Will Target Match it's Own "Online Price" in store?

[mrzrich]

Had to wait till Payday to get my son a 3DS XL. Online Targets price is $165 but It wont get here in time. In store it is $199.

Any luck getting them to match themselves?

I've never tried, but you should probably just call and ask them....or see what it says on their website about price matching.

I know Wal-mart clearly states that they DO NOT....and they really dont, cause I've tried there.

Answered my own question. They will match, until tomorrow.

Holiday Price Matching: Target prices and competitor printed ads

We’ll match the price if you buy a qualifying item at a Target store between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24 and find the identical item for less at Target, Target.com or in a competitor’s local printed ad. Simply bring in proof of the current lower price and we’ll match that price at the Guest Service desk.

The original Target receipt must be brought in when requesting the price match by Dec. 24.
The item must be the identical item, brand name, size, weight, color, quantity and model number.
For matching Target.com, the retail price must be shown on the Target.com website and must be valid at the time the price match is requested. Target.com pricing must be validated by a Target team member.
For matching competitor ads, the retail price must be shown in the competitor’s advertisement and must be valid the day the price match is requested.
Competitor catalogs can be matched as long as the catalog displays a current date, retail price and meets all other competitor ad match qualifications.
Price matches for prices offered Nov. 22–24 by Target, Target.com or a competitor are excluded.
We reserve the right to verify a competitor’s advertised price and the availability of the item.

I did it with target.com. I was in mood and printed out info of item I wanted and did search for stores in my area that had it. I got online price and was happy. I bwasn't about to pay 9.00 shipping for something I could get at local store.

Yesterday, I was able to price match the 3DS XL at my target. My husband had his smartphone and just showed them the site. I bet you could also print out the price and item and take it in!

Good Luck!
