Just called them. They don't do it in store I believe.

Seriously? What number did you call?

 

[RockmanBN]

Amazon charges sales tax in every state now I think, so with tax its probably not that great of a deal as opposed to ordering one for msrp from somewhere that doesn't charge tax. Still, something is something, right?

Still don't pay taxes for Amazon in Nebraska.

 

[Josue]

Chat; I don't like talking to people.

Cool. Was the order already placed or still in your cart?

 

[FallingEdge]

Thank you op.

Price match at Target. Then 10% wishlist coupon. Then 10% tech/cartwheel coupon. 295ish +tax.

 

[ponziacs]

I just called Amazon, and they eded up crediting $40 to my account to make up for the price difference. This was for the launch PS4 Pro that I have pre-ordered. I had to elevate to a supervisor. They did tell me that it was one time exception, and I am only getting this because I have not gotten the discount before.

I've gotten price matches in the past so that's probably why I got turned down after talking to 2 people.

Oregon is still tax free iirc

Just called amazon since I bought it six days ago. They couldn't do any price difference credit even after the rep talked to her supervisor. I even said I could just return the thing and buy it again and still got denied :/

 

[Transistor]

FYI: If anyone bought it with a credit card, check if the card has Price Protection. You can get the difference from your card.

The person I talked to on the phone basically said "LOL OK return it."

 

[Geneijin]

Lmao whining about 40 bucks and how Amazon doesn't refund the difference. You were obviously fine with the price of the item when you bought it. Now live with it.

It's within return period. Why not?

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Well, that isn't the greatest....but I'm at least happy I got something:

I understand, well in this case, we can provide you the following, I can provide you a $15 promotional credit to that if you choose to return it and re-order it, sold and fulfilled by amazon, you will have a $15 discount, and we will also issue the fastest shipping speed available for the item for free.

That'll cover my $5 to return it/ship it, and get me $50 back in my pocket.

 

[Namikaze]

Best Buy price matched my launch PS4 Pro



they do not.

How did you do this? Just bring in the receipt? I bought mine at launch

 

[Marty Chinn]

Why are you paying money to return it?

 

[OnionPowder]

My sister's boyfriend is trying the 10% plus price match at Target right now. Hopefully it works as his original PS4 was fried in a thunderstorm after warranty

 

[fluffydelusions]

Thank you op.

Price match at Target. Then 10% wishlist coupon. Then 10% tech/cartwheel coupon. 295ish +tax.

Someone said this didn't work earlier.

 

[Experien]

With this deal, I could get PS4 Pro with 1 year of PS+for $410, so that is $40 savings....not too bad.

 

[Jamaro85]

Thank you op.

Price match at Target. Then 10% wishlist coupon. Then 10% tech/cartwheel coupon. 295ish +tax.

If Amazon pricing at $359.99 is a price match of Target with the promo like the OP says then this is hilarious. Target price matching a price match of them, then still allowing the 10% promo code that started it all.

 

[onQ123]

This will probably be just for the next couple of hours because they are price matching Target

The $10 is just to make you all feel better about buying the PS4 Pro at $399 with no game when they release the new PS4 Pro bundle with a game or at a cheaper price,


Maybe not but this is what I'm telling myself so I'll feel better about not getting $10

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Are people really surprised Amazon doesn't do a price adjustment? That has been their policy forever. Not worth returning since they charge a fee for open-box returns.

They told me they only charge for the shipping.

Still worth returning.

 

[Awntawn]

Thank you op.

Can't stack coupons on the website. Don't know if they'll let you do it in person

 

[Toki767]

Someone said this didn't work earlier.

It's very much YMMV. But certainly worth a shot.

Thanks for the Reminder. Purchased with Discover who has price protection.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Stuff like this makes me feel like such a sucker for buying consoles day one. And my dumbass didn't even set up my Pro as my primary so apparently no $10 Sony credit for me.

Ahhhh, such is life.

 

[FallingEdge]

This was in person. Asked if I could try and it worked nicely.

 

[Wagram]

Sweet. I got Target to add on the 10% wish list coupon on top.. PS4 Pro for $320 before tax.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Why are you paying money to return it?

Actually....I don't think I am now. I think he covered it also.

 

[Shizza]

Jumped on the deal. Thanks for the heads up! Now to decide on a HD.

 

[Wereroku]

Woot Just got my refund of the difference from Amazon. God I love their customer service.

 

[Gray-Fox]

You two already did this and got the $40? Nice. I also need to go do then. You have to go in person, correct?

over the phone works.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Well, all done. I just had my birthday yesterday, and got a few Amazon cards. Returning this, plus the $15 they offered, and re-buying saves me about $120 in the end. Wish it wasn't such a hassle, but I'm happy with the outcome.

 

[wtd2009]

Man PS4 pro is already looking like a good deal, hope this trend continues into holiday season next when I get one =D

 

[Spacebar]

I was gonna wait, but this is a good deal. Bought!

 

[Rocky Raccoon]

Amazon support can be pretty generous depending on the rep you get. Can't hurt to ask.

I have tried to ask Amazon for a price difference refund for the past 6 months. No luck

 

[AEREC]

Woot Just got my refund of the difference from Amazon. God I love their customer service.

ugh...they would not do it for me. I called their customer service and they said I would have to actually return the item and purchase it again. I'm even a prime member.

Amazon CS has really been hit or miss for me.

She is telling me that amazon shows $399 for her.

You all had no issues?

Consoles in Brazil are expensive as hell, so a friend and I decided to do a little experiment and do a "mock up" purchase at Amazon (we followed through the whole buying process, but did not finish it), just to see how much it would cost to import it with this discount.

This is the result:

Order Summary
Items: $359.99
Shipping & handling: $45.21
Total before tax: $405.20
Estimated tax to be collected: $0.00
Import Fees Deposit $385.43
Order total: $790.63

Welcome to Brazil.

I'm sorry

I used chat. They told be they usually don't do price matching but they gave me a one time refund for being a long time Prime user. Otherwise I probably would have also had to do the return and repurchase.

Welcome to Brazil.

Import fees to chile are 105 usd and makes the ps4 cost 515. Still cheaper than retail here, but not by much.

The worst part is that 790 dollars is still cheaper than retail in Brazil.

Unless you buy it from someone who smuggled it through Paraguay.

 

[Arttemis]

Awesome, just got $42.xx back from Best Buy because of this!

 

[WickedLaharl]

Oregon is still tax free iirc

same in Missouri. With the trade in price on Amazon for my OG PS4 i think I'm going to buy a pro now.

 

[III-V]

So BB claimed an error on their end, but said that they would send an email with the details on the $40 refund within 4 hours.

So I got the reference number lol...

Nice, thanks OP, Toki767 and Gray-Fox!

Thats $50 in two days.

 

[The_Spaniard]

Just got a price adjustment on my launch Pro from Walmart. Only reason I bought it at Walmart was because I had gift-cards. Anyway $42.52 back to my card.

 

[Gray-Fox]

She is telling me that amazon shows $399 for her.

You all had no issues?

no. she checked and confirmed the price. I said it was 359.99, she did say something about 399. Refunded me $49.00

How did you do this? Just bring in the receipt? I bought mine at launch

you could do this in store or over the phone. If you used a gift card or cash, easier to do this in-store.

Just say I need a price match at Customer Service. You can bring your receipt or they can look it up via order #, or under purchases on your My Best Buy account

 

[Rain City Gamer]

I have a og ps4, but I have a 4k hdr TV...

Should I bite..

Absolutely

 

[DarknessTear]

Amazon won't refund me shit.

Yeah, the issue seems to be that Best Buy Customer Service doesn't check Amazon's website. They check their own computers which aren't updated.

 

[charsace]

Trying to price match this on dell right now. Also trying to apply the SAVETEN coupon.

 

[III-V]

That is what she told me as well, and asked me to submit a screenshot.

I wonder if we are all talking to the same lady.
