Best Buy won't always price match
The So Cal Fry's is running a special on the movies Hunted and Saturday Night Fever for $6.99 each in the Saturday paper. My local Best Buy store won't price match because the price is too low. I called the the toll free number to complain and they told me the same thing too. If the competitor's price is too low, they won't match it.

I sure wish the MODERATORS would post a sticky thread on the so called price matching fraud. I have yet to see a company with a pricematching policy follow that policy - EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Pricematching policy by these corporations is FRAUD, plain and simple. They state that you can pricematch - but in reality they can rescind the offer anytime they see fit.

Best Buy's policies are all screwed up. They should just rewrite them all, it would save them the trouble of having to make stuff up when they decide they don't want to hold up their end of the deal.

Will BEST BUY refund the difference if an item I purchased from them, such as a television, goes on sale the following week?
I know their site mentions competitors but I wasn't sure if it applied to their own stores too. Thanks.

IIRC they will price match a "competitor's" ad of instock non-clearance/closeout price. They sometimes get loose with whom they consider a competitor, and they will want to call and verify if it is too low, but I have never heard because it is too low on a dvd that was not the big leader, they tried not price matching Toys R Us price of Harry Potter (9.99) using the cometitor line, but later said they would if the customer asked. Did you try another BB? Ask the employee in the movie area to pricematch, most of the time if you have the ad they will write it up w/o a second thought, especially if they are the young "non-corporate"(ie hate BB as much as most of us) type.

Is that some new Best Buy speak that the uninformed masses are unaware of?

yes. What can I say. I attack the things that make you look most ignorant. Well, you do that to yourself, I just point them out.

Actually, my job has probably way more policy and procedure than yours ever will, so to answer your question, no. However, you'd think any given Best Buy employee would know what the price matching policy is. That's like the 1st day of training.

Day 1: Breathing with your mouth closed
Day 2: Deodorant and you!
Day 3: Price matching

I don't hate Best Buy. I actually enjoyed the time I worked there, sans the high pressure to sell PSPs and PRPs.
I made much more than $7.50 / hour working there when I did. Probably because I had about as much sales experience as the entire media department combined.

Circuit City: They pretty much have a no hassle, price matching policy 364 days a year.
Wal-mart: Never had a problem with price matching. Go here first, if possible
