PRICE MATCH GUARANTEE

Does the Navy Exchange offer a price matching program? YES!

  • Advertised Item

• A NEX cashier will match any advertised price reduction up to $100. An NEX supervisor must authorize a price match over $100. Customers may ask for a price adjustment at any cash register in the store. The advertised priced may be presented in the form of a printed ad or a mobile marketing device, such as a cell phone or smart phone, from a local competitor. Photographs of an item taken with a cell phone or smart phone will not be accepted.

  • Verbal Challenge

• We will also accept a customer’s verbal price challenge for an item with a price difference of $10 or less. You don’t need to bring a copy of a competitor’s advertisement for items under $10.

  • Guidelines

• Overseas NEXs will match the pricing of current mail order catalogs and e-commerce sites from Sears, J.C. Penney, Walmart and any other comparable commercial retailers with e-commerce sites. Freight charges (standard shipping rate and any surcharges, if applicable) are to be added to the competitor’s retail.

• The NEX Price Match Policy is relevant to service and retail departments with the exception of fine jewelry, automotive parts, automotive labor and service, gasoline and special orders.

• The new NEX price will be exactly the same as the competitor’s price.

• Prices are matched after any NEX savings coupons have been deducted from original price. This is not applicable to manufacturers’ vendor coupons. However, a manufacturer’s coupon cannot exceed the retail price of the product (no cash back).

• The NEX will match the shelf pricing on any wholesale club merchandise for an identical item.

• Local market area is defined as the geographic area shopped by local NEX customers, generally not beyond a 20 mile radius.

• If a competitor’s ad includes the quantity a customer can buy at an advertised price, then the NEX will maintain the same quantity limitations when the NEX meets the ad price.

• If a competitor’s advertisement indicates “limited quantities,” the NEX will not match the price.

• The NEX will match a competitor’s promotion of a free gift card or financial gift card with the purchase of an item if the identical item is available for purchase from the NEX.

• Double and triple coupons, clearance, percent and dollar off items, flea market sales, going out of business sales and commissary prices are excluded from the NEX Price Match Policy.

• The NEX will not match the price of another retailer’s item if that item includes a price reduction involving a manufacturer’s or retailer’s mail-in rebate.
