Walmart Savings Catcher Launches Nationwide 8/4/14 along with the Cyber Monday Back to School Event

I had an executive conference call with Walmart and I’m so excited to share with you some great things coming very soon for Back to School and Back to College. Walmart was really excited about the back to school and I am too, but one term the big news is that Savings Catcher is launching nationwide!!! Booyah Baby, it is here!!!

Back to school is one of the biggest times the year for Walmart. This year they’re making it even better all of us by having a huge cyber Monday back-to-school event. There will be over 400 items on the rollback or special prices that day that will help you save on all your back-to-school needs. They are even including hundreds of household items so basically it’s just one big sale.

There are three big things that I took out of the conference call that I want to tell you about!

1. Back to School Cyber Monday Sale August 4th.

2. Savings Catcher is rolling out nationwide the same day August 4th. It will include Household Goods along with the Grocery Items that you can save money on! THAT MEANS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE IT FOR BACK TO SCHOOL!

3. Walmart will be participating in Tax Free Weekends this year ONLINE on Walmart.com and at your local stores.

WALMART SAVINGS CATCHER DETAILS:

Here’s how it works:

Submit your receipt to Savings Catcher in any one of two ways:
- Enter the receipt number (the TC number) into Savings Catcher at Walmart.com/savingscatcher. You’ll find this number located near the bottom of your printed Walmart store receipt.
- Or, scan the code at the bottom of your printed store receipt, using the scanner in the Savings Catcher section of the Walmart app.
Savings Catcher compares the prices of the eligible items you bought at Walmart to the advertised prices found in the print and online versions of the weekly ads of top retailers in your area. The ads must be valid at the time you made your Walmart purchase.
If Savings Catcher finds an advertised price that is lower than what you paid for the same exact item at Walmart, you’ll get back the difference on a Walmart Rewards eGift Card.

Is there a minimum purchase required?

No. There is no minimum purchase requirement. Simply submit your receipt to get started.

How many receipts can I submit?

You can submit up to 7 receipts per week to Savings Catcher.

Is Savings Catcher available on my smartphone?

Yes. You can access Savings Catcher by downloading the Walmart app or by going to www.walmart.com/savingscatcher on your smartphone.

What types of promotions does Savings Catcher include?

Savings Catcher compares eligible items on your receipt to items found in the print and digital weekly ads of top retailers in your area. The ads must be valid at the time you made your Walmart purchase and include a specific item price.

What types of promotions does Savings Catcher not include?

Savings Catcher does not compare the following types of offers:

Items that require a separate purchase to get the advertised price (example: “Buy oatmeal to get cereal for $1.”)
Items with no actual price that require a purchase to get a free product (example: “Buy both oatmeal & cereal to get milk for free.”)
Items that require a purchase to get a gift card (example: “Buy a 12 pack of paper towels to get a $5 gift card.”)
Buy one get one free (BOGO) deals where no item price is listed (example: Peter Pan Peanut Butter, buy one, get one free. Save up to $2.50.”)
Going out of business or closeout prices.
Percentage off (example: “All mascara, 40% off.)

Does Savings Catcher apply to my online purchases?

No. Savings Catcher applies to your in-store purchases only.

Do my savings accumulate?

That’s entirely up to you. You have the option to accumulate your Rewards Dollars and build your balance in Savings Catcher or transfer it onto a Walmart Rewards eGift Card whenever and as often as you choose. If you haven’t redeemed your Rewards Dollars at the end of the calendar year, Walmart will automatically transfer them onto a Walmart Rewards eGift Card and notify you.

What happens if I use coupons?

No problem, you can still use Savings Catcher. If you use a coupon, Savings Catcher will compare the original Walmart price of the item, before the coupon was applied, to other stores’ advertised prices for the same item. For example: You bought cookies at Walmart. The shelf price was $3 and you used a coupon for $0.25, so you paid $2.75. If Savings Catcher finds that a competitor advertised those same cookies for $2.00, Savings Catcher will still credit you $1.00, even though you paid only $2.75 at Walmart.

Receipt Entry

How do I submit my receipt?

There are two ways for you to submit your store receipt:

Enter the receipt number (the TC number) into Savings Catcher at Walmart.com/savingscatcher. You’ll find this number located near the bottom of your printed Walmart store receipt.
Or, scan the code at the bottom of the printed store receipt, using the scanner in the Savings Catcher section of the Walmart app.

Can I submit old receipts?

Your receipt needs to be 7 days old or less. For example, if you shopped on Tuesday, you have until the following Monday to submit your receipt.

What if I lost my receipt before I had the chance to submit it?

For Savings Catcher to work, we need to have the TC number and date from your receipt. We cannot process your receipt without it.

The Savings Catcher App is just that, it “catches” savings that you might have missed. If you are price matching items and forgot one, or just didn’t realized an item was cheaper at another store, this automated app will find that savings and Walmart will issue you a egift card for the difference. If that wasn’t enough excitement, Saving Catcher is expanding and will have 100,000 Grocery and General Merchandise items included in this program. How convenient is that!

These are just some ways that Walmart is our Low Price Leader.
