Get money back when a price drops after you buy
Services watch your receipts and request price adjustments when a retailer cuts the price.
What happened
Pap!, a Y Combinator company, scans shopping receipts in your email, tracks prices, and has an agent contact customer service for the adjustment; it charges a commission on what it recovers. Earny took a similar approach years earlier.
Our verdict
Real money that most people leave on the table, but only within each retailer's price-adjustment window.
Tools
Pap!, Earny-style services; or a chat assistant to check one purchase
Prompt to copy
I bought [item] from [retailer] on [date] for [price]. It is now listed at [new price]. Check [retailer]'s price-adjustment policy and my card's price-protection terms if you can find them, and write a short request for the difference.
Before you try it: These services read your email. Commission models keep a share of what they recover.
