That said, individual store managers have been known to exercise discretion. It's worth asking in-store politely, but don't count on it and never expect it online.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-does-big-w-price-match-electronics\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Does Big W price match electronics?<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Very unlikely. Electronics are one of the harder categories to get approved even with managerial discretion, as Big W tends to position its electronics pricing as already competitive. Your better bet is to compare against JB Hi-Fi or The Good Guys, both of which have formal price match policies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-does-big-w-price-match-online-goods\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Does Big W price match online?<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>No. There is no mechanism to request a price adjustment at online checkout, and the customer service chatbot will confirm Big W does not price match. If you find a lower price online elsewhere and delivery terms are comparable, you're better off buying from that retailer and using a cashback portal like ShopBack or TopCashback to maximise your savings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Does Big W price match Target?<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Worth trying in-store. Both Big W and Target compete directly in the discount variety space, and anecdotal reports suggest this is one of the more likely approvals under managerial discretion. Bring a screenshot or catalogue showing the Target price and ask to speak with a supervisor rather than floor staff.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Can I still save money at Big W without a price match?<\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Yes \u2014 use ShopBack or TopCashback for up to 2.5% cashback on online purchases, and link your Everyday Rewards card to earn Woolworths points that convert to Qantas Frequent Flyer points. For big-ticket items, these stack into a meaningful saving even without a formal price match.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you need more price match information?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We also cover these retailers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/blog\/chemist-warehouse-price-match-guide\/\" title=\"Get your Chemist Warehouse Price Match now!\">Chemist Warehouse<br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/blog\/jb-hi-fi-price-match-guide\/\" title=\"Get your JB Hi Fi Price Match now!\">JB Hi-Fi<br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/blog\/good-guys-price-match-guide\/\" title=\"Get your Good Guys Price Match now!\">The Good Guys<br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/blog\/bunnings-price-match-guide\/\" title=\"Does Bunnings Price Match?

That said, individual store managers have been known to exercise discretion. It's worth asking in-store politely, but don't count on it and never expect it online."},{"hidden":false,"question":"Does Big W price match electronics?","schemaBlockId":"aioseo-lwgbfn31","tagName":"h3","anchor":"aioseo-does-big-w-price-match-electronics","type":"aioseo\/faq","answer":"Very unlikely. Electronics are one of the harder categories to get approved even with managerial discretion, as Big W tends to position its electronics pricing as already competitive. Your better bet is to compare against JB Hi-Fi or The Good Guys, both of which have formal price match policies."},{"hidden":false,"question":"Does Big W price match online?","schemaBlockId":"aioseo-lwgbfngj","tagName":"h3","anchor":"aioseo-does-big-w-price-match-online-goods","type":"aioseo\/faq","answer":"No. There is no mechanism to request a price adjustment at online checkout, and the customer service chatbot will confirm Big W does not price match. If you find a lower price online elsewhere and delivery terms are comparable, you're better off buying from that retailer and using a cashback portal like ShopBack or TopCashback to maximise your savings."},{"hidden":false,"question":"Does Big W price match Target?","schemaBlockId":"aioseo-mp85i8cu","tagName":"h3","type":"aioseo\/faq","answer":"Worth trying in-store. Both Big W and Target compete directly in the discount variety space, and anecdotal reports suggest this is one of the more likely approvals under managerial discretion. Bring a screenshot or catalogue showing the Target price and ask to speak with a supervisor rather than floor staff."},{"hidden":false,"question":"Can I still save money at Big W without a price match?","schemaBlockId":"aioseo-mp85iall","tagName":"h3","type":"aioseo\/faq","answer":"Yes \u2014 use ShopBack or TopCashback for up to 2.5% cashback on online purchases, and link your Everyday Rewards card to earn Woolworths points that convert to Qantas Frequent Flyer points. For big-ticket items, these stack into a meaningful saving even without a formal price match."}],"customGraphs":[],"default":{"data":{"Article":[],"Course":[],"Dataset":[],"FAQPage":[],"Movie":[],"Person":[],"Product":[],"ProductReview":[],"Car":[],"Recipe":[],"Service":[],"SoftwareApplication":[],"WebPage":[]},"graphName":"BlogPosting","isEnabled":true},"graphs":[]},"schema_type":"default","schema_type_options":null,"pillar_content":false,"robots_default":true,"robots_noindex":false,"robots_noarchive":false,"robots_nosnippet":false,"robots_nofollow":false,"robots_noimageindex":false,"robots_noodp":false,"robots_notranslate":false,"robots_max_snippet":"-1","robots_max_videopreview":"-1","robots_max_imagepreview":"large","priority":null,"frequency":"default","local_seo":null,"seo_analyzer_scan_date":"2026-05-16 10:33:16","breadcrumb_settings":null,"limit_modified_date":false,"reviewed_by":"1","open_ai":null,"ai":{"faqs":[],"keyPoints":[],"schemas":[],"titles":[],"descriptions":[],"socialPosts":{"email":[],"linkedin":[],"twitter":[],"facebook":[],"instagram":[]}},"created":"2025-08-01 00:00:22","updated":"2026-05-16 10:33:16"},"aioseo_breadcrumb":"<div class=\"aioseo-breadcrumbs\"><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\" title=\"Home\">Home<\/a>\n<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">\u00bb<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/blog\/\" title=\"Blog\">Blog<\/a>\n<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb-separator\">\u00bb<\/span><span class=\"aioseo-breadcrumb\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/blog_tag\/blog\/\" title=\"blog\">blog<\/a>\n<\/span><\/div>","aioseo_breadcrumb_json":[{"label":"Home","link":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals"},{"label":"Blog","link":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/blog\/"},{"label":"blog","link":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/blog_tag\/blog\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/61638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/blog"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61638"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/61638\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91269,"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog\/61638\/revisions\/91269"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"blog_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog_tag?post=61638"},{"taxonomy":"blog_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thechampagnemile.com.au\/deals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/blog_category?post=61638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
