http://slickdeals.net/f/3556244-4...et-for-298


Last Year, I made a thread like this for the 46" and for a 40" in 2010 for those that wanted to PA it. So I figure I should make this wi all the info you need!


Brand: WestinghouseScreen Class: 50" Model: CW50T9XW

DCPI: (008-09-0750


How to get a PA on Black Friday (YMMV):


1. http://sd.site88.net/t.html <----------------------------- Open link.

2. Type/Copy the DCPI and your Zip Code

3. Check for Limited Availability or Available.

4. Call the store and transfer to Electronics and give the person the DPCI number and ask them to hold you 1.

5. Go to the Store, as you check out ask them how many they have, if they have multiples and you would like to buy multiple ones, then buy as many.

6. You should pay around $600 + tax on the TV.

7. Keep your receipt and you can use the TV as there is no Restocking fee if in the rare scenario where they do not give you a PA.

8. Go back on BF and take receipt to cashier and say you need a PA.


I scored (2) 40" Westy's 2010 and (1) 46" Westy for last year.



Price Adjustment Tips!

-Remember your Receipt! As basic as this is, I found atleast 2 or 3 people last year that dont/lost their receipt!

-Just have Target's Price Match Policy/News Release on your Phone or print one out

-Head to the closest store and just tell them you want a PA and hand over the receipt

-If you get a PA, good for you. List the store in the wiki below.

-If you DONT get a PA, show them the news release and the policy.

-If they still say no, call up corporate in front of them.

-99% of time Corporate will tell them to price adjust unless you get a crappy person on the line.

-If they still say no, just head to another Target store.


Best of Luck to everyone in scoring a dirt cheap TV without waiting in line this year!

Looks like SD.SITE88.NET is down.

Also, I don't think the Target Mobile Inventory checker works anymore.

PA's are for 14 days only now, 45 days for return + rebuy for all electronics.

Buying in advance and getting PA this year will not work. Stores are receiving specific direction in our Holiday planning books that there will be no price matching or price adjusting for any BF sale items.

Target is said to be "sitting" out Black Friday this year, though. http://www.dailyfinance.com/2012/...d=webmail2

Seems like a sensationalist article, the same quotes are in this Star Tribune article [startribune.com] but they appear to be in regards to seasonal staffing - not the deals.

That seems a bit extreme... For the last 2 years someone always said that the Target Stores will pull the TVs but they never do. If you go out and buy the TV right when the ad is leaked, you should be fine!

You can get a price adjustment within 14 days or a rebuy within 45 days... I accidentally bought a TV 17 days before and another tv 10 days before... I needed to do a rebuy on the 17 days before TV. I just asked the clerk if he would just return and rebuy or if i needed to go lug the TV back... He just had a manger override and refund it...

I sold one TV for $450 about a month later. I still have my 46" in the basement... :nod:



Not going to happen. Stores need BF to boost their revenues on their 4th quarter reports.

Can you PA a few days after BF or do you have to show up on BF

Some people may think its extreme but that is exactly what is happening. The new policy will be posted in stores and available at target.com/pricematch.

Here is the new policy for BF this year:

Black Friday Ads are no longer matched for Target or competitors

To help ensure advertised items are available for guests on BF, Target stores will not price adjust items in the BF ad. This includes adjusting prices for pre-purchased BF items. Target stores will not match a competitor's BF advertisements for any items.

Target stores will be receiving in-store signing to support these price match policy changes.

That sucks, I pm'd at Target last year on some video games to avoid WM. They should just avoid pming doorbusters or something.

I thought that was their policy last year - to not price adjust doorbusters. At first they wouldn't do it at my Target because they said the T.V. was a doorbuster so they couldn't. Turns out the t.v. wasn't a doorbuster so they ended up price adjusting. I'm hoping it works this year. :drool:

Yes, last year it was just the doorbusters that couldn't be pricematched. This year it is everything in the BF ad.

Question for tourbound6:

What happens if a customer has the receipt AND the item with them? Under what possible Target policy could a customer be refused a return and re-buy (as long as they are in-store during the BF sale hours, i.e. before 9am)? I can see Target corporate attempting a one-day PA policy change, but how are they going to stop the valid return of an unopened item accompanied by receipt? Target's "no-hassle" return policy is one of its core corporate precepts.

Stores are not required to let anyone re-buy the item. Once the return is done, the merch is now back in inventory and technically not eligible for sale until it is back on the sales floor. All returned BF merchandise could be held off the salesfloor until the next business day after the BF sale is over.

I'm not saying that will happen but it is possible.

where'd you get this info from?

I have my sources. As the day gets closer the new return policies with the exclusions with be available online. It will say the same info that I provided.

I have my doubts on the BF "PA" debate and the unknown source. For years I have heard the same arguments, scare tactics and misleading information. All have been false or not accurate to the factual policy.
Now the day I see the BF "Signage" in a Target disclaiming a No PA on BF Ad, I will accept the case being made. Until then, I am not buying this "Top Secret Information".

Updated policy will be online and in-store soon enough.

Even if tourbound6 is stating the 100% truth, its worth the shot. At the absolute worst you'll waste 20 mins on black friday morning returning an item. At the best you will get a TV for an awesome price without having to wait in BF lines.

Sounds like a risk that most would be willing to take

I'm sure employees will be well-trained on their special 1 day policy :lmao:

I remember all those years that target got rid of the price match policy all together. Target does not price match out of the goodness of there heart. In fact i have done it many times where they really try to make it as hard as possible to do it. Truth is target only price matches because the loose customers if they didn't.

Now i can see them trying this. But the more you hear about other stores doing even more price matching this year we will see if they stick to it. Stores like Bestbuy are even going to pm to internet sites like Amazon and Newegg.

I'll support this clam as well in regards to PM'ing BF ad merchandise at Target this year. The above communication has been sent to stores already regarding this.

Target announced they will be Price Matching Online pricing from the likes of Amazon and Newegg just like Best Buy. Was not clear if they will PM'ing those online retailers BF deals thbough.
BF Price Adjusting: I recall the same hype from store managers, one I knew personally... saying corporate was going to BlackList PA on BF Items and DoorBusters. He swore I was goona get screwed up to 9am BF morning when I rolled in with my receipt and got PA'd by the CS manager.

I sure hope this isn't going to turn into one of those stupid threads(like it did last year)where everyone states Target's price matching policy instead of the PRICE ADJUSTMENT policy that is required to do this.

But, IF they refuse the PA then I'll return the TV or if they do in fact put out these things saying they will not PA then I will go to Walmart and give them my money this year.

Although I've bought a TV the last 3 years in a row and honestly do not need another. But if they have a deal on a Westinghouse 50" to replace my 46" in the bedroom I might jump on it for $300.

Yeah, unless you have no disposable income to put on hold for a couple weeks, you may as well just take the risk, if you get it, cool, if not, just return the tv, no big deal and not worth starting a hullabaloo over.

Getting in and outta stores on BF isn't exactly like piece of cake. Then you have to find a parking spot before and afterwards. Too much work and time wasted if you ask me.

If I know in advance Target not gonna do it, Au revoir!

You are correct sir! I misspoke... it is correctly Price Adjusting!

Meh, I was sick with the flu last year so I wasn't rly able to do much shopping at all. But it only took me about 5 minutes to get the PA done when I went to the store at 8am ish in the morning. Painless process if you actually need a TV.

I do find it a bit amusing(Assuming that these rumors are correct)that they are refusing PA instead of just making sure their employees don't sell the stupid TV early. It's a bit ridic if you ask me, its a policy that's been in place for years that they will refuse to honor for no good reason.

Its not just a single item or a few items that aren't being price adjusted, it is the entire ad. This includes lots of items that stores sell every single day. Sure, its easy to not sell a TV that is sent in just for Black Friday, but stores can't pull every single BF item from the floor weeks in advance.

I find it a bit amusing that people think stores should honor the BF price for doorbusters and such for people who bought the items in advance; it defeats the whole purpose of a BF sale. Stores might as well just tell people to come in on Wednesday and buy the stuff, "we'll just adjusted your price on Friday."

Always thought the purpose of the sale was to sell things.

But there is a difference between the store wanting ppl to abuse this and refusing to honor their policy that they have had in place for years.

Found this over at CAG so credit goes to litepink there:

Target B&M Stores to Price Match Online Retailers

Starting Nov 1 thru Dec 16

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/...2012-10-16



What this means:
- Target brick & mortar stores will begin to price match Amazon.com, Walmart.com, BestBuy.com, Toysrus.com, and Babiesrus.com for a limited time – November 1st to December 16th
- For the first time ever, you can price match from Target.com too (Nov 1 to Dec 24). You can also adjust a in-store price if something goes on sale at Target.com at a later date.
- Amazon.com price matching doesn’t apply to third party sellers, naturally.
- Use can still use your REDcard to save an additional 5% on your purchase
- Videogames are included. In fact, any item is included.
- Wi-fi will roll out in stores for customers to scan QR codes and whatnot, but will also benefit those looking up competitor pricing and wish to price match.
- You can use your smartphone to show competitor pricing.

Exactly. For the past 3 years I have done this and every single time there are those that believe Target will not allow it... :hug::hug::hug:

Even though this has nothing to do with this thread, I say its about time they allowed PM from phones. Like I carry an ad with me somewhere when I go out shopping. One of the reasons I prefer to buy at BB if I can is they usually are pretty lenient in mine to PM when I find a lower price and show them my phone.

But on the PA topic....Anyone able to find their policy on their website? Seems to have disappeared and I can't seem to find it. Curious if its still posted in their stores.

Try this link
http://corporate.target.com/about...mise#q1977

Checked that a few times....unless I'm missin something it isn't there.

We might see something soon on the PA policy since on the 22nd they're going to release more details about their holiday price matching so hopefully there's something in there about price adjusting too.

I just wanted to pass along the holiday PM policy so people know Target is playing ball this year. Here's the actual press release from Target's site:

http://pressroom.target.com/news/...day-season

This one time at band camp?

Just because the dates listed include BF does not mean there aren't exclusions to the policy. In this case, BF ads will be specifically excluded for PM'ing and PA'ing.

The policy hasn't been updated yet.

Good point. That was taken from CAG so I removed the BF speculation.

That is some interesting strategy, I like it.

It is nice that you feel that way. For years many of us more savvy shoppers have taken advantage of this wonderful policy. Target is "going" to sell the item at that price. So if one is fortunate enough to find the exact SKU on a BF item and purchase it a week before the sale, either by asking an employee to grab it from the back or in my case taking it right off of an endcap that was still on a pallet but with no price then what is the difference?
I guarantee there will be 300+ pages on this debate by the the time BF comes around. Some pointing out how unethical it is and so on. Like I care... How many people have I seen rush in and squat on 10 TVs waiting fro their friends and family to casually meet them at the register? I have NEVER seen a honorable Target employee say that was not allowed!!!
Never the less, unless I am grossly miscalculating... the "Warning" of this policy change is nothing more than what is already readily available on the web. On October 22, Target will Officially announce their Online Retailers PM Policy. The one abut PMing Amazon, Wal-Mart, Best Buy & Newegg. If TourBound is a Regional Manager or higher... I may be listening, but an anonymous "warning" for someone who "knows" something is like the years before... GRANDSTANDING!
I mean not to offend you sir, just voicing my opinion and experience on the subject.

I will continue to withhold the source of my information but I can certainly promise you that there is no "grandstanding" going on here.

OK... then will you please share the release date of you inside news? I would imagine if you are close enough to the source you would know when the "Official" word will hit?

I don't understand why they would put this policy in place. For starters, this isn't something millions of ppl do, it's limited to a few hundred maybe who end up reading forums like this. They aren't losing any money allowing us to buy a TV in advance and PA it. It's foolish to change your policy.

Secondly, the PM policy. There is no reason why they shouldn't be PMing their competition since half the time a PM is just a ploy anyway. Most items, especially on BF are specially brought in and are generally a specific kind of model number or an exclusive to that store so they won't even match it anyway.

So I'm interested to see if they are in fact planning to change their policy for this single day, but I would hope it would be more customer friendly rather than the opposite. After all, they want our hard earned money.

Looks like toward the end of the month.

First, if you think it's "limited to a few hundred maybe", you are grossly understimating. I can assure you that the number of people who pre-purchase the items for a price adjustment on black friday is much higher... slickdeals is a very popular website. Second, it is definitely not foolish to change their policy. You are correct that they aren't losing any money on that particular item by doing a price adjustment, but they are losing money on additional purchases. The purpose of a black friday doorbuster item is not to give the consumer a great deal, it is to lure the consumer into the store for additional purchases. The majority of the people doing price adjustments are not making additional purchases in-store on black friday (see all of the "I was out of the store in 10 minutes" posts), so the intent of the doorbuster item is being circumvented. I completely understand Target's desire to change the policy.

You may have a point....But looking at last years thread there was only 80 TU and 89 pages of discussion. So it's unlikely there were millions of ppl blowing through these TVs, even when doors opened they had stacks and stacks rdy to sell.

Second, these are not doorbuster items.

I understand your point about them wanting to get ppl in for shopping but my guess is that the ppl who know how to use this system are not the ones out there shopping and picking up random items that they had not thought of gotten before. Maybe I'm wrong in that but I know when I go on BF I have my list in hand and grab what I can off that list and move on.

Whether they allow the PA or not they will still have millions of ppl lining up rdy to shop.

But either way, my main point was for the PM. It simply doesn't matter and they aren't losing much if any money on PMing their competition so why refuse it? It will get ppl in the doors as you say for them to purchase another overpriced item.

Either way I'll wait to hear about their final policy and probably won't be shopping there anyway unless they have something I can't get anywhere else for a great price.

You can't look at a Slickdeals thread to base a conclusion on how widespread PA'ing will be. With roughly 1800 stores we are easily talking thousands of potential PA transactions. And not only does the store miss out on potential sales by shoppers buying additional items while they are in the store but all those PA's actually cost the stores sales for that day. Lets say you bought a $500 TV before BF and then the TV was $300 on BF. So you go in to get a PA and get $200 back. Sure, that TV would have sold anyway for $300 that day but instead of that sale counting on BF, the sale is counted on the day you bought it and on BF the store actually sees a -$200 on their daily sales. So that drives down the sales dollars on BF which effects future year forecasting which effects payroll allocation. Extrapolate that effect out over 1800 stores and the problem continues to grow.

As for PM'ing, Best Buy has already stated that they will not price match on Thanksgiving weekend or Cyber Monday so if Target has chosen one of their competitors to PM but that competitor isn't PM'ing, why should Target?

We shall see.... :nod:

will see the BF deals first then will talk about the PM issue.

price ADJUSTMENT.... :yummy:

Now lets see if my math adds up. Tv purchased for $500 within 14days of BF and a $200 adjustment on BF is $300... If the tv is sold for $300, isnt the bottom line the same. Isnt that all target cares about? Its still the holiday season so i cant imagine them changing the payroll a whole lot because a few (or a hundred) people for each store decided to do a PA. I'd imagine the payroll and staffing is store specific qnd that the computers would show the transaction was a price adjustment and not a loss of revenue for yhe day. Also i would imagine they would rather have a $300 sale (or give up $200 as you say) than to whow a loss of $500 when someone returns it. I would bet that's what would happen a lot if they stopped their PA policy after honoring it for the past few years.

I would not shop at target at all if i couls not buy early and PA. I would go to bestbuy or walmart over target but choose target due to the PA policy.

Payroll is adjusted based on sales forecast. Sales forecast is determined based on a number of factors, one of them being sales history on a given day. Sales dollars are reduced by returns and price adjustments (there is no way to distinguish a return from a PA...they are both money leaving the register). So if you have a big day on PA's (such as what Target is trying to stop on BF) then stores will show less sales for BF than forecasted which will reduce payroll allocation.

The bottom line for the tv is the same, but that is most definitely NOT what Target cares about. They care about their overall bottom line, which is enhanced by the additional non-sale items purchased on BF by the shoppers who are there to get the TV. They lose the additional sales when people do a price adjustment.

Exactly.

No one needs a TV.

How did we end up disscussing how much $$ Target rakes in? Aren't we supposed to be supporting each other here? I don't give a rats ass about Targets "bottom line" or their over head. Lets just stay on que and get the deals however we can. :)

I know of several people that PA'd during Black Friday just in 1 Target store alone last year. There was even a line of people doing the same thing I was doing when I was there. I highly doubt they were all slickdealers...word spreads. Hundreds does not seems like a fair estimate. This is not a secret...

Aaaaaand Target has finally caught onto the game. Their price adjust/pricematch policy now has a specific exclusion for prices offered from 22/11 through 24/11.

Looks like the buy-before/adjust-later strategy is a thing of the past.

Fine print note #3 [target.com]

Now is when everyone starts reading the fine print very carefully in an attempt to prove that they were right and tourbound6 was wrong. :) Meanwhile, tourbound6 looks for a BF deal on plates to serve everyone their crow dinner.

Not much else to add to this post :P

Generally if I prebuy a BF item it's at a competitor and just approach THEIR service desk on BF...never had any problems. But it does appear Target is trying to reduce their inventory on BF items being depleted early like in previous years.

:tumblewed:

Target worked out great for me last year. I picked up a 40" TV at Black Friday pricing a week early.

Keep your eyes peeled for those deals, the one for 2011 popped up online briefly, and lasted only for a few hours - I printed the page and got down to my store when they opened.... by the time I returned home with the TV, the price had been "corrected". If they do it again this year, you have to rush to your local store to take advantage of it.

Am I missing something? I didn't see the word price adjusting anywhere in the fine print.

If you prebuy something before BF and you come back during the BF sale you are getting a price adjustment and not a price match.

Even the header for section 3 says "Holiday Price Match"

You are correct, it does say "Holiday Price Match". However, the description says this:

That is the definition of a price adjustment. Typically, a "price match" refers to Target refunding money based on a competitor's price while a "price adjustment" refers to Target refunding the difference based on their current price. However, they have now defined "price match" to include themselves (as shown in the bolded section above). Given the following statement:
It is very apparent what their new policy is. I'm sure that some people will attempt to do a "price adjustment" anyway, and a fraction of those will actually succeed. However, I believe that fraction will be very small given their new policy statement.

I see what you are saying. Man that sucks.

The fine print here doesn't lay out the full list of exclusions. However, beginning November 1st, there will be a new price match/adjustment policy posted at guest service in every store and there should be more specific policies posted online as well.

In the new policy it specifically says Price Matching/Adjustment will not be done Nov 22-24 and the word "Adjustment" is in the policy exclusion.

I am glad you spoke up and corrected this. I was about to run up the BS flag. This "Fine Print" is nothing new and is what was announced a few weeks ago just not officially posted on Target.com. With the exception of PMing the big box competitors, it is still basically the same verbiage from years before.

Just to be absolutely clear on my position to avoid the fan-bois arguments...
PMing Target's own product/pricing is still not the same as PAing their product (which does have a set of exclusions such as clearance items and discontinued items). Several times, I have had to school Target employees at the CS counter on this matter and when a Manger gets involved and the transaction and terms are clearly explained... they see the light.

I am still holding out that the verbiage will still honor PAing on BF deals, but maybe written to frighten the masses.

I guarantee you it is not written to frighten the masses. It is written to specifically say that no PA's will be done Nov 22-24. It is explicitly laid out to be clear and concise to guests as well as give employees the proper ground to stand on to deny all PA attempts.

Also...this statement "Price matches for prices offered Nov. 22-24 by Target, Target.com, or a competitor, are excluded" taken from http://www.target.com/HelpContent...2|X0Y0W2H2 pretty much covers PA's even though the word " adjustment" isn't in there.

After all, PA'ing is simply Target PM'ing their own product/price.

Ya just don't give up, do ya? The intent is clear. Target wants you to come in their store on BF and buy stuff. They do not want you trying to dodge this intent, any way shape or form. Target can write policies all the live-long day and there are always going to be people who try to buck the system. Some will succeed, maybe. Most will not.

This same discussion arises year after year and always has the same result. Despite what anyone may say to the contrary, there are always people who are hard core determined to buy some widget at some store on Tuesday and get a price adjustment on Friday - even though every store on earth has clearly written policies stating otherwise. A few will succeed, most likely due to a clueless clerk who doesn't even know their own store's policies. Then these folks forever post on these board that they bucked the system and continue to make people optimistic that anyone can do this. When in fact it happens very very rarely.

Tourbound6 - it is the end of the month I am just wondering when the official verbiage will appear?

You very well may have it right.

Some of it has already appeared. Did you not read what I posted 2 posts up from yours?

Thank you. I read through it. I am disappointed as I was able to to a price match to a couple of small toy items that I had purchased last year a few days before Black Friday. Thanks for the heads-up.

https://corporate.target.com/abou...mise#q1971

Looks clear as day to me:

What is excluded from the CityTarget Holiday Price Match?
•Price matching items in any Black Friday (Nov. 22– 24) Ad (including adjusting prices for pre-purchased Black Friday items)

Thanks for bringing this up. I was gonna let all this slide, but once again I am reassured that nothing has changed in the policy of Price Adjusting.

CityTarget is NOT you average B&M Target or Super Target.You are comparing apples to oranges.

What you have posted, if current, validates what I have been saying all along. There is ABSOLUTELY no verbiage about BF Exclusions other than Online Pricing. At Target today I saw nothing of these"New Policies" Posted at the CS Desk.

All matches are done against pre-tax prices; guest is responsible for applicable taxes.

Now I have to wonder if you are just being obtuse on purpose, or maybe still hung up on the semantics of price "match" vs. price "adjustment", but nonetheless, you disprove your own point in the stuff you posted.

That web page says:
"We’ll match the price if you buy a qualifying item at a Target store between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24 and find the identical item for less at Target, Target.com or in a competitor’s local printed ad. Simply bring in proof of the current lower price and we’ll match that price at the Guest Service desk."

And then later it says:

Price matches for prices offered Nov. 22–24 by Target, Target.com or a competitor are excluded.

Which seems very clear to me, and with this, I'm done with this topic .... I hope everyone has fun on BF searching for TVs or whatever you desire .... and desperately trying to get a price match/adjustment :lol:

:lmao:

I apologize if this was already covered and I didn't see it, but: Other than wasted time/effort what risk is there in trying? If you are able to grab whatever BF TV they have ahead of time and they refuse to PM/PA on BF, why not just return it? I've done this deal the past two years, and though its a pain driving to a bunch of Targets there's no real risk involved in trying for a third.

There all being trained for the price adjustments for that day.Will they over look a re-buy that's not something that they do on a day by day.Can try both see if either one sticks.

post updated with the tv info.

My friend works at a Target store and his manager said absolutely no price matching Nov. 22-24. But YMMV I suppose..

They cant stop you from RETURNING the tv and buying it right back there on the spot. At all.

Yes they can. They can accept the return and then say "We are going to need to inspect the package and "refurbish the TV" and iwll be available for purchase in a week." And boom, you get owned.
