Criteria for Price Matching
Time
The time you buy a product plays an important role in the matter of price matching it. According to the policy of Best Buy, if you buy a product at a certain price one day, and find the same product at a cheaper price on amazon or anywhere else a few weeks later, You will not be allowed to claim the Price Matching refund. After all, Inflation and other technicalities come into play.
Amount of Items
There is a limit on the amount of Price Matching a single person can do at Best Buy. You can not expect to buy 5 different things and expect them all to be Price Matched. Rather, you will get Price Matching on only one of the items. For the other 4, you will have to pay in full. A way around this problem is to call in all your neighbors and relatives and ask them to get products with price matching for you if they are not going to use the policy for themselves. Who said friends and relatives were useless?
Pickup Time period
If Best Buy has offered you a certain price and you decide to purchase the product. Then the price further falls at the time you are to pick up your parcel, In this case, Best Buy is entitled to offer the lower price that is available at the time of Pick Up.
