Amazon.com  discontinued their price protection policy last year. However, they did give me a $60 credit when the price of the Kindle I bought two weeks ago dropped by $60.00. You can read the details HERE  in my article.

PriceProtectr.com is a site I wrote about on February 3rd in an article called “Websites That Can Save You Money”. You can register your purchase with Price Protector and they will email you if the price drops.

For more detailed information and information about price protection policies for items ordered online, check the store’s website.
