Hi all.
I'm going to try out a strategy this year taking advantage of the Citibank Platinum Mastercard Price Protection Plan - and I am wondering if anyone else has tried using the PPP and run into any problems. There are a few items that I know for a fact will go on sale after Christmas/Boxing Day - but go quickly due to popularity. By buying now and waiting for the price to drop later I am ensuring that I a) actually get the item without having to wait in massive lines and rick the chance of not getting it and b) get the proper size (especially with respect to items like suits, shoes whcih only have really small or big sizes left after the sales). I figure if the prices drop after the holis I can use the PPP to pick up the savings. In the event the item does not go on sale - then I can always return the item and get my $ back. I think it is foolproff - What do you think?
Since I've never tried usuing the PPP I am curious as to what proof is required. Most of the places I shop at do not have flyers/websites so I wouldn't be able to point to a flyer or website to show a price drop. Most places just adverstise "25% of all suits on Boxing day" - how would I prove this to Citibank - could I take a photo of the item and offer it as proof??
Thanks
