I have never found these policies especially useful, as I usually expect to do the background work properly and buy from the best place first time round. I have always viewed them as only really useful if: 1 - I did not do my research properly, and discovered my mistake after the fact. 2 - It lets me leverage a benefit such as being able to inspect the purchase in a local store, or need it *now*. An example here would be Halfords who price match their website in their shops, and against other competing websites - at least for cycling products, or 3 - If there is some minor detail different that requires me to buy from a particular place. Having said that I have just had my first success at this game (in addition to Halfords), when my door supplier, who has a liberal price-match policy, has just price matched a 10% cheaper price offer from Travis-Perkins for a nearly similar door and also the free delivery, and refunded £80. Nice night at the theatre coming soon :-). Has anyone had any benefit from such policies? (Note: agree that negotiating on the basis of "that price over there" is akey tool pre-purchase expecially for big-ticket items). Ferdinand
