taxes_3 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Will Wal-Mart PM with a black and white print out of the other ad? Or does it have to be the color copy? I only have a B&W printer at work?
dmmiller Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 If I were you.. Just use the ads that come in the paper on Thanksgiving. That way there is no problem.
starshine Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Yah no way will they accept a B&W copy take the ad!
mccabefamily29 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 When I used to work there it had to be the actual ad, and they made us cut out what we were price matching to turn in with the price adjustment slip.
Marcster Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 What proof would Wal-Mart have that you didn't just whip something up on your computer? http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Computers/computer.gif
bfknowitall Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I work for Wal*Mart and if a customer comes up to us and wants to pm an item...we dont even have to see the flyer we just do it.... we are to told that we have to trust the customer and if they do not have the flyer then we still do it.... but if it is over a 20 dollar amount we either have to have to flyer or if the store is around us we just call them and ask them....
inluvstill Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Our Walmart and Kmart have signs up that they will not price match from 11/23 to 11/26 on any ads. I was surprised to see this today.

shannon91c Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I can't get some of the ads for the stores I want to pm so I was wondering the same thing. Bummer.
crawfish Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 One of my Walmart's told me I had to have the actual ad, had to be the exact same item, and that they would not price match blitz items.
theboyzmom Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I"m going to mine today to do some recon...I have some items in LAW that I want to PM from yesterday's ads...going to do some checking if possible on what OUR store's policies will be on Friday...will let you know if I find anything interesting...
AndreaInNC Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 There was a HUGE sign hanging in my Walmart yesterday right as you walked in the door. It said Friday November 24 5am until 11am ... no hassle PRICE MATCHING .. show the ad, they match the price .. will not do rebates, blah blah blah .. standard stuff. This was a huge hanging sign that was not locally made. Did I say the sign was HUGE? so for anyone whose Walmart says they will not PM on BF .. I'd call 1-800-Walmart and complain complain complain. I was trying to get them to PM something for me yesterday from CC, and I had to go to Customer service. I told her I was having a hard time and she looked at the sign, and said what about our no hassle policy. I smiled and said to her, "the sign says Friday 5am-11am". We both chuckled and she PMd what I wanted.
LadyIzShy Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I PM at WM all the time. they never ever giveme a hard time. BUT I always have the ad with me. They will NOT PM % off any items.. theynever have for me.its the only troubleI have with PMing
hopeky94 Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I asked this past weekend at the Service Desk at my smaller, hometown WM where I usually BF shop, and one lady wanted to know which stores I wanted to PM with (like that would make a difference ), then the other lady snootily asked, "What day??" When I told her Black Friday, she immediately said, "No, we don't price match at all that day. That's our blitz." So needless to say, I plan on shopping the newer Super WM, about the same distance away but opposite direction! When I asked THAT store about PM, they didn't ask anything and were quick to assure me they DO price match, even to stores about 40 miles away! It will likely be more crowded, but I don't want to handle any more attitude problems that day than necessary! I haven't yet decided whether to contact corporate about this or not..................
taxes_3 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks so much for all the insight. You all have been really helpful.
tntfuller Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I would definitely contact someone in a power position if a WM won't price match an exact item. That is their guarantee! As long as it's not BOGO or % off or something like that, of course. I take my ads right to register with me. The cashier can do it right there. All they may need is a CSM to do a quick price override.
