Watching Your Wallet With Price Protectr

Leslie Poston,


price protector logoMost of the time, when you shop online, it's because you are looking for the best deal. But how can you be sure you are really getting the best price without spending hours on Internet research? Price Protectr is here to help you with that.

They now offer a service in which they are partnering with 58 online stores to help ensure you are getting your purchases for the best price possible. Their service is super easy to use, and the service they offer fills a much needed void.

How it works is simple. You just purchase your item from any of the 58 stores currently on their ever increasing partner list. Go to Price Protectr and enter the URL of the item you just bought. They keep track of the item's price for you.

If the price drops on your item at any of the 58 stores, Price Protectr lets you know.  This gives you the chance to take advantage of the stores' refund policy on already purchased items.  All of these stores have this refund policy in place, but in the past it has been your responsibility to keep track of the prices yourself, something most people don't have time for.

    • PriceProtectr is such an amazing application. I saved $300 on a 42 inch lcd that I purchased at Best Buy last week. It’s so easy to use and the site protects most of the well known retailers! I highly recommend it for anyone who likes to save money.
