I went in to CircuitCity yesterday to PriceMatch Sam's on that 200 gigger. CircuitCity has 110% price difference policy. I don't care about the rebates since they take forever. I just wanted walkout price of $249 + Tax - 110% pricematch to sam's $159 walkout price. I figured it'd come out to same or a few bucks cheaper then Sam's walkout price.
The manager tells me that he can't do it because CircuitCity's price after rebates is cheaper. So I goto another lcoation. Same story.
Today I went to the third location on my way home. Instead of Price Matching right away. I ask the customer service girl how Price Match works. I ask her if it's based on the walkout of the store price. She said yes, she thinks. Then she calls the manager 🙁 the manager comes over. I ask him if say BestBuy had something cheaper then CircuitCity after BestBuys's MailInRebate then would he PriceMatch. He said no because it's after MIR. So i said MIR's don't come to play when PMing. He said no. SO I said, "ok, here" i give him the CC's reciept and the SAM's product price scan. He tells me he can't because CC's price is cheaper AFTER mir. I'm like WhatTheFvck? From what I could gather. If another stores price is cheaper then CC after rebate then CC does not PM. I told the guy, the $100 rebate is from CC not the other $50 that's manufac. And If I apply the manufac to Sam's also then Sam's is cheaper. (it actually wasn't, Sam's would still be 9 bucks more but I'd be playing taxes on l$150 not $250 so in the end Sam's would be cheaper, not that Sam's had a rebate., it wouldnt matter since I was only trying to reason with him) He said still NO.
Bottom line is: the CC's in San Antonio TX won't pricematch anyone else's rebates NOR their walkout prices if CC's price AFTER CC's rebates is cheaper then their walkout price.
CC is pissing me off. All the managers pretty much said that even if other CC's did PM they wouln't. I asked them aren't the policies NATIONWIDE. They all said yes but still wouldn't PM even if others did. I hated San Antonio. Now I hate it more. Gonna try Austin next.
