lowest price guarantee.
You must be an active

be sold for less by a retail business at its regular price
within 30 days of the date your order was placed with Distinct Advantage®
Definitions Identical
Product New
(current model year) in stock and perfect merchandise carrying the
identical manufacturer’s model number, color, description, warranty and/or
guarantee. New merchandise that is damaged in any way, defective,
discontinued, not perfect, gray market or parallel merchandise or
merchandise on which the price does not include the original full U.S.
warranty, seconds, re-packs or floor samples do not qualify as identical
products.
Retail
Business An
authorized retail dealer selling consumer goods at a profit in an
arms-length transaction to the general public on a regular basis. This
does not include charities, Internet sales, government subsidized outlets,
other subsidized businesses, builders, contractors or a special
arrangement.
Regular
Price The
price at which the retailer ordinarily sells the product for as its stated
policy of doing business. Sale prices which are available to the general
public will be considered regular prices. Prices not qualifying include
prices of leftover models or floor samples, discontinued products,
close-outs, other buying services, bankruptcy sales, loss leaders,
depressed merchandise prices, construction package deals on products,
employee discounts, prices obtained through the Internet, prices obtained
through an employee benefit plan, or prices obtained through an
arrangement, cash only or limited availability sales or government
subsidized outlet prices.
Valid
Proof Verifiable advertisement or verifiable written quotation on a
firm’s business stationery which shows the item, price, including any
shipping or delivery charges, brand name, model number, when the price is
in effect, as well as the name and address of the retail business which is
selling the identical product, will be considered valid proof. The
difference will be calculated on the merchandise cost excluding any taxes,
shipping or delivery quoted by the retail business and Distinct Advantage®. Distinct Advantage® reserves the right to verify and
correct shipment charges should there be a miscalculation. All prices
submitted for comparison must be verifiable. Prices will be compared prior
to any applicable rebates.
The savings guarantee
does not apply to loss leader or limited availability items, cash only
sales, close-outs, returned items, computer industry products, employee
discounts, vehicles, pricing attained through the Internet, DVDs, CDs,
loose or set stones, travel, gourmet foods, tires and special or
negotiated arrangements, returned items, canceled orders, incorrect prices
quoted due to vendor or employee errors (double-the-difference back
payment would be calculated based on the correct pricing), or any service
or product not purchased directly through Distinct Advantage®. The
member is entitled to one (1) "double-the-difference lowest price
guarantee" in the U.S. per item quoted, i.e. member does not receive "DD"
back on five (5) identical items, but only one (1) item per member number.
