A little more
Target.com is a popular place to shop online. Bookmark this page and visit it each time you shop there - we’ve put together the best strategy we could find.
By clicking to Target.com through BigCrumbs.com, you get a certain percentage as cash back into your BigCrumbs account every time you make a purchase at Target.com. We’ve also included three great sites that track Target.com coupon codes. Click on the links to quickly scan for any coupon codes that are relevant to your purchase, and enter them according to the instructions above.
Finally, it is not common knowledge, but Target.com has a price drop policy. It works like this: if the price of an item you bought at Target.com drops within 14 days of purchase, Target.com will credit you the difference. But there are two catches:
- You have to monitor the price to find out when the drop happens.
- You have to ask Target.com for the price refund.
PriceProtectr.com makes these two steps easy for you. For each item you purchase at Target.com, submit the product’s url to PriceProtectr.com right after you purchase the item. We suggest using your personal email address at PriceProtectr.com, only because you’ll learn of price drops right away. If you check your registration email everyday too, then use that one.
If the price drops at Target.com on any of the items you’ve recorded, PriceProtectr.com will send you a link to Target.com’s price policy page, where you can ask for a refund of the price difference. Think of using PriceProtectr.com as an easy way to hedge your bets against price drops at Target.com. In other words, using our strategy could get you savings before and after you make your purchase.
That’s it! By taking a couple of extra steps, you can save yourself money every time you shop at Target.com.
