Why you can get back money on your Amazon Purchases

Whilst chatting with a friend of mine on the phone last week he told me that he'd made an amazing discovery on.  But one that they want to keep quiet !

You see, he was searching through the terms and conditions on Amazon's website and found this point:

"Amazon's prices for released items will change from time to time based on a variety of factors. If Amazon's price for an already-released item decreases within 30 days after we ship the item to you, we'll be glad to refund the difference in price if you contact us within that 30-day period."

Amazing !

So if I buy something today and next week Amazon drop the price by 20% then I can claim that 20% price reduction back in cash!  No wonder they've hidden that away in their Terms and Conditions. It could cost them loads of money!

But the question is how do you find time to keep going back and checking and rechecking to see if their buys have been reduced in price?

This set me off hunting around the Internet for a way around this.

It appears that up until relatively recently the only way that these price drops could be located was either by remembering every purchase you have made or by looking through all your email receipts line by line. And after that going to Amazon to find out the price. Long winded!

Then I discovered this price protection site.

All you need to do is to enter the item number, the value you paid, the date you bought the item (these details can be found in your emails) and your email address. The site will then email you when the product drops in price 30 days after you paid for it.  Then all you do is ask Amazon for the refund by filling in a simple form.

It's so straight forward I was amazed !

So if you fancy saving some money try out the price protector site and saving money!
