Here’s a fun site. How many times have you bought something last week, only to hear that you’re friend bought the same thing from the same store this week for $50 less. It sucks.
Stores know it sucks, so they offer a “Price protection guarantee”, meaning if the price drops on what you just bought, you can get the difference back. What the stores depend on is the consumer not being vigilant enough to know when the price drops (we can’t all be making weekly trips to Best Buy to check on the price of that camera)…
So, in comes Price Protectr. You go to the website of the store you bought your fun thing from, find it online, and enter the URL. The website will then keep track of the price for the duration of the store’s “price protection” guarantee period (usually 2 weeks to 30 days) and let you know if the price drops.
Then you can go into the store and get your dollars back!
Neat!
