Last week I bought a Linksys wireless router at Best Buy for $69.99. This week the exact same router is now $49.99.

First of all, I could have swore this router was on sale last week (Linksys WRT54G), but I needed one and paid the $69.99 price.

Does anyone know if Best Buy will adjust my credit card for the difference?

Does anyone happen to have last weeks sales paper?

I think you have 30 days to match the price, although maybe it's different with electronics (might be less than 30 days). Anyways, might as well go there and see if they will, it's a $20 difference...

And you'll get 10% of the difference (2 bucks in this case but hey, it's free money)

I think it is 14 days with electronics.

Are they doing that again? The first time I did price matched, they gave me the extra 10%, but several months later when I did that again, no 10%... Is this on price matching when purchasing or after the purchase?

This is for pricematching after the purchase. I have been known to go to the register, purchase the product at BB's price, and then immediately go over to Customer Service and get the price adjusted plus the 10% difference.

I don't think BB gives you 10% when you adjust it to their own prices...it has to be a competitor price to get you the 10%

We all realize we are talking about a product I purchased last week and am currently using right?

they will give you the $22 back. Just bring your receipt and a current ad or proof of price to customer service adn tell them you'd like a price match.

iggy, the pricematch policy is in place to deal with the changes in pricing exactly like the one that happened to you. You don't even need to bring your router back, just go to the service counter with your receipt and ask for a price adjustment. No big deal.

Cool! Thanks.

If you original purchase had a Best Buy (not manufacturer) rebate associated with it and it's more than $20, forget the price adjustment or price match. BB would not honor their own rebate if it has been price adjusted or PM.

This restriction does not apply to manufacturer rebate since manufacturers in general do not care how much you bought their product for.
