Target Price Match Holiday 2023
Target's holiday price matching program is BACK and lasts all the way through December 24th this year! That means now through Christmas Eve, Target is price-matching anything you purchase – even if it drops in price after you buy it!
Last year, PPP Team Member Jamie got $75 back for various purchases she made, and she said it was SUPER easy. Here's exactly how to score a Target Price Match refund (be sure to bookmark this page!):
1. First, check your Target Order History.
2. See If The Price Has Dropped.
Click through the items you purchased in your orders and compare them to current Target prices (especially Black Friday week and Cyber Week!)
- The Airpods I bought a few weeks ago for $199 are now $179.
- A Hoverboard I bought in store is now $25 less.
- My rug I bought a couple months ago was $20 cheaper this week.
- Also a sweater I bought for my son was 30% OFF!

Target Price Match Black Friday Info
But Will They Price Match on Black Friday?
The answer is… MAYBE?! Target's website does NOT exclude Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals from price matching. However a phone call to our local store reported that they would exclude Black Friday Day this year.
So if you're bound and determined to get in on Target Black Friday Deals – you may still want to shop on Black Friday to be sure to get the lowest price. If you like, you can take a look at what we already know will go on sale for Target Black Friday.

How Does Price Matching Work?
All year long, Target will price match within 14 days of your purchase. But during the holidays for 2023, the window of time extends from October 22nd – December 24th.
If you buy a qualifying item at Target then find the identical item for less at Target.com, select online competitors, or in Target’s or competitor’s local print ad, you can request a price match. Price adjustments may be requested at time of purchase or within 14 days after purchase. Here's more info regarding this…
It may qualify for a price match if…
- It's an eligible Target product, bought from Target today, or in the past 14 days. Or, starting October 22, 2023, if you purchase an eligible item and the price goes lower at Target on or before December 24, 2023.
- It's the identical item, brand name, size, weight, color, quantity and model number.
- It's in stock at a lower price, right now, from a select list of competitors – on their sites, or in their local print ad. Competitors we price match.

Target is not able to price match if…
- It's a “Marketplace” price from a 3rd party seller, or an item sold by Target Plus.
- If you bought it in a Target store, and the lower price is from a different Target store.
- If you received a promotional Target GiftCard as part of the original purchase. Or, if the product currently has a Target GiftCard offered as part of a promotion.
- You are also using a Target Circle offer, Registry completion coupon or other Target coupons.

Target is great! Yes, they do price match! I wanted 8 Christmas popcorn tins for my grandchildren. Target $12.00 and Walmart $6.86. I just showed the cashier the Walmart ad on my phone, no problem. Used my $50 voucher for opening a Target debit card to pay. Win-Win!!
