Archived Target TM discounts

[IHT]

So does anyone know if is now an official rule, that you cannot price match & use you 10% TM discount at the same timr

 

[Infinim]

You can.

Unless it's changed recently, you could only price match and use your TM discount to Target's own website, but not to another retailer/Amazon/etc.

 

[Infinim]

It changed back during like black friday time frame.

3rd time I've seen this topic.

You can use your discount with any price match.

Whoops. How long has that been in effect, because I think I've turned down a few people trying to use a discount with price match.

I just found this out last week. I had been told last year by my ETL that team members couldn't use their discounts with price matching period, and she had me tell other team members that while in huddles.

You can, and if anyone tells you otherwise, pull up the policy. Some of these dumbass managers need to be shown that they're wrong.

I wouldn't call them dumbass managers, just misinformed. The policy has changed little by little over the years. Not everyone is up to speed at times.

But yes you can use a TM discount with a price match provided. However you cannot use cartwheel on top of it.

I always forget about the quantity limitation. So I've been doing it on a limit of 2 identical items, because I assumed it would at LEAST be 2. So...whoops again.

One time I did it on 4 identical items. They were just boxes of tea, and only about 30 cents cheaper online, so, I just went ahead and did it. I feel like having some leniency on that policy should be okay within a certain dollar amount or product type, right? Like, obviously not on multiple ipads. Buy on boxes of tea? Sure, fine.

I've always done it with cases of soda and a physical ad . Sets of four. But ever since we stopped price matching grocery stores because they aren't competitors...meh.

Physical ads didn't have a limit of one...that was only the online price match. Or did they change that as well?

Yep. I always gave some leniency based on what the guest was price matching. And if they gave me a hard time for only allowing two, then I would point out the policy was technically one and I was trying to help them out...then they usually shut up pretty quick.

We've always had power hungry bitches trying to "crack down"on price matching abuse...before online price matching. Which nobody really did...

I think any managers who didn't know this already are dumbasses. Because I didn't learn about the policy change back in November via Target.com. No, I learned via Redwire; a tool that all managers are supposed to be using.

I learned from this website. :/
