Does Macy's Price Match? Here's the Answer!

If you've ever been to a flea market the size of the Rose Bowl or Brimfield, you'll know there's a lot of walking, talking, and possibly haggling. It's not uncommon to spot an item you like and see that same item multiple times throughout the flea market. You're tempted not to buy the first one you see in case it's cheaper later on. However, you run the risk of having to ask a stall owner later on to price match the first.

At Macy's, they take the guesswork out of this conundrum for you with their price match and price adjustment policy. It's well worth looking into, especially when you're looking at ways to save on purchases.

Does Macy's price match? 

Macy's has a price match policy, which means that if you find an identical product at a lower price elsewhere, they're willing to refund you the difference if you buy the item from them instead. The caveat? The purchase needs to meet certain criteria. For instance: 

• The request is made within ten days of purchase. For Apple iPhone purchases, this deadline extends to fourteen days. Other Apple products have a price adjustment policy period of up to 30 days. 
• No coupons, discount codes, or special offers were used when purchasing the item.
• Macy's doesn't price match all its competitors and some are excluded, such as Target, Walmart, Costco, Lowe's, and a few others.
• If the item was purchased online, the ten-day period starts from when the order was placed, not when you received the item. 
• Mattresses have specific requirements when you request a price match such as a competing price difference of up to $100. Also, if the mattress was purchased at a second-hand store, it's ineligible for price matching. 

Does Macy's price match online? 

Macy's price matches items you purchase online from their store. This means if you buy an item online and see the same item in a Macy's store listed at a lower price, the price match policy kicks in. 

Does Macy's price match other stores? 

Macy's price match policy includes some other stores, such as Sears, Nordstrom, and JCPenney. It doesn't price match all of its competitors. If you purchase an item at Macy's and Amazon, for instance, is selling it cheaper, Macy's price match policy won't cover it. That said, it's important to ask whether the store might honor the price match, as there might be a change or update in the policy. 

What do you need to qualify for a Macy's price match? 

Whether you've placed an order online or bought it at Macy's, the service associate will need some information to process the request. For in-store price match requests, you'll need to provide the purchase receipt and for online orders, you need the purchase order. You can also request the price match on their website for online orders. 

Enjoy those extra savings with a Macy's price match 

It's worth the effort to price-match larger items such as appliances and furniture, especially when you're in the market for more energy-efficient items to help the environment. Macy's price match policy is generous and it's easy to find out which stores or offers fall within this policy.
