How you can get back money on your Amazon Purchases

Whilst chatting with a friend of mine on IM earlier he told me that he’d made a handy discovery on. 

You see, he was looking through the terms and conditions on Amazon’s website and noticed 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.”

Stupendous !

So if I purchase something today and next week Amazon reduce it by 20% then I can claim that 20% reduction back !  No wonder they’ve buried that deep in their Terms and Conditions. It could cost them loads of money!

But the question is who’s going to have time to keep going back and checking and rechecking to see if their Amazon buys have been reduced ?

This made me start searching the Interweb for a solution.

It appears that up until relatively recently the only way that these price drops could be found was either by remembering every purchase you’ve made or by wading through all your email receipts line by line. And after that hitting Amazon to find out if the price has dropped. Tiresome!

Then I discovered Price Drop Protector.

All you have to do is to enter the item code, the amount paid, the date you bought the product (these details can be found in your Amazon account page) and an email address. The site will then tell you if the product drops in price during the 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 cash why not test out Price Drop Protector, start protecting your prices and saving money!
