Does Walmart Price Match? Almost Exclusively Online

Walmart has gradually weakened its policy on price matching over time. It was initially taken out of 500 stores and replaced with the Savings Catcher App. Next, they increased the number of stores that had to rely on the Savings Catcher App. In the end, they completely abandoned the Savings Catcher App, stating that they consistently offered the lowest prices and therefore no longer required an in-store price matching guarantee.

However, if you shop on Walmart.com, you have a lot more alternatives for price matching. We'll go into all the specifics today.

Does Walmart match prices?

Only some situations will result in Walmart matching prices. They will not price match in-store:

Competitors
Additional Neighborhood Market or Walmart locations
Walmart Marketplace sellers on Walmart.com

What will they match the price on then? Their own website. You can ask for a price match at your neighborhood Walmart if you see an item for less on Walmart.com.

Walmart.com will price match a few other merchants if you shop online. More on that coming up.

How do you convince Walmart to price match?

Ask the cashier at the register or a representative at the customer care desk for a price match if you see something in the store that is less expensive online. A supervisor may or may not need to review the transaction.

No rain checks; the product must be available at the local Walmart location and online at Walmart.com. Also, every aspect of the item must match, including the color, size, and model number.

There is a limitation that you don't see with most other retailers: you can only make one price match claim each day.

Walmart will only match Amazon's pricing if you make your purchase through Walmart.com. Prices from Amazon will not be honored in-store.

Does Walmart match Target's price?

Target.com's pricing will be matched on Walmart.com, but not at actual Walmart stores.
