Walmart Adjusted the Price Match Policy

Just as an FYI we thought we would point out some changes to the Walmart Price Matching Policy. It might make things a little more difficult when price matching, but it’s still worth it! These changes will make people be a little more honest, and that’s a good thing.

Here is the updated Walmart Price Matching Policy,
“We’re committed to providing low prices every day. On everything. So if you find a lower advertised price on an identical product, tell us and we’ll match it. Right at the register.
We gladly match the price in the following types of ads:*

  • Buy one, get one free ads with a specified price
    Example: Buy one for $2.49, get one free (BOGO)
  • Competitors’ ads that feature a specific item for a specified price
  • Preferred shopping card prices for specific items that are in a printed ad
  • For fresh produce and meat items when the price is offered in the same unit type (lb. for lb.; each for each)
  • Internet Pricing. See the Online Price Match Policy to find out what is honored in Walmart Stores

*The following are guidelines and limitations:

  • We will match any local competitor’s advertised price.
  • We do not require customers to have the ad with them to honor a competitor’s ad, but we reserve the right to verify an ad at any time; we also require the store to verify the ad if there is a difference in price greater than 25% from the competitor.
  • The system will prompt for supervisor verification at a 50% reduction in price or greater.
  • Items purchased must be identical to the ad (size, quantity, brand, flavor, color, etc.). No substitutions
  • In all situations Walmart reserves the right to limit BOGO quantities to one per customer or household

We do not match the price in the following types of competitor ads:

  • Items that require a separate purchase to get the ad price
    example: “Buy [item A] to get [item B] for $C”
  • Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get free product
    example: “Buy both [items A & B] to get [item C] for free”
  • Items that require a purchase to get a competitors’ gift card
    example: “Buy [item A] to get a $B gift card
  • Buy one, get one free (BOGO) ads with no actual price given
  • Going out of business or closeout prices
  • Percentage off
    example: “All mascara, 40% off”
  • Competitors’ private label price promotions
  • A specific price that omits a specific characteristic of an item (Example: $9.50 on “all sizes or quantities” of an assortment)

We do not honor:

  • Ads when the actual price for items cannot be determined
  • Competitor pricing on One Hour Guarantee Items
  • Misprinted ad prices of other retailers
  • “Going out of business” sales or “closeout” prices
  • Walmart reserves the right to verify an ad at any time, update or modify the terms of the Ad Match (Competition) Policy and its associated pricing strategies at any time”

I have highlighted the couple of things that we noticed they changed.

Enjoy!
