I told you a few days ago that Walmart had updated it’s coupon policy in order to price match online sellers. You may have heard that sadly, MANY people have been scamming the system and price matching third party sellers. They would create false accounts on Amazon and list sale items in order to make third party pricing look dirt cheap. They then visited their local Walmart and bought items for far less than their value by price matching to the false price. There is price matching and then there is fraud. This was out and out fraud. Now we can price match Amazon prices, but ONLY prices that are directly through Amazon.
Walmart has updated it’s policy to state this:
We do not honor:
- Prices from marketplace and third-party sellers.
- Prices from auctions or requiring memberships
- Prices that cannot be determined independent of other items, e.g., fees, shipping charges
- Percent off or dollar off if the item’s price cannot be determined independent of other items, fees or charges
- Bundle offers, Instant Rebates, Mail-in Offers, Offers that include financing
- Prices that require minimum quantity purchases
- Clearance, Close out, Liquidation, Special Hour/Flash/Limited Quantity offers
- Damaged, Used or Refurbished items
- Misprinted or inaccurate prices
- Online price match is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico for in store purchases
- We will not offer rain-checks for items that are not currently in-stock in our store or Walmart.com
- Online price match is not available for Walmart One Hour Guarantee Items
- Walmart.com will not price match on behalf of Walmart Marketplace Retailers to other online competitors
