Price Matching Policies for Australian Store Chains that stock Toys

[nettie!]

From what I can read on the internets, the same policy is true at Target...so I might just go in tomorrow and layby me a Jetfire and Fallen in lieu of the toy sale, to make sure I don't miss out.

basically. don't.
there is a thread related purely to targets price matching "policies" and as a target layby supervisor in melb, i would strongly suggest NOT attempting this.
there a lot of factors each store and store manager will take into consideration - the main one being the region/district managers opinions and the store/regions loss prevention issues/policies.
you are better off buying a jetfire and fallen from target, buying a leader and voyager from bigw/kmart and refunding said leader and voyager at a target with the target receipt - therefore getting your jetfire and fallen for the bigw/kmart sale price.

My sister-in-law tried to get TRU to price match Big W today and they refused to do so even with a catalogue. According to the store manager they only match when the item is in their catalogue as well.

Get the current TRU catalogue, as it has on pages 3, 7, and 9, a banner stating 'Our Price Guarantee! If you find a stocked item currently advertised elsewhere for less, just tell us and we'll match the price. We promise.'
Sounds pretty black and white to me, that they only need proof it is advertised elsewhere (the current catalogue of the competitor), and that TRU only need to have it in stock, so should price match without any additional requirements, as there were no conditions or asterisks next to that statement. So just make sure you have a TRU catalogue that states that price-guarantee, and have it on hand any time they refuse to do a straight forward price-match to a competitor's catalogue.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but are there any issues with different barcodes or anything? I mean, will they accept a Prime refunded at Target with a Jetfire code?

Big W and Target both use SKU codes that are generic for all individual classes eg deluxes or leaders etc on their receipts where as kmart have the actual barcode APN on its receipts. Thus taking Leader prime from Big W to target and using the Jetfire receipt will work. It did for me
