Site Updates and New Retailers
Friday, June 19, 2009
The blog's been quiet for a while, but we're still here working hard to save you money.
It's busy around here as always. You may have noticed we launched a new an improved login and sign up process recently. We moved a bunch of the signup details to the beginning of the process to make it easier to get it out of the way when creating a new account. If you're a new user, let us know how you found the signup.
We haven't been doing Two-Fer Tuesdays for a while, but we're coming on strong tonight with
6 new retailers:
As always, keep the suggestions coming in -- and thanks for using Price Protectr!

Circuit City is Going out of Business
Friday, January 23, 2009
This morning, Circuit City posted this message on their website:
Circuit City would like to thank all of the customers who have shopped with us over the past 60 years. Unfortunately, we announced on January 16, 2009, that we are going out of business.
It's a sad day, and we're sorry to see them go. They've been one of Price Protectr's most popular retailers for years and (personally) one of our favorite places to shop.
The economic crisis is hitting everyone pretty hard these days, but that's all the more reason to use Price Protectr! (Where else can you find sales without even looking for them?) If you have friends ore family who could use a little extra money in their wallet,
tell them about Price Protectr!Labels: announcements, retailers

Two-Fer Tuesday: B&H Photo and Tilly's

I guess it's technically Two-Fer Wednesday (thanks to the holiday weekend), but you get two new retailers either way! Today's two-fer adds a couple more frequently requested retailers without price protection policies;

We've been adding a lot of retailers without policies lately, but after Amazon
discontinued their Post Order Price Guarantee this weekend, we'll get back to retailers with price protection for the next few weeks.
Will Amazon's policy change effect where you make purchases? If you have any favorite retailers with price protection that we don't support here, email us!

A Big Two-Fer Tuesday
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Today's a pretty momentous Two-Fer. For almost two years now, we've been focusing almost exclusively on price protection. A couple months back we introduced deal alerts, price watching, and price targeting -- a few more powerful tools for your online shopping arsenal. We've been getting a lot of requests lately to support retailers without price protection policies so, without further ado, todays Two-Fer adds two popular retailers
without price protection policies;
Newegg and
Ritz Camera.

Cool News and a New Retailer?
Friday, June 20, 2008
We usually add new retailers on Tuesday, but today's TGIF!
It turns out Zappos terminated their famous price protection policy
way back in February, and we totally missed it. Anyway, we've removed them from our supported retailer list and added
ShoeMall in their place. They have a 15 day price protection policy and a 110% price match guarantee. Not too bad!
But, before you start thinking price protection policies are on their way out, consider
Best Buy's new Reward Zone Premier Silver Membership; if you spend $2500 a year at Best Buy, you qualify for their program which offers a sweet 45 day price protection policy, among other things (thanks Chris). And, if you're someone who spends $2500 a year at Best Buy, you can definitely use Price Protectr! We'll be adding support for BBRZPSMs within the next few days.

Two-Fer Tuesday: JC Penney and Toys "R" Us
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
Today's two-fer adds a couple more oft-requested retailers:
JC Penney and
Toys "R" Us.
Apologies to everyone who requested Toys "R" Us over the weekend. I had been telling people that Toys "R" Us doesn't have a price protection policy because that's what we had been told by a customer service representative. One Price Protectr user wrote in saying that his local store had a 30 day price protection policy. So there you go -- you might get different answers depending on who you talk to and which store you're visiting!
One of the ideas behind the retailer ratings & reviews is to help get a good picture of how well each store supports its price protection policies. The more feedback Price Protectr users leave, the surer you can be about collecting your price adjustment.

Your Price Is Right
Monday, February 19, 2007
There are a bunch of cool updates tonight.
You now have the option to change your purchase price before you submit your item for protection. Just click the
pay a different price? link. Enter your actual purchase price, click
protect and viola! Price Protectr will notify you when it drops below what you paid for it rather than what was on the website.
If you couldn't use Price Protectr because your email address started with a digit, you can now. So get protectin.
And, last but not least, Price Protectr now supports
American Musical Supply. Rock on.

Now Supporting Amazon.de!
Friday, February 2, 2007
I've had a ton of requests for
Amazon.de, so there you go. In addition to not speaking German, I had to change a whole bunch of stuff to get it to work (although it should make it a lot easier to add non-US sites from now on). So if there are any problems or things seem a bit wacky, let me know!

Confirmation Emails
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
Now when you add an item to Price Protectr, you can expect a cheery confirmation email in your inbox. I hate automated email as much as the next guy, which is why I've been avoided confirmation emails for this long. However, some people have been confused as to whether anything actually happens when you press that 'start protecting' button -- so now you know. Plus it allows people to see whether their spam blocker will stop that $200 price drop email. It's a small price to pay, really.
Plus, tonight 6th Avenue Electronics has been added to the ever-growing list of supported retailers.

Whitelist YourStuff!
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
Yourstuff@priceprotectr.com, that is. Over the weekend I received a number of email challenges for price drop emails. For those of you unfamilar with challenge-response spam filtering, here's a link to an
explanation on Wikipedia.
I obviously can't go through the process of authorizing the Price Protectr address for everyone running this kind of software, so do yourself a favor and add yourstuff to the whitelist.
And, as promised, Price Protectr now supports Staples.ca.

Get the Price Protectr Blog on the Go
Monday, January 22, 2007
By popular request, the Price Protectr Blog is now available via
RSS feed. Now all you Price Protectr junkies never need to miss a post again.
I also did some work on improving foreign currency support, which should make it easier to add more non-US sites in the future.
And, last but not least, Price Protectr now supports Staples. Don't worry, Staples.ca is coming soon!

Price Protectr Savings Top $10,000!
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
This afternoon the
total savings counter topped $10,000. That's pretty good! At this rate, Price Protectr will have saved people $167,000 by the end of the year. Think it'll happen?
Here are a few more interesting stats -- people have protected approximately 1.6 items each with an average savings of $34.27. The largest savings so far has been $450.00.
Aside from collecting some stats, I also added support for a couple new sites: Bike Nashbar and Cooking.com and changed the format of the links to supported stores on the main page a bit. Cyclists and cooks, eat (and spend) your hearts out.

Welcome to the Price Protectr Blog!
Tuesday, January 9, 2007
Since being
linked on Digg, Price Protectr has been getting a lot of attention. Over the weekend visitors submitted about
700 new items and saved over $2,000. Not bad for two days.
I've received a lot of requests via email and have a number improvements planned for the site, so I figured this blog would be the best way to everyone up to date on what's happening around here.
Since the original post, I've added support for amazon.ca and amazon.co.uk. Not having made a purchase from those sites myself, I made a best guess as to where to go to request a refund. If anyone goes through the process and finds that the instructions are incorrect, please let me know.
It's also worth mentioning that if anyone has problems with or comments about the site, you're welcome to email me about it. It's more productive than making snide comments on forums... although maybe not as satisfying. Really, there's no reason you can't do both. Chances are if you contact me about it, it'll get fixed faster.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Take off your shoes and stay a while.
