How does Lowest Price Watch work?
     Lowest Price Watch is an online shopping portal based on price guarantees.  All of the stores listed on the homepage of Lowest Price Watch offer low price guarantees.  That is to say, they will give you a refund on an item that you bought at their store, if you can find a lower price at another store.
     With Lowest Price Watch, though, you don't have to search for lower prices.  We will do the searching for FREE for you - immediately after your purchase and up to 60 days after that.  Just shop at any of the online stores listed on Lowest Price Watch, and, when you checkout, a small window will pop up and ask for your email.  This window will also ask for the part number and price, which we need to search for lower prices for you.  If we find a lower price we will email you instructions on how to receive your price guarantee refund.

How does the Double Guarantee work?
     If you find a price lower than the price that Lowest Price Watch finds for your purchase, and meets the requirements of the merchant's price guarantee, we will give you a refund for the difference.  Just email us with the web address of the lower price and we will deposit the difference into your Paypal account.  At this time Lowest Price Watch is only fulfilling this guarantee through Paypal.

What do I have to do to get a refund?
     Not much.  Pick one of the listed merchants, and then shop as you normally would.  At checkout, click the link in the Lowest Price Watch frame above the merchant's site and enter the items you bought and their price.  If the merchant that you chose to shop at does not have the lowest price, you will receive an email from us alerting you to a lower price.  In that email, just click on the link and fill in the merchant's price match form with the information that you get from us in the email.  You should receive your refund within a week.

How soon do I receive my refunds?
     Most merchants with low price guarantees will refund the price difference within a week.

Where does the refund come from, anyway?
     Our select group of merchants have low price guarantees that give you the confidence that you are receiving the lowest price.  If they do not have the lowest price we will alert you, and the merchant will refund the difference between what you paid and the lowest price.

How can Lowest Price Watch offer this service for free?
     Lowest Price Watch is dedicated to providing our members with the lowest possible prices!  We derive our income primarily from marketing partnerships with our merchants and advertising opportunities.

Do all purchases come with a price guarantee?
     Virtually every item you purchase through a Lowest Price Watch PG merchant comes with a price guarantee.  There are some items however, that are not included in the merchants' price guarantees.  Check the merchant's guarantee by clicking on the "PG" underneath their logos for the details of their guarantees.

Will I be able to receive the LPW Alert on all purchases I make at any Lowest Price Watch merchant?
     Yes, if you start at Lowest Price Watch every time you shop there.  If you do not click through Lowest Price Watch prior to entering the merchant site, the frame that allows you to open the Item/Price submission form will not appear.  The Lowest Price Watch frame must appear so you can click to enter your purchase information.

What if I want to return or cancel an order?
     Returns are subject to the return policy of the merchant from whom you purchased.  If you return or cancel an item, the merchant will only return the price you paid for that item, of course.

Can I use Lowest Price Watch if I live outside the U.S. and Canada?
     Yes, as long as the merchant you are purchasing from will ship outside of the U.S. and Canada.

What if Lowest Price Watch doesn't offer the store I want?
     We are working daily to ensure our members will enjoy a variety of goods and services from quality merchants.  If we do not have your favorite store, or if you would like to recommend a store to us, simply email service@LowestPriceWatch.com.  Remember that all merchants listed on our main page must have low price guarantees.

How safe is my credit card info?
     Credit card security is of the utmost importance to us.  All merchant transactions use the ultra safe SSL technology.

Are my transactions secure when going through Lowest Price Watch?
     Always.  When you check out at any of our merchants, you are on the safest possible connection, a Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

If my transaction is secure, why don't I see the "padlock" icon in my browser?
     Since our merchant pages are in the Lowest Price Watch frame, the "padlock" icon may not appear or may appear unlocked at the bottom of your browser.  Rest assured that all transactions through Lowest Price Watch are secure.

Will I start receiving "spam" if I join?
     No.  We will not sell your information to any third party.  We do send our own members information related to savings and special offers as they become available, but you may unsubscribe from our email lists at any time.

Will Lowest Price Watch sell information about me or my purchase habits?
     No.  Period.

What are "cookies" and how do I enable them?
     Cookies are simply text files that allow a site to recognize you when you return.  Cookies must be enabled on your browser to use the Lowest Price Watch price guarantee alert.  This is so we may verify your purchase with the merchant.  Click here to learn how to enable cookies on your browser.

What if the Lowest Price Watch frame at the top of the page disappears?
     Some of our merchants incorporate technology in their websites that cause the Lowest Price Watch frame, from which you activate the Item/Price submission form, to disappear.  If this happens just back up one page (by pressing the back button on your browser), click the Item/Price submission link (circled in red below) before the frame disappears.  The window will remain open until you get to the checkout page at which time you can enter your purchase information.


Why is Lowest Price Watch the best shopping service?
  • Only Lowest Price Watch ensures that you are getting the absolute lowest prices.
  • Lowest Price Watch will alert you to refunds available immediately, not three months down the road like other services.
  • Lowest Price Watch allows you to buy from a variety of merchants and still receive the lowest price.
  • Here's the kicker - the refunds that you receive from Lowest Price Watch merchants are not taxable, whereas the money you receive from other services is taxable.  That means you are getting approximately 30% more at Lowest Price Watch!

What are the different types of Price Guarantees?
     Price guarantees are called by many different names - price guarantees, price match, price protection, etc.  Each guarantee may also have different conditions.  The two main conditions are listed here:
  • The type of merchants whose prices qualify for price matching.  These are the merchants that the original merchant says you can match prices against.  This condition is usually one of three types: all merchants, merchants authorized by the manufacturer, or merchants included in a list on the price guarantee page of the original merchant.  The more merchants that qualify for price matching the better.
  • The amount of time after a purchase that the guarantee remains in effect.  Most guarantees fall within the 3 - 60 day range; the longer the better.
The conditions of our merchants' guarantees are shown below their logos.  A detailed explanation of the guarantee can be viewed by clicking on the "PG" conditions link.
