Default Sometimes I really love Sears

If you dislike Sears then don't read any further:

Last week I bought their 21254 Compoumd Miter saw for $199 less
Craftsman club discount of 10%. Tonight I was in there and lo & behold,
the saw is now $159 *AND* the Craftsman club discount is still in
effect. They have a 30 day refund the difference price guarantee so I
got a $38 refund. End result was I got the saw for $144 + tax. Not too
shabby!

I always ask Sears when the thingy I am about to buy is going on sale
next. They will tell you how far out it will be, if at all. Then I ask
if they will give me the sale price. If the sale is within 30 days I
have never been refused. The other thing I do is ask if this is the
best price they can do. Every once in a while they will dicker a
little, especially if I can show them the article is lower some other
place. Just good to know ...

Sometimes if you get close to a sales person they will even pullout a
discount coupon on top of the sale or as I did had one of them use there
employ discount on top also.
If you suck up to them and talk tool talk or give them added pointers on a
product they will help you out also..
All the about have worked in my favor.

Did they also include the additional 10% of the difference like they do with
a competitors add?
