Discover Adds Limitation to Price Protection Benefit [Computer Parts]

Discover offers a Price Protection benefit which will refund you if an item you buy with a Discover card goes down in price after purchasing. Even a better price found at a different retailer can be matched. There is a $500 maximum limit per item, and an annual limit of $2,500 per account. Some people love using this for Black Friday and other flash sales.

Effective August 1, Discover added a limitation to exclude computer parts and related items from the benefit.

Here’s the exclusion:

Computer components including but not limited to external and internal hard drives, CPUs, power supplies, batteries, DVDs, video cassettes, CDs, audio cassettes, printed materials, or any other informational and recreational media

Computers and laptops are apparently still included from what I understand; just computer parts are excluded.

Citi’s Price Rewind should still work on computer parts so use Citi if you need that protection.

“video cassettes”? LOL.. Believe it or not, there was a company which was still manufacturing VCR’s.
They very recently stopped making them.

Oh, goodness. I hope this wasn’t my fault! I just received approval for a Price Protection refund of $90 for a video card PC part today.

My first time ever taking advantage of the program.

Sorry all!
