Ummm, Lego is excluded from the gift card offer. Yes, that's right, we're back to square one.

Haha, yea I know LEGO was excluded from the Gift card, but for Non-LEGO purchases, can I use the rewards and get the Gift card?

I think that's a yes and I did that.  I used a 15% off coupon also, but it benefited me more than the gift card offer in one case, so I used it instead.

I'm surprised they didn't exclude LEGO from their price match guarantee.

I don’t see the “in-stock” clause.

 

And the 14 days is good for competitors door busters items.

Is there any difference between item prices on Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com and in Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us stores?

Pricing, promotions, styles and availability may vary by store and online. If you find an identical item sold in Toys“R”Us or Babies“R”Us stores and available for less on Toysrus.com and Babiesrus.com, we will match the online price.

What qualifies as proof of a price?

For printed ads, present the entire printed advertisement. Photos or photocopies of the ad cannot be accepted as verification of a competitor’s printed ad. Digital versions of printed advertisements are accepted. For online prices, simply present the price from a qualifying competitor’s website, Toysrus.com or Babiesrus.com on your mobile device. Our Team Member will then verify the match.

Does an item have to be in stock to receive a price match?

Competitors’ online items must be in stock at the time a price match is requested. Customers who visit a Toys“R”Us or Babies“R”Us store due to out of stock issues on Toysrus.com or Babiesrus.com may request a price adjustment when applicable. Rain checks are not given for price match requests if items are out of stock at a store or at Toysrus.com or Babiesrus.com.

Can I use a coupon with the Price Match Promise?

When shopping with a coupon, we will apply the matched price OR the coupon–whichever provides the better discount.

Can a Team Member discount be used with the Price Match Promise?

A Team Member discount can be used. The discount will be applied after the price is matched.

If an item I previously purchased is now a part of a Toys“R”Us or Babies“R”Us Buy One Get One (BOGO) or Gift with Purchase (GWP) promotion, can I get an adjustment?

If your purchase was made at a Toys“R”Us or Babies“R”Us store within the allowable price adjustment period (14 days), and the price points of all applicable items being purchased are clearly listed, we will grant a price match for you to receive the BOGO or GWP offer. The items that were purchased to qualify for the BOGO or GWP item will receive the current retail price with the promotion.

Can a Team Member discount be used when price matching an item?

A Team Member discount can be used when price matching.

If an item I previously purchased is now a part of a Toys”R”Us or Babies”R”Us Buy One, Get One free (BOGO) or Gift with Purchase (GWP) promotion, can I get an adjustment?

If your purchase was made at Toys”R”Us or Babies”R”Us within the allowable price adjustment period (14 days), and the price point of all applicable items being purchased are clearly listed, we will grant a price match for you to receive the BOGO or GWP offer. The items that were purchased to qualify for the BOGO or GWP item will receive the current retail price with the promotion.

What do I do if I find an error on Toysrus.com or Babiesrus.com?

Despite our best efforts, a small number of items on the site may be mispriced, described inaccurately, or unavailable. We may experience lags in uploading updates throughout the site and in our advertising on other sites.

I did a ctrl-F for “in stock”. Missed it. Exclusions make it the same as always. They could just say we’re donating a dollar. I thought they were loosening exclusions to increase usage.

I guess not.

IF the company is able to hit SOME financial targets this upcoming holiday season. Hmmm. I️ wonder how low they actually set the bar.

That would explain why the Lego exclusion got removed from the reward points redemption.

[Alpinemaps]

We aren’t getting TRUST this year, are we?

[JimboJet]

I was told by an employee TRUST was coming back in late November, but since Lego is excluded it doesn't matter if they go TRUSMTWTFS.

At least the points can be used on Lego again.
