Currys price promise - not as advertised?

666bxg · 2010-08-24 13:01:12

Went into a Currys store and asked if they do a price match for a tv set. The guy said yes and took details of the tv being offered cheaper in powercity. He then came back to me saying 'we don't do a price match if the item is on sale in the competitor's store....'. Is this normal practice or the salesguy was telling me…

Is this normal practice or the salesguy was telling me b*****ks? Will this constitute as false advertising?

Thanks

Ask him for the T&Cs associated with their Price Match offer. These things usually have the clause "T&Cs apply".

Nearly all price match offers from all retailers exclude sale, special reductions, ex display & inetrnet prices.
