This is in limited markets at this time, but WOW! There’s a new program in beta called Walmart Savings Catcher. You can see more on it here.

The long story short on this one is that you can buy with confidence. Buy your items, upload your receipt to your Walmart Savings Cather account and if Walmart knows of a better advertised price at select area competitors, they will refund you the difference on a Walmart eGift Card via email. This applies to in store purchases only, in select beta markets only at this time.

What types of promotions does Savings Catcher not include?Savings Catcher does not compare the following types of offers:

• Items that require a separate purchase to get the advertised price (example: “Buy oatmeal to get cereal for $1.”)
• Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get a free product. (example: “Buy both oatmeal & cereal to get milk for free.”)
• Items that require a purchase to get a gift card (example: “Buy a 12 pack of paper towels to get a $5 gift card.”)
• Buy one get one free (BOGO) where there is no actual item price listed (example: Peter Pan Peanut Butter, buy one, get one free. Save up to $2.50”)
• Going out of business or closeout prices
• Percentage off (example: “All mascara, 40% off”)

What happens if I use coupons?

• No problem, you can still use Savings Catcher. If you use a coupon, Savings Catcher will compare the original Walmart price of the item, before the coupon was applied, to other stores’ advertised prices for the same item. For example: You bought cookies at Walmart. The shelf price was $3 and you used a coupon for $0.25, so you paid $2.75. If Savings Catcher finds that a competitor advertised those same cookies for $2, Savings Catcher will still credit you $1, even though you paid only $2.75 at Walmart.
