Price match at Nordstrom saved me $900 today!!

This may be old news to everyone else, but I just found out that Nordstrom has a price matching policy! The only restrictions is that the price has to be for exactly the same item, brand new, and no auction sites. But the best part is that it does NOT have to be an authorized retailer!!

I have been ogling a Tag Heuer that''s currently retailing for $2,300. A few semi-shady online retailers have it for around $1,350-$1,600, but I was obviously concerned about ordering from a site that wasn''t reputable. Authorized retailers (Ben Bridge & the like) were all at $2,100 to $2,300. So I called up Nordstrom''s customer service and asked them to match the price of watchclick.com, and they sold me the watch for $1,350!!! So I get a brand new watch direct from the Tag factory, complete with the security of having ordered through Nordstrom, all for the rock-bottom internet price of $950 less than retail! I had to pay sales tax but with a discount that big, who really cares? Totally made my day.

Hope someone else finds this helpful! The woman did mention that they have a "designer" list for merchandise that they won''t match, but Tag wasn''t on there. I''m sure it''s so you can''t find a price on a knock-off Prada bag and then have them price-match it. However, since jewelry isn''t really their specialty and it''s probably not ripped off quite as much as something like handbags, it looks like their policy is pretty liberal.

That''s awesome, I never knew that!

Two other places that price match are Lenscrafters (where I received Costco prices)and recently Best Buy (Who price matched my Wii to Costco pricing as well).

Holy crap! I'm a HUGE Nordy's fan and spend a lot of money with them and did not know that. Thanks for sharing!!

I bought a TAG about three years ago and I LOVE it. I am a watch junkie and tend to go thru them every couple years, but I still love mine as much as they day I bought it. It was worth every single penny.

That''s incredible!

I''m a huge fan of Nordstrom''s. They have twice put money back on my card after I made purchases there, and I did not have any proof of the purchase either time. Once was for a business suit I bought that I saw on sale several weeks later. A sales associate heard me say "Oh man, I just bought that suit full price a few weeks ago!" and she asked for a card, any card, and put the difference right on it.

THEN, my wedding shoes went on sale (half price) ages after I bought them, and they did the same thing for me.

The suit thing happened years ago, before they could look up past purchases using my card number, so she just trusted me and added the credit.

Unbelievable customer service.

Yeah, they do price match a lot of stuff. They would have priced matched my Roberto Coin necklace but for some reason I still bought it at BBB, which was a huge mistake since they went out of business and now the pendant can''t be serviced if something happens to it.
