Amazon’s Secret 30-day Price Guarantee

We all know that most local retailer stores, such as Best Buy and Circuit City, have a price match policy, however, do you know that Amazon also has an unadvertised 30-day price guarantee policy?

How It Works?

If the price (before any coupon or rebate) drops on any item (sold by Amazon.com, not from a third party seller) within 30 days of your purchase, you can request a refund on the difference.
This isn’t about matching prices from other stores, this offer only applies if the price at Amazon goes down.

There are two ways to request a refund:

  1. Request refund by phone: just call 1-800-201-7575, extension 7; or
  2. Request refund by e-mail. Below are detail steps:
    • Go to Amazon homepage.
    • Click Help link on right top corner.
    • Click Custom Servcie
      Amazon Contact Us
    • After you login, click E-mail tab;
    • click Choose Order & Items button to choose your order number and select items.
    • Enter the price change detail in the text box
    • Click Send e-mail button to submit your request.
    • Amazon Contact Form

  3. Amazon will credit you back the difference normally within 1 business day. Its’ pretty easy and no hassles.

How Do You Track Amazon Price Change?
