I use Amazon on a monthly basis...thanks for the tip! I have 3 kids, on a tight budget, and find it difficult to buy things without going overboard. Now I know what to do with atleast one site. Thanks!

This is really useful. I had no idea!
Thanks!

Thank you so much, Jamie, for passing along the information about the Amazon price guarantee and the tracking sites! I had recently purchased several books and found, because of you, that 2 of them had gone down in price. Now, thanks to you, I am getting a refund. Also, thank you for your detailed instructions; I referred to them several times.

Well I just asked for a $1.50 refund, I will see what kind of hassle I get.

Actually I don't have any idea about Amazon Price Drop Refunds I would like to know more about this concept. I am waiting for the response.

Hi. I'm a long-time lurker. I just want to bring to your attention that Amazon is no longer doing price adjustments:

"Thank you for contacting us to take advantage of our Post-Order Price Guarantee. I've confirmed that we now offer a greater discount on xxxxx than at the time you placed your order.

Since your purchase shipped within the past 30 days, I've requested a refund of $x.xx to the original payment method used for your order. This amount reflects the difference between the price you were originally charged for the item and the current price offered by Amazon.com. This refund should be processed in the next few days.

Only orders placed before September 1, 2008 are eligible for a price difference refund under the Post-Order Price Guarantee policy. As of September 1, 2008 we are no longer offering discounts if prices change on our website after you make a purchase."
