Unveiling Target’s Price Match Policy: Your Ultimate Guide

Discover a better price for an item you recently purchased at Target? Fear not—the store’s “Price Match Guarantee” could be your saving grace. We’ll delve into the exact process of price matching both in-store and online, along with the policy’s intricacies, restrictions, and exemptions. In just a few minutes, you’ll be a pro at this nifty money-saving trick.

Scour for a lower price on Target’s website or other eligible competitor platforms. While in-store, browse target.com to locate a cheaper listing for the item you intend to purchase. You can also explore alternative retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, CVS, Home Depot, Petsmart, Sam’s Club, Staples, Walgreens, and Walmart.

• Refer to this link for an official compilation of retail sites eligible for price matching with Target.
• Peruse local competitor print ads for potentially lower prices.
• You can even match grocery prices at Target, ensuring the listing matches exactly in brand, size, and weight as your purchased item. The quantities must also align—for instance, you can't match a single Gatorade bottle with a multi-pack.

Present the lower price to the cashier during checkout. Display the listing on your phone for the cashier's confirmation against Target’s price match policy. If everything aligns, the cashier will promptly refund the difference.

• Unfortunately, self-checkout doesn’t support price matching; a Target team member must validate it.

Call 1-800-591-3869 or initiate a chat via Target’s customer service interface. Stumbled upon a better deal while shopping on Target’s website? Reach out to Target’s guest services hotline or engage in an online chat with a customer service representative. Provide them with the listing link you wish to match—upon order confirmation, they'll reimburse you for the price difference.

Absolutely, you're eligible for a price match refund within a 2-week window post-purchase. Simply bring along both your receipt and the lower-priced listing to the store's customer service desk for validation by a staff member.

The lower price must be currently active when you request a price match. Suppose you're aiming to match the price of a shirt—you bought it at Target for $22, but it's listed on Amazon for $15. That $15 price tag must be live and active on Amazon's site at the time of your price match request; otherwise, it won't qualify.

• A screenshot of the lower price won't suffice—the discounted listing must be accessible on the website to proceed with the price match.

The item listing must match your original purchase exactly. Ensure that the brand, size, color, model number, and all other pertinent product details on the listing are identical to your purchased product. Even minor discrepancies can invalidate your price match request.

• For example, you can't match a 60-inch Samsung TV with a 60-inch LG TV.

Target reserves the right to impose limits on the quantity of items eligible for price matching. Ultimately, Target holds the authority to determine the scope of your price match. Depending on the product, Target staff may restrict the number of items you can purchase with a price match at their discretion.

• For instance, if you price match a laptop at Target with the same model at Best Buy, Target may restrict your purchase to one laptop instead of allowing you to buy 2 or 3 at once.
• If you reside in Hawaii or Alaska, price matching with other online retailers is not permitted. However, you can still utilize the price match policy for lower prices found on Target’s website.

Clearance, used, pre-owned, refurbished, or opened items are ineligible for price matching. Target's price match policy exclusively applies to brand-new items that are offered at a discounted price or marked down. Extensive clearance and liquidation sales are excluded from price matching, as are used, refurbished, damaged, or pre-opened items. Other exclusions encompass:

• Products sold online by third-party vendors
• Major sales or promotions from competitor websites
• Specialized purchases like alcohol, cell phone plans, warranties, and pharmacy prescriptions
• Price adjustments due to typographical errors

Yes, but only if the items are out of stock on Target’s website. Online competitors must have the item in stock at the time of price matching; otherwise, you won't receive a refund.

• Target employs a rain check system for sale items that are unavailable in physical stores. Target allows you to utilize the same sale price for the subsequent 30-45 days at all Target locations.

Target RedCard and employee discounts can be utilized for price match purchases. Utilizing your Target RedCard ensures a 5% discount on all purchases, even those involving price-matched items. Similarly, Target employees receive their discount on their final purchase.

• Manufacturer coupons are permissible with price-matched items, but Target and Target Circle coupons are not.

• Target’s price match policy does not cover listings from comparison-shopping sites. Ensure that your online listing originates directly from an authorized competitor website.
• Only SuperTargets can price match grocery items sold by weight.
