Is a store required to give me a price adjustment?

No. A price adjustment is a store policy, not a consumer right. Each store sets its own window, exclusions, and claim method, and can decline a request that does not fit its policy. Receipt Weasel shows you the policy it found and the deadline; the decision is the store's.

Does Receipt Weasel file the claim for me?

No. It prepares the pieces a claim needs: the receipt, the confirmed item, the price you paid, the lower price it found, the deadline, and the store's claim method. You make the request with the store.

How often does Receipt Weasel check prices?

Automatically, without you doing anything: about once a day on the den trial and twice a day for members, for as long as the store's adjustment window is open. You get a notification in the app and by email when it finds a drop inside the window.

Which stores does Receipt Weasel support?

There is no fixed list. When you confirm a receipt, Receipt Weasel looks up that store's published price-adjustment policy and keeps it with your items. If a store offers no adjustment, it says so, and you can decide whether a return and rebuy is worth it.

A 30-day trial starts the first time you use it, with no card up front and up to 5 tracked items. After that, Receipt Weasel runs on the Den membership: $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year for 25 tracked items, with Amplified Tracking (+$3.99 a month) raising that to 100.

Price adjustments, explained

Can I get a refund if the price drops after I buy?

Sometimes. Many stores will refund the difference if their own price falls within a set window after your purchase. The window is usually short, the store has to be asked, and proof is on you. That is the whole game: know the window, have the receipt, notice the drop in time.

This page explains how adjustments work and what to bring. Receipt Weasel is one way to not miss the window; it watches the prices of things you already bought and tells you when a drop lands inside the store’s policy. It does not file the claim, and it cannot make a store say yes.

Four things people mix up

A price adjustment is not a price match.

Price match: The store matches a competitor's or its own lower price at the time you buy. Some stores fold post-purchase adjustments into the same policy; some do not.
Price adjustment: The store refunds the difference after you already paid, because its own price dropped inside its adjustment window. This is what Receipt Weasel watches for.
Return and rebuy: No adjustment policy, but a return window. You return the item and buy it again at the lower price. Works only while the return window is open and the item is in returnable condition.
Credit card price protection: A card benefit, separate from the store, that reimburses a drop within a set period. Fewer cards offer it than a few years ago; check your card's guide to benefits.

How the windows work

Three stores, three different clocks.

Each store sets its own window, exclusions, and claim path. These three are examples read from each store’s published policy on September 13, 2026. Policies change; confirm the current one with the store before you claim.

Target
Up to 14 days after purchase
Original receipts, physical or digital, or packing slips are required. Request at Guest Services or checkout in store, or by chat or phone for online orders. Screenshots are not accepted as price proof; team members verify the current price themselves.
Read Target’s policy
Best Buy
During the return and exchange period
If Best Buy lowers its own in-store, online, or app price during the return and exchange period, it matches the lower price on request. Online and app orders go through phone or chat; store purchases go to the customer service desk. Policy page shows an effective date of September 2, 2026.
Read Best Buy’s policy
Costco
Within 30 days of purchase
Warehouse purchases are adjusted at the returns counter of the warehouse where you bought; Costco.com orders use an online request form and are credited in 5 to 10 business days. Warehouse and online prices are not matched to each other.
Read Costco’s policy

Some stores publish no adjustment policy at all. When that is the case, a return and rebuy inside the return window is usually the only route, and Receipt Weasel will tell you the store offers no adjustment rather than pretend otherwise.

What a claim needs

Five things to have ready.

01
The original receipt, order number, or packing slip. Most stores will not adjust without one.
02
The exact item: same model, size, and color. A similar listing usually does not count.
03
Proof of the lower price at the same store, in the form the store accepts. Some verify the current price live and refuse screenshots.
04
The claim path the store publishes: a service desk, a chat, a phone line, or a web form. Online and in-store purchases often use different paths.
05
A calendar. Windows are short, and the clock started at checkout, not when you noticed.

Where Receipt Weasel fits

It watches, so you do not have to.

1. You add the receipt. A photo, a screenshot, or the details typed in. You confirm which items to watch; nothing is tracked from a guess.
2. It finds the store’s policy. The adjustment window, the claim method, and the deadline are kept with your items.
3. It checks automatically. About once a day on the trial and twice a day for members, for as long as the window is open. You do nothing.
4. It tells you when a drop lands inside the window. In the app and by email, with the price you paid, the lower price, and the deadline.
5. You claim. With the proof assembled and the store’s own claim path in front of you. The store decides.

It does not: guarantee a refund, file the claim for you, contact the store, or move money.

It starts from a purchase: it is not a wishlist tracker and not an expense or tax tool. United States stores first.

The whole den, free for 30 days. No card up front, up to 5 tracked items. After the trial, Receipt Weasel runs on one Den membership: $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year for 25 tracked items. Boost Receipt Weasel from 25 to 100 tracked items. +$3.99/month.
