Hello,
I bought a jacket, in store, full price at 225. I have checked the website of the same store and the price has now been reduced to 180. I bought the jacket approx 3 weeks ago. Is it possible to claim back the difference from my credit card company?
Thank you!
Some cc companies do offer this service, though only a few. You would need to check with your particular lender if they do.
Have you worn it yet?
If you haven't and have the receipt can you return it and get a refund - and then buy again at the new price?
Some CCs have a price promise insurance thingy as part of their service. It's more likely than not that yours doesn't, and in that case you've got no chance.
Do quite doubt that the shop will take back a £225 jacket after three weeks when there's nothing wrong with it though... they're not obliged to offer a refund in such circumstances.
They might not provide a full refund, but most do give you credit vouchers to use on their stores only.
Why bother checking the price after you'd bought it?

I agree, take the jacket back, get credit note. Then buy it again at the lower price. You'll have some credit left that you use for christmas presents.
Remember next week you'll save a further 2.5% with the VAT reduction, so happy days :beer:
if u haven't worn it. return it and buy it again. ive done it plenty of times.
You purchased the item at a set price, you were happy with that price...of course you were you purchased the item, why now that the item has been reduced do you want to claim the difference? :confused:

Well it would save money, and we are on www.moneysavingexpert.com (http://www.moneysavingexpert.com)
Seriously though, some Cards do offer this kind of protection so its worth checking.
And if it hasn't been used I don't see anything wrong with going down the Credit Note route and re-buying.
I could understand if this bandwagon published a voucher code for people to use to get say 10 or 20% off a purchase, which would be quote "Money Saving" un-quote, taking the item back because they reduced the price is a little sadistic, I mean come on can you imagine the detrimental effect this would have more so on the small retail business if everybody tried this little trick? Don't agree with it and it should be banned before it is abused.
I once purchased a brand new car (many years ago before my money saving days). It was a Vauxhall Astra GTE.
This was during the recession of the early 90s and a few months later Vauxhall started offering 2000 cashback on this particular model.
You can imagine how I felt seeing that. Well I complained to Vauxhall customer services and they agreed to send me 1500 cashback because my purchase had been so close to the start of the promotion.
If you don't ask you don't get.
Well that is different Nick, big company, big item...they could afford to bend the rules for the odd customer, but small retail business could be bankrupt by this type of behaviour, what ever happened to shopping around for stuff? Oh I forgot people have lost touch with life in general, if they make a mistake they blame somebody else and go after them for compo, tut silly me.
:rolleyes:
Put it on ebay - sell it to some nigerian doctor who'll pay you over the odds.
job done:) \0/
To OP I have personally checked the website - that particular jacket is now up in price by 50 due to an overwhelming demand from an internet forum board members. Anyone who got the jacket at a previous reduced price are asked to return to the shop to pay the difference immediately!
LOL

I suspect that even those that do would jib at doing so after 3 weeks - there has to be some time limit on it.
