Best Buy, Circuit City, and Fry's all provide 110% guarantees. The 10% is only for the difference in price though. And at Best Buy, the purchase has to be made first prior to price matching to receive the discount.

Circuit City says that they do it if you bring in a competitor's ad, but you have to remind them. If you just say "I want to price match," that's all they'll do. I had to go back in and make them re-do the transaction to give me the discount.

At my local Circuit City, they automatically give you the 110% PM on the spot, but at my local Best Buy, you have to come back a couple days later to get the 110% PM which is retarded.

They do that in order to make you jump through hoops in order to get the 10% PM Guarantee and hope that you will just say "forget it". It is the most asinine thing to do as far as the customer is concerned, and it is very stupid on their end as they 1) Nearly double the workload because now 2 people have to do the transaction, 2) It creates animosity for their customers. Not only is the customer irritated that it couldn't be handled "on the spot", but they sometimes have to wait in line for an additional amount of time. Customer Service specialists Best Buy isn't!
