check out people said yes. So anyway, I had to go get everything again, then buy it again and then took it to the customer service counter and return it on the old reciept, just so I could get the deals. I was very frustrated with Target last year for this reason as it made me waste almost 1.5 hours to do this and wait in their lines. Toy r us on the other hand, I had no problem getting my money back.
maggies413 Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 I don't think you can do adjustments on things that come with gift cards. Also, I know at my store we won't do adjustments on the BF items.
juanadeal Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 I sent corporate an e-mail yesterday asking them to verify their price adjustment policy for BF. I will definitely post the reply if and when I get it. I specifically asked about bonus or free w/ purchase items. We'll see what they say.
Haley28 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I have a question? I purchased the digi-makeover on Target.com for 59.99. A week or so later I saw that it went down to 49.99. I called and they credited 10.00 back to my credit card. Well, now it is on sale at Amazon for 37.99 with free shipping. I went ahead and ordered it, and printed out a reciept on Target. I want to take the one I bought from Target back for a refund. Some people may think this is too much trouble, but I really want the best price possible! Anyway, the printed receipt only has a barcode. Do you think they will refund me 59.99 or 49.99? It says this receipt is linked to the original purchase. I don't mind either way, b/c I will still get it cheaper, but since they don't refund shipping, it would be nice to get back 59.99! I just wondered if any one else has done this, and knows. Thanks!:)
maggies413 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 You'll only get 49.99. The refund will come up in the system when they pull the receipt, since it went back to your credit card.
kirsey2121 Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I emailed target hoping to get a reply about BF price adjustments and I have not yet.
wdwpsu Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I called corporate and the person I got on the phone said that they do honor price adjustments for the after thanksgiving sales. Although, she didn't seem very official. Work at home and outsourcing has changed my view of "corporate" from a bunch of suits in a skyrise somewhere to a bunch of people who probably have never stepped foot in a store before. I called my local store and they said they won't know if they will honor price adjustments until the ad comes out. They said they did honor it last year, but did not the year before. And considering the ad comes "out" when the store is closed (Thanksgiving day), that doesn't give me much guarantee. I emailed corporate as well, as an email at least gives me something in writing. Has anyone seen a copy of an adscan that doesn't have some of the fine print on page 1 cropped?
