Want to sneak in a few extra dollars from your Amazon orders? This nice man name of Jim has a tip for you regarding Amazon’s price drop policy. It’s pretty simple, really.

It seems that Amazon will guarantee their price for up to thirty days, even if the item was on sale or had a ‘Buy Both and Save’ deal. Just take a look through your last month’s orders, see if the prices are any lower, and send Amazon a quick email for a reimbursement.

It’s a good tip, although only moderately useful right now. A quick perusal of our last month of Amazon orders shows that most of the prices have gone up, not down, after Christmas.
