What's Shakin'?

Price Protectr was featured on a CBS evening news piece in the Big Apple, How Not To Lose Money When Products Go On Sale! I'd like to give a special thanks to Bryan Lemster, a Price Protectr user who saved $100 on his new monitor, for giving us a great review. Read the article and watch the clip to learn more about Bryan's experience and hear our very talented CEO, James Wallace, talk about the service.

It's been an exciting day at Price Protectr. Did you notice? We crossed a couple bug numbers today -- over $5 million in protected purchases and over $300,000 in savings. Wow!

Thanks to all our loyal users out there and keep telling your friends about us. We're always happy to help more consumers get a little money back. Keep the comments and questions coming, we love hearing from you!

You're looking to buy an iPhone or a new laptop for school... but you just know the price is going to drop in a couple days. Ever wonder who has the best price protection policy? Or how easy it is to collect refunds from different retailers and how well the enforce their policies? Never fear! Tonight we're happy to announce the launch of Price Protectr retailer ratings and reviews.

Now, whenever an item you're protecting drops in price, you have the ability to leave retailer feedback in your My Stuff page. Rate the overall experience between 1 and 5 stars and leave a more detailed review if you'd like. The more feedback you give, the better the reviews become. Then, next time you're looking to make a purchase, head over to the retailers page and read what other users have to say before you buy.

We also sent out the very first Price Protectr newsletter this evening to our members. It's short and sweet and hopefully at least a little interesting. If you didn't receive the newsletter and feel left out, feel free to check out our online version.

Appologies to anyone who tried to add an item from Costco today. There was a small glitch which should be all fixed up. Just a quick reminder that if anyone encounters any problems with the site, feel free to send us an email and let us know!

We've been getting a ton of requests for new retailers recently... so many that adding one a week just isn't enough. So today we're happy to announce the start of Two-Fer Tuesday. From now on we'll be adding two new retailers every Tuesday unless we run out of retailers or go on vacation :-)

Today's two-fer includes J.Crew and Rooms to Go. Happy shopping!

Tonight we added a couple new notification options for members.

One option signs you up for special Price Protectr announcements such as contests and new retailer announcements. (Speaking of special announcements, we're still looking for a Price Protectr user in the Eastern Mass, NH, or VT area to do a TV interview)

The other option signs you up for exclusive, Price Protetcr members-only offers from your favorite retailers. To be honest, we don't even have any special offers lined up at the moment so you won't get any of these emails for a while. We just figured it would be good to have in case something comes along. And, in case a lot of them come along, we promise not to send more than one email a week.

Finally, good news if you bought a HDTV from Best Buy recently. From June 3rd to September 29th, they're offering 60 days of price protection. If you submitted a qualifying TV, we've automatically updated your protection information. And, of course, any HDTVs submitted from now until September 29th will be protected for 60 days!
