Best Buy - should a price match and a RZ cert be a problem?

This week Ultimate Electronics has Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs blu-ray for $12, so I was thinking about having Best Buy price match, and then using a RZ cert on top of that. Should I expect any hassle from trying to do this?

I shouldn't think so; it's two separate pieces of the transaction. One is establishing a sale price. The other is using a perfectly valid method of payment. But then again, this is Best Buy, so they might have some weird limitation I'm not aware of.

Not really. In fact, the only thing that you are doing that would maybe need a manager's approval is price matching. The RZ coupon is not a manufacturer coupon, so it's not going to present any problems.

RZ cert should act just like a gift card, or like cash. It's virtual money, not a coupon. The PM should be accepted or rejected before it even comes to the point where you tell them how you're paying.

I've had it work once or twice, but felt quite lucky.

I've never brought in a print out, but they have matched Walmart's website for me in the past.

Should be fine price matching & using RZ certs.

yup. pm'd Walmart.com on 2 items, no problems at all. even did it at checkout and not CS. Exorcist Blu @ $23.96 and Shaun of the Dead @ $14.46. will probably do Apocalypse Now @ $41.96 as well.
