Target ends price match with competitors Amazon and Walmart
Digest more
Target will stop matching prices of Walmart, Amazon originally appeared on Bring Me The News. Target will stop price matching identical items sold for less by its biggest competitors, Walmart and Amazon, later this month.
Target announced it would no longer match prices from its competitors, like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, starting at the end of this month.
The changes come after a rough quarter for Target, with sales at stores open for at least a year tumbling 3.8% compared to the same quarter a year prior. This was partly because of tariff-related uncertainty as well as backlash from some customers about its reversal on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, executives said.
Target shoppers are losing a discount option used when the store’s competitors had lower prices listed. Previously, a Target customer could show a staff member a competitor’s lower price on an identical product to receive a discount at checkout. That will no longer be an option at Target as of July 28, according to Retail Dive.
