Trick on Amazon’s Price Drop Policy
Jim at Blueprint shared his tips on Amazon’s price drop policy – If you have bought something and found out the price drops, you can ask for a credit of the difference within 30 days of your purchase. The little Amazon hack behind that is that you can still utilize the refund even have you have applied coupon or “Buy Both and Save” deal. Here is the example:
… Where this because beautiful, and I hope they haven’t changed, is when coupons are taken into account. If let’s say you purchase two Le Creuset pots that were $125 as a Buy Both and Save deal. Technically each pot costs a certain price if they were purchased individually (say, each are $99.99 which is not uncommon). You purchase them for a combined special price of $125, apply a $25 Kitchen and Houseware’s coupon, and have three hundred pounds of pot (ha, that sounds funny) shipped to you for $100 even. Now you find out each of the pots have dropped in price to $79.99 – simply request a refund and it will be granted, without any consideration to the Buy Both and Save Deal or the coupon!…

This Site will check your purchases everyday and send you an email if the price has dropped. In the email will be a link right to the place where you claim your credit.

This sounds like a hole that really should be filled in by Amazon. Possibly by keeping a record of per-item _actual prices_. In the Pot example, $62.5 each, so no refund would be applicable unless the price dropped below that point. (For items of differing values, apply the appropriate discount to each – no brainer.)

This website will track the prices of your Amazon purchases. When the price drops it will notify you. Simple to use and allows you to get a refund from Amazon without any hassles.

what happened to this site?

And does the pricewatch site send you alerts on any price change? I would like to know if the items I’m watching increase in price also.

So, I just bought a Mac Mini less than 30 days ago and it is now selling for $50 less than I just paid.
How exactly do I ask for a refund?

I just answered my own question….I had Amazon call me (from India). After they confirmed all my info, they said they will issuing a credit to my card. Awesome.
