Walmart has a New Christmas Price Guarantee Programfor 2011!   Customers Don’t Have to Wait to Save;  Walmart to Match Prices Even After Purchases Are Made During the Holiday Season…

• If you purchase a product at Walmart between 11/1/11 – 12/25/11 and find priced less at any other store, Walmart will refund the difference with a Walmart gift card.

Here is how it works:

• Bring in your original Walmart cash register receipt and the local competitor’s current printed sales ad to Walmart’s Customer Service desk through December 25, 2011 to receive your refund.  The Christmas Guarantee also applies to Walmart LAYAWAY items!

• Walmart will NOT match online retailers, however they WILL match Walmart.com.  Purchases at Walmart.com are not eligible, they will just match their own online pricing in stores.

Exclusions:

• There are some additional exclusions.  Black Friday ads, expired ads, offers with Gift Cards, internet pricing, limited time or quantity offers (i.e. 6 hour sales), percentage off ads, bundles, trade-in offers, offers that require a purchase or gift provided with purchase, clearance or ads with typographical errors. The Christmas Price Guarantee does not apply to grocery items, non-branded items (i.e. live plants), tobacco, firearms, gasoline, tires, prescription drugs, optical, or wireless products that require a service agreement.

I am curious to what you all think, I personally think this is a good thing…feel free to share your opinions in the comment section!  I am also excited that Walmart is bringing back the layaway, how about you?!
