Target Price Match Holiday 2022
WOOOHOO ~ Target's holiday price matching program started earlier than ever this year (four days earlier than 2021)! 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 your Target Price Match refund (be sure to bookmark this page!):
2. See If The Price Has Dropped.
Click through the items you purchased in your orders and compare them to current Target prices on sale for 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!
3. Open a Target Chat.

Here are more details on the Target Holiday Price Match Policy – let us know what kinds of fun savings you've scored!
From October 6th through December 24th, anything you buy at Target can be price-matched if it goes on sale for a lower price. That's earlier than ever – and over two months to take advantage of the savings! Target shoppers can request a price adjustment over the phone or in store with proof of purchase.
In addition, Target will continue to price match their Competitors' sales within 14 days of purchase. Competitors include Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, and even Sam's Club and Costco! (See the full list of Target Competitors further down).
Target Price Match Black Friday Info
But Will They Price Match on Black Friday?
We just found out the answer is YES! Target will price adjust to match even their Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals this year. We initially thought this wasn't the case due to a sign posted in our store – but a letter from corporate assured us this sign is from a previous year (WOOHOO!)
So that means if you're bound and determined to get in on Target Black Friday Deals – you DON'T need to wait! If you like, you can take a look at what we already know will go on sale for Target Black Friday – and then you can buy it NOW and get a price adjustment when it goes on sale.
Or wait until December 24th to do your Black Friday shopping if you like. They'll retroactively price adjust!
Take your time and do your Black Friday Shopping – ANYTIME YOU WANT.

How Does Price Matching Work?
All year long, Target will price match within 14 days of your purchase. During the holidays, the window of time extends from October 6th – December 24th, 2022.
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. The full list of online competitors is listed further down.
To receive your adjustment: Either request a price adjustment at guest services or call 1-800-591-3869. You can also open a chat with a Target online associate. Have your proof of purchase ready.
🎄🎄 Holiday Price Match Policy🎄🎄
Starting October 6th, 2022, if you purchase an item in store or online and the price goes lower at Target on or before December 24th, 2022, you can request a price match. Proof of purchase is required for price adjustments after purchase. Target store price adjustments are completed at the store on any lane, though you'll want to go to guest services to avoid holding up a line and getting dirty looks. 😉
