Best Buy Pricematched CC games. YMMV

[captaincold]

Ok just for the heck i went to best buy to see if they would price match some of the CC games and they did. I just told her CC had them for $5 and she didn't even call them, she just adjusted the prices.

Funny thing is almost every game that CC had for $4.99 wasn't on best buy's shelf.

These are the games i pick up at BB for $4.99.

[JAMMR]

Nice... but this really doesn't deserve it's own thread.

[Admiral Ackbar]

You lucked out.

[Ledhed]

Most of the stuff in CC's sale was also in BB's sale not too long ago. That's probably why they didn't have any of the games on the list. Sucks, but hey, you did get them to a do an insane PM without a call! Bravo!

[captaincold]

Actually this is a HUGE deal for me & anyone who can get it to work. Thing is i didn'g have a updated $4.99 list so i past on alot of game BB had.
I remember seeing a whole stack of viewtiful joe & dynasty warriors 4.

HELP:
This is a off topic, but i'm having trouble putting the picture of the reciept up. What'g going on?

[hiccupleftovers]

Bravo indeed, at least you BB does PM. One around me doesn't do it at all, while another always calls.

[Benaorn]

They don't even ask you for an ad? I have to bring in an ad to pricematch anything.

[lordopus99]

if that worked with a call or ad, I am suprised you didn't try and grab titles that weren't on clearance at CC.

[Nirvanaguy777]

where do you guys get the list of games that are 4.99 at CC so you can pricematch

[JAMMR]

N777 - The list is at the front of the "Official?..." thread.

Also, I recant my previous post... this will be a good deal because if CCs are pulling inventory that means titles will most likely still be in stock All week, meaning they can call and you will still get the deal... Now for the whole calling thing - I've been to BBs that have said they need an ad, so it really is a YMMV.

[weizur]

I was going to try a price match with my reciept but like you said they didn't have any of the games that CC did it was kinda surreal lol

You should try to get them to do the 110% then you'll end up with the game for about 50 cents

[Admiral Ackbar]

Great avatar Weizur. The dancing wizard.

[Kaijufan]

Weizur, you avatar reminds me that I have been forgetting to visit 8 bit theater since school got out, because I always looked at it during journalism.

[multi]

It would be great if all the BB start pricematching. You can get these cheap games and get a ton of RewardZone points! :D

[CommunistHobo]

On the CC website it shows some games as $4.99 so if you show them the games that are on the CC website maybe they will PM them. Just an idea.

[yeahokthenfu]

So has anyone confirmed this deal yet??
Also, another side note, I called CC.com's circuit city customer service and the guy said you can get online and then take the receipt to the store and theyll give you the difference its a shame that none of the games I want are on there anymore. If you do decide to do this you might want to call and make sure theyll do this and how you actually go about doing this, since all workers have a different idea about store policy.

[Thunderscope]

Does anything deserve it's own thread anymore? Thats the 5th one ive seen tonight...

[Monkie of Doom]

Little off topic, but can someone tell me what YMMV is? Freakin' abreviations...

[Dwapook]

Your Miles May Vary.. I think.

[wampa8jedi]

Actually, it's Your Mileage May Vary... meaning, you may get it, you may not...

[magilacudy]

Little off topic, but can someone tell me what YMMV is? Freakin' abreviations...

Just a little hint next time you're wondering about an abbreviation. If you put your mouse-over a highlighted term the definition will come up.

[Benaorn]

Well, if you show them the online selection, all those games are out of stock.

[dracula]

i always thought your mileage may vary means that to get the deal you may have to drive to that particular store that is pricematching without an ad or a call.

My bb will only pm if i bring in the print ad, they REFUSE to call another store, even if there are 10 cust service reps not helping anyone.

either that or the whole "report" is bullshit

[Gosha]

I managed to pricematch Code Veronica for the cube. The only reason I was able to do this was because I had my friends receipt for the game from Circuit City. Don't be hoarders though people, if your friend got a game you wanted but didnt' get, check out Best Buy with his/her's receipt.

[CharAznable]

I can't get over to Best Buy to take advantage of this.

WHY MUST I MISS OUT ON ALL GAMING DEALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KKKKKKKHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[Drakken]

The BB employee I spoke to said they couldn't pricematch without a CC ad.

Actually i took a pic of the reciept but i can't seem to load it onto the page.
Help?

[CharAznable]

Will a picture of a reciept work as proof?

Or do I have to have the actualy reciept?

[nyyanksfan20]

Isn't it supposed to be in the CC ad this upcoming Sunday so id imagine next week BB would pricematch. Unless if CC doesn't actually tell you the games on sale.

[lordopus99]

because there is so many titles clearance it probably wont list one.

[Reality's Fringe]

That's bullshit. BestBuy always used to pricematch for me when I had a receipt and were glad to do it (Cd's anyway). It sounds liek just a way to keep you from the 4.99 goodness. I can't say I blame 'em though.

[badmrfrosty20]

The Best Buy clerk is giving you a load of BULL. Since this $4.99 price drop is permanent, the Best Buy clerk is obligated to a pricematch, even if it involves calling the nearest Circuit City and asking them the price of that game on their database.

[CharAznable]

The only ways the BB nearest to me will Price-Match Circuit City:

1. An Ad
2. A Reciept

They won't call a nearby store and ask, and a picture of a reciept won't work.

[Benaorn]

Best Buy doesn't give me 110 percent when I PM hobbit, but CC does. The games that you're looking for are most likely out of stock anyway. Even if you argue with them, they can still call and ask if those games are in stock or not.

[dracula]

Ditto, the bb clecks always give me some double talk, they will say they cant call the store, but then they say that to get the game at that price the game MUST be in stock at that price at another local store. I tried to reason with them but whoever said that most of these games will not be in stock anyways was right, most of these got clearanced out at the $5 bb sale

[stormshadow]

if thats the case then lets all join forces! Anyone in Michigan area PM me and we can bring our reciepts together and get what we want from BB

[scuba]

best buy sucks they said the same thing

but since media play was across the street I tried it and they wouldn't let me so I tried "exchanging" the games and the let me :) so I got spiderman :)

[little_krampy]

Is MediaPlay pretty good about "exchanging" games? Never tried my local one.

[ksuwild25]

Best Buy let me pricematch a DOA: BV and a SWAT. I had the original receipt from my CC purchase. There was a manager that had to come in since the price was so low. They also asked me questions about the deal and photcopied my receipt I showed them (my guess is to pull their games off the shelf). Anyway I feel kind of bad now, since I told them the deal ended 7/11 and I just found out this deal hasn't even officially started and really ends on 7/18. I'm all up for great deals, but you shouldn't have to lie. :(

[Sigma]

Im going to try BB tonight. My dad works there and I know alot of people who work there so I should be able to get by with the prices, but who knows.

[Namelessloser]

They will let my price match with reciept at Corpus CHristi, bad thing was they had nothing but junk games that no one ever buys :(

[jimbodan]

Can someone help me out with the specifics? How exactly do I get BB to price match? I have reciepts from CC with a few games I want on them that I'm pretty sure BB has. I'm 100% sure the CC I bought them at is sold out though, does that make a difference? Do I just get the games at BB take them up with my reciept and tell them to pricematch? Or do I have to buy them at full price at BB then take them back for an adjustment? Please let me know how to do this, thanks.

[Nutts]

Yeah, same question as Jimbodan, but how does it work with an add. All the CC's I went to today said there would be an add in the Sunday paper. So if I just bring that to Best Buy on Sunday, what are the chances I can pick up a game at best buy with the CC ad? How often will they go to the extent to call Circuit City.

[Wario64]

Can anyone do me a favor and scan your full receipts with store, date, order, etc. showing for people who got Disgaea? I want to try and price match but I don't have any receipts or anything. The more receipts, the better

[jimbodan]

Can anyone help a brotha out with this?

[era5000]

For those of you who aren't sure about how to do the Best Buy Pricematch read this:

Goto Best Buy and bring your receipt from CC. Pick up the games you want, any of the games on the receipt that you have. When you goto the cashier let them scan in the games and after the total comes up show them the receipt and tell them you want to price match the games. They'll let you do it, but they will most likely call down a manager to approve it. Then tada you have $5 games, great for trading.

I did it today and picked up some Sword of Mana's for trading purposes (yes CC DID have $4.99 SoMs but that was for a very short time). Instead of charging me $4.99 they charged me $2.99 for some odd reason, which was even better!

If your local Best Buy is out of games you can also pricematch at Walmart and at some Targets.

Maybe we should set up another post for receipt trading.

Thanks for the info, my Best Buy didn't have any of the games I had reciepts for. Oh well, at least I tried.

[dracula]

you guys who have bb stores that will pm a receipt are lucky mofos.

I dunno why posting a receipt of disgaea would help(bb never had any disgaea, at least not mine). Tho there are plenty of scanned receipts of disgaea in the original cc thread.

[Wario64]

They charged you $2.99 for Sword of Mana because their pricematch policy 100% plus the 10% difference. So you can actually get games for like under $2 for the full $50 games. Crazy, ain't it?

[ngamer007]

Damn! This sucks! The CC I went to is 1.5 hours away, so I don't get a CC ad in the Sunday paper! :(

There's no way for me to pricematch this... :(

Someone setup a thread for receipt trading!!

[dmanko]

hey, sacramento people, PM me if you are interested in doing a mass PM this weekend or something like that. If we all go to BB with our reciepts, we might be able to get things that we wanted!

[sman113]

problem is if the best buy cashier/manager is smart, they are only supposed to price match LOCAL competitor's prices. which means if you bring a CC receipt from texas to pricematch in Florida, they shouldn't do it.

[S0CREF]

Or you could edit the reciept in a program like phtoshop with your local store info. But that is doing a bit much and going a bit far heh.

[drfrielgood]

Good luck finding a Best Buy that carries Disgaea.

[Richter]

They charged you $2.99 for Sword of Mana because their pricematch policy 100% plus the 10% difference. So you can actually get games for like under $2 for the full $50 games. Crazy, ain't it?but SoM wasnt $5 o.O

unless this is an extreme case of YMMV

[Wario64]

Anyone have any scans of receipts with Disgaea on it? My Fry's Electronics has about 7 copies and I totally want to price match it

[redrobot]

Best buy price matched Pirates of the Carribean, Secret Weapons, and Tenchu for me. The guy in the videogames section even asked the manager and he said it was cool.

And if the employee who helped me out reads this, thanks a ton! I hope you pricematched some good ones for yourself.

[Namelessloser]

Does anyone have a reciept with Tenchu on it?

[SoulEdgeVII]

Now if I'm right about the Circuit City higher ups being greedy corporate pigs, I think that in their Sunday ad they will list most of the higher profile games like your Viewtiful Joes and Medal of Honors and Lord of the Rings. If they do this, Best Buy and other stores that price match will definitely take a hit as policy is policy. Let's face it, since the sale info was leaked out ealry, they've sold out most of their games and the purpose of the ad is probably to just attract regular ass gamers to their stores in order to get rid of the rest of the Havens. I'm positive Circuit City will of course have "titles may vary" printed in size one font on the bottom of the ad but here's hoping Circuit City hates competition enough to name some of the better games in their ads. My Best Buy is fully stocked and ready for price matching.

[Kevtones]

how about best EBGAMES price match, check out list badboy receipt:

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v344/Kevtones/RECIEPT.jpg

[lordopus99]

again like I said most likely your pal that works there will be in trouble for what he did. Most likely being fired. EB is not supposed to price match let alone price match a clearance sale without calling...

[dracula]

kev, most likely they will just garnish that employees wages, you arent ripping off 185 from ebgames, you are robbing 185 from that ebgames employee. Way to work the system tho.

[Minger]

dude...i should print out that scan, but i'm a xbox owner...decisions decisions...

[ngamer007]

I saved some of those receipts. If I just print out that receipt on my printer, aren't they just going to show me the door? I mean, it's printed on an 8.5x11 piece of printer paper...

Will they really accept this?

(Does anyone have a receipt with any of these: Panzer Dragoon: Orta, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Tactics Ogre, Ikaruga, Skies Of Arcadia: Legends, Morrowind (GOTY Edition), Shenmue 2)

except you forget that these ads are printed weeks in advance. So the purpose of the ad is still the same, to draw EVERYONE into the sale. The sale was leaked only a week in advance so there really is nothing CC corporate can do about it.

[KEYSER SOZE]

HEY, im new to these forums and have been doing this stuff forever I talked with Best Buy and someone in here said they got a pricematch with a phone call on some of the CC games, most Best Buys will ask for an AD or you CAN USE A COPY of a reciept!!! If some of you guys would be nice enough to post your reciepts that would be such a help.....good hunting!!

This would help us find Hard to Find games and help each other out!

I need a reciept that has Secret Weapons over Normany and/or Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and/or Morrowwind GOTY

[CTLesq]

Can anyone explain to me why you would want a price match from anywhere after you buy these games?

Is the idea to get a second copy and sell them on ebay?

[SoulEdgeVII]

The idea is to post the receipt so that people that didn't or couldn't get the games at CC can get them at BB.

[shipwreck]

I can't believe there are that many Best Buy's out there that are going to honor copies of receipts from Circuit City's across the nation without even calling to see if it is in stock at Circuit City. More power to you though, if you can get this to work.

[gsr]

check that..you can forget my request

best buy doesn't even carry most of the games i'm looking for..they discontinued Viewtiful Joe..wtf?

There is no need to be an ass. I was agreeing with you.

Further, given the general terms of most companies for price matching, IE the store they are price matching has to be within a certain gepgraphic distance from where they are located I simply doubt this will work, and as such makes no sense to me.

[dracula]

You know what store sucks...EB. They wouldn't even pricematch their own internet price...I had printed out the 9.99 Counterstrike and 4.99 Dave Mirra (both when they were still instock) and the guys like uhhh we don't pricematch from internet retailers...I'm like its your own fricking store you incomp!!

Getting upset at a store clerk for a company policy over which they have no control -- priceless.

[btantra]

I went to Best Buy today to Price Match a PS2 game: Spongebob Squarepants: Battle Bikini Bottom. It rang up $39.99 and I showed them my circuit city receipt that says it's $4.99. The clerk had to call the manager and even then the manager said NO, because:

1. The price difference is $35, which is huge
2. Your Circuit City receipt is a reprint of the customer copy, not the original receipt.

I was a little upset, so I asked the manager if she will honor other games (Wheel of Fortune and Max Payne) which had less price difference AND I have the original receipt for them.

She was thinking for a while looking for excuses not to honor the price match, but eventually gave up. So, I got Wheel of Fortune and Max Payne (GBA) for $4.99 each -- not 110% price guarantee.




Then, I went to Walmart asking for a price match for Spongebob, but the manager doesn't honor price match for clearance item. So... There.

[Strider Turbulence]

I'm not sure about this but I don't think Best Buy and most other retail stores will PM an item that is on Cleareance. If that's true then the ad may not do much unless the key word is overlooked.

A better question is how did he double post 7 minutes apart...

[lordopus99]

not 110% price guarantee.

consider yourself lucky enough to get them down 15 dollars.
as for the spongebob, why not try to go to CC and ask someone to make a new receipt. Say something like my cousin sent me this game and forgot to send the receipt but he gave me the receipt number, could you print me one please? It's worth a shot.

[Skylander7]

BB pricematched DOA Volleyball and Weapons over Normandy for me. They don't have anything in stock though. However.. they DID call Circuit City (I'm glad they forgot to ask if there were any in stock). I got lucky

[KEYSER SOZE]

I called CC corporate yesterday and asked since the sale was leaked over the internet will you still be releasing a flyer this sun with the advertized sale....he didnt know but he said an e-mail was sent out yesterday to all CC to put out the July 11th 4.99 games due to the leak....so as far as a PM goes it is all gonna depend on that friggin flyer comin out on sun!! Otherwise the whole leak thing ruined any and all chances we had of a PM! :evil:

[abreed]

Anyone try to just walk in there and say this game is $5 at CC, go ahead and call them and ask, without having any recipts??

[Discofunkyboy]

At the Wal Mart near my they did a price match. The lady called Circuit City and they told her that Dead or Alive Volleybally was on their list of items they did carry. The lady at Wal-Mart let me have if for just 4.99. She said as long as it's not bogo then they compare prices. I do believe this is ymmv. Just call before you go.

My Wal-mart wouldnt even match prices on a $2 cheaper cd from cc, let alone a 4.99 game...

[era5000]

The printed reciept can work. I tried it with one of the reciepts here and I ended up pricematching Mega Man X7 for $5. You only need a copy of the reciept and if they don't believe you tell them to call the store number from where the reciept was printed from.

[era5000]

Richter SoM was $5.00 I got it for that price, it isn't any more though. If you want a copy of the reciept to price match I will see if I can scan it. Since you've been so nice to give some of your reciepts online.

[dracula]

i may actually try this, not at bb but i will bring in the CC weekly ad (which is out this afternoon) which states "$5 games" and bring in my disgaea $5 receipt WITH the ad to try to get another disgaea for $5. That would be sweet.

[Benaorn]

It depend on the employee. If you geta new one, it may work, but if you get a not so nice one and even if they call the games have to be in stock for any PM.

Anyone have receipt with Secret Weapons or Disgaea? (apologies if it's been posted already, I just had a few seconds to scan the threads before I leave for work).

[SoulEdgeVII]

I doubt anyone will find anything good that is restocked but what about pricematching with the ad? Any luck?

[drfrielgood]

Best Buy still carries Secret Weapons Over Normandy, but not Disgaea.

[Wario64]

I'm not gonna price match at Best Buy, gonna try at Fry's. They have 7+ copies of Disgaea last time I checked

[Mookyjooky]

One more time for all the lame assholes.

BB, Sears, Toys R us...all those places that price match...

Newsflash - THEY DONT PRICEMATCH CLEARANCE ITEMS.

Cant you just be happy with the killer deal? Why do you have to make a new employee possibly lose his job for this? Not all companies can afford to pricematch clearance items. Best But might of bought they're Disgaeas for 23.99 amd Circuit City could of for 10.99. Why put yourself in a position where employees will start hiding games from you? Just be happy with the Circuit City deal and be done with it.

[jdirtybird32]

Yeah, and good luck getting CC's crappy add price matched anywhere, it's just a stupid little bubble that says $4.99 video games. Not any pics or list, also at least at my CC theres a sign in the bin of $4.99 sports games, since they haven't had any of the listed games from last Saturday thru today :( that says Titles May Vary. Just wait til next Sunday when they all magically have multiples of these games we're looking for.

[Richter]

YMMV, some one i know (online) got TRU to PM him twice, both times successful

Wow, calling us assholes now. This should be grounds for a ban. And you can't really forsee anyone getting fired just because of a pricematch? I guess you should tell people to quit trying to price match at Best Buy and using the GGC at the same time cause we would be risking getting the employee fired.

[Dok Diamond]

anyone got a receipt i can use?

I was going to try Walmart, they don't call, and the ones around here don't really care when it comes to stuff like that...hell, you barely need a receipt for returns. But hey, we appreciate being called assholes. I guess that makes every CAG on the site who takes advantage of pricematches a lame asshole.

[yeldarb367]

How many people have gotten a scan of someone else's receipt PMed? I don't think I can stretch my luck that far. Maybe I can get another copy of a game using my reciept. Or maybe they would call CC to PM another game and forget to ask if it's in stock. This is all YMMV. Congrats to those who get it to work. I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble though.

[GundamFan]

Yea I was thinking bout price matching toys r us for disgaea with a receipt i saw but it said the store was in Illinois. I doubt I could get a pm with that.

[akilshohen]

Try a BB that's close to a CC. Most of the CC around me are usually next door to a CC, so they usually know the prices of things offhand.

[joeposh]

The Best Buy in Savanah has to have the SADDEST GC section I've ever seen... (and BB's are notoriously understocked when it comes to GC games in my experience)... they had perhaps a dozen titles, nothing that wasn't a blockbuster, PC or a first party game... with the noted exception of the crap that is Road Trip... So I didn't even get the chance to PM anything I bought since they don't carry it!

A. I'm only calling out the "Lame Assholes"....are you one? You maybe.
B. If this is grounds for a ban, than that is just sad.
C. People do get fired for people like you praying on the new employee thinking maybe he doesnt know the rules well enough. Seen it happen before. Price matching as much as you probably do....you would know that Pricematching Clearanced items is against company policy. Pricematching is great...but dont let it get out of hand cause you want to screw some guy out of a job or get banned from a store because your too greedy. It was a great deal at Circuit City, but its pretty much over now...let it go.
D. Not to mention major stores only price match when the other store has it in stock...so in that case just go to the other store.
E. I never told anyone not to pricematch, you're putting words in my mouth...I just think its pretty lame that this thread was started to screw the system. It's cool when your screwing big corprate types Im sure....but the middleman always gets screwed as well.
F. As far as the coupons go...thats free game. It's not against company policy...
G. Remember, kids.... "Just cause you CAN get away with something, doesnt always mean you SHOULD.

Might be. I just might be....I mean...giving advice to give cheapassgamer a good name, instead of the people who fuck the system to get what they want.

I managed to take RE: CVX (bought @ CC for $5), remove the price tag (That was a BIG pain in the ass), and return it @ Wal-Mart (w/o a reciept) for credit toward "Mario Kart: Double Dash!" for GC.

Yes, I paid $10 more, as MK:DD was marked @ $50, and yes, I guess that makes me a thief. Oh well, that's what I did.

Anyway, I paid a total of $15 plus tax for MK:DD, thanks to CC!

I will probably BURN IN HELL later,... but for now, I'll be playing MK:DD.

[MixMasta]

I had a THPS3 from the CC deal and I took the price tag off cleanly and then I went to Best Buy and took one of their price tags and put it on the box and then I went to exchange it for another PH but the lady was all shady and she wanted my drivers license and I don't have one so I didn't get it. I have a feeling that BB had been scammed a few too many times this past week by CC hoarders.

i don't really care that you did that, but there is no reason why you need to come here and tell everyone about it, since you obviously know it will most likely stir up even more needless argument (as if there hasn't been enough of it lately).

i don't post here every time i have a BM. there are some things you should just keep to yourself.

[trunks982]

do they pricematch the receipts from last week or from a month ago? how many days long they wont pricematch items? a year? a month?

[Wario64]

If you wish to purchase a game, the price match has to occur while the price is still effective. If you purchased an item and wish to do a price match, it has to be within 30 days

The places usually always ask for ID if you don't have a receipt. My friend tried to exchange La Pucelle Tactics (he bought it for $20 at Target) for credit at Wal-Mart but he said it came up as "not found" and they wouldn't accept it. Despite the fact they have it online. I couldn't help but chuckle a little, but I'd never seen that happen.....

No Mookie doesn't know his ass from his elbow about politics but he certainly is NOT an ass.

[Mookyjooky]

Im just a liberal hippie douche at heart with the politics thing...as far as taking back games that you bought for $5 bucks and taking it back to wal-mart...You know whats right and wrong...

children push limits in life to see what they can get...are you still in that faze? If so thats pretty sad...Enjoy Mario Kart...but remember everyone gets they're turn.

[Vampire Beatnik]

Why don't we just put aside the flames and get back to what everyone's here for...being cheapasses? Mooky, for my part, I'm sorry for any misunderstandings, I was in the middle of a long weekend with too little sleep.

[Mookyjooky]

Yea....arguing on the internet is retarded.

Ok,I'm done with this...lets just go back to being cheapasses..

[yeldarb367]

I tried to PM Mario Party 4 at BB today with no luck. I got up to the counter and the guy seemed like he would do it. Then he scanned the game and noticed there was a $45 price difference. The look on his face was great. Of course he then called CC, checked on the stock, and they were out. No PM. Are Walmart and TRU more flexible when it comes to PMing? I might try them just for fun.

[johnnyoski]

Did you have a copy of the scanned receipt ? I was going to try doing that too but figured they would probably call to see if the product was in stock at any CC before matching the price.

The WalMarts I've dealt with have always been more flexible with pricematching. I don't think they've called once to check on stock. You could always go to a SuperCenter at night once CC closes though to make sure :) (or just a walmart open later than your CC). I checked both in town, but no Disgaea to be found. I don't think there's a copy in the whole damn town. And I don't think there was before the CC clearance, either.

[yeldarb367]

I have the original reciept but I wanted some copies for friends or for fellow CAGers. I will try Walmart sometime soon. I like the idea of going after CC closes.

[yeldarb367]

I went to Walmart today and had some luck. They didn't have much of a selection of CC games on my reciepts. They did have Beach Spikers for $50. Lol. They also had Def Jam Vendetta for $20. So I went with that one. They didn't have Mario Party 4, which I had tried already at BB. I would suggest not trying to PM $50 games. It's tough to get the employees to do it. Anyways, I went up to check out with DJV, and I ended up going through two cashiers, a manager, and a customer service person before I finally got the price override. I finally got it to work somewhere. Good luck to everyone else.

[Team Spicoli]

Where are you getting these scanned receipts from. . . .I've scoured CAG so far and found none. . .any help would be greatly appreciated. . .

[yeldarb367]

I think there are some earlier in this thread.
