Walmart Just Updated Their Online Price Matching Policies!

Walmart has finally updated their Online Price Match Policy to deal with all those crazy penny deals and $50 PS4s that so many people were getting.  We will go through all the changes below but first, let me just say how happy I am to see this.  It was getting pretty crazy out there and I’m glad that Walmart saw the issue and put a stop to it.  Now here’s what’s different.

No More 3rd Party Sellers

Here’s the actual text from the policy.

We do not honor:

• Prices from marketplace and third-party sellers.

So all those penny deals and scam deals and crazy discounts on electronics are done.  Thank Goodness.

New Limits on How Many You Can Buy

Here is the actual text from the policy.

• We will limit quantities to one-per-customer, per item, per day**

So only one like item per day, per customer.  Unfortunately all the fallout from this mess is now we are limited on how much we can buy.  That’s unfortunate but I guess it’s still fair.

New Limits on Where We Can Price Match From

Here’s the actual text from the policy

Online retailers are limited to: Academy.com, Amazon.com, Autozone.com, Babiesrus.com, Basspro.com, Bedbathandbeyond.com, Bestbuy.com, Cabelas.com, Dickssportinggoods.com, Dollargeneral.com, Familydollar.com, Homedepot.com, Jcpenny.com, Kmart.com, Kohls.com, Lowes.com, Michaels.com, Newegg.com, Officedepot.com, Oreillyauto.com, Pepboys.com, Petco.com, Petsmart.com, Sears.com, SportsAuthority.com, Staples.com, Target.com, Tigerdirect.com, Toysrus.com, Walgreens.com, Walmart.com

Where before we weren’t limited to just these sites, now we are.  I’m guessing some people were using some crazy scam sites to get Walmart to price match crazy deals.

I think this will be a positive change and ensure that everyone is getting good, but fair, prices on what they want to buy.  You can also check out this FAQ post we put together with all your Online Price Matching Questions.

What do you think about this change?  I’d love to know in the comments!
