First you have to make sure that it's the in-store price as well (they might miss that though).

Basically print that out, take it to BB, and they should just take it off what they charge you (no MIR)

I've only had experience where they dropped the price on something less than 30 days after I bought it. They just gave me a gift card with 110% of the difference.

Edit: also they count the price before MIRs, so for that the price to BB would be $80.

so in other words it would cost me around $80 at bb still beacuase they dont honor MIR correct?



still cheaper at CC then...

It is very likely they will not honor the MIR. And you can't just bring an online print out. You need a current regional circular that advertises the item. They will then call up a local store to confirm price and stock.

Usually with price matching it works like this:
You pick up the item in the store and bring it to the checkout counter. Tell the person you want to do a price match. The cashier will roll their eyes at you and call over a manager. The manager will come over acting like she's very annoyed and once told you want to do a price match will then roll her eyes in disgust because you're taking up so much precious time. She'll take the ad you brought in with you tell you she'll be right back after checking to see if the item is still in stock. She'll then go on break for 30 mins, eventually remember she had something to do, and maybe eventually get around to helping you out.
