How do you get an EB Games price match?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Your best chance of getting an EB Games price match is to visit your local store in a shopping centre where competitors are displaying the products you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go photograph or obtain hard evidence from the competition and then politely approach the EB Games manager in-store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not assume it will be granted or that you will receive a better price than the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some gamers have been advised that they can pre-order games and request a price match at the time of pick up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does EB Games price match in-store?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As a rule, no. But there is managerial discretion applied. Do not expect any price matching on goods that are not like for like, or not brand new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price matching \u2018may\u2019 be possible on already-released games, new releases, and board games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not expect a price match on pre-owned games, pre-releases, or new games where there may be a premium applied, special terms\/offers, or trade-ins. Playstation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X and other consoles are unlikely to be price-matched.
You should realistically expect to pay full price on Pokemon, trading cards, figurines, stickers or specialist gaming kits such as headsets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does EB Games price match online?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There is no evidence that EB Games will price match online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDigging into the terms and conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n- items out of stock<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- short-dated<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- on clearance or discontinued<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- part of a promotional offer (e.g. buy one get one free)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- purchases made through Click and Collect options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You may be able to receive a price match when paying with gift cards and any price match should be confirmed before pick up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Price Adjustment policy of the EB Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is no formal price adjustment policy across EB Games Australia. Rather, consumers need to be educated before purchasing in-store. However, there are several things you could do to level the playing field:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Depending on the type of product, you could return it and then repurchase the goods elsewhere. You\u2019ll need to ensure the goods are unopened\/damaged and understand the returns policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Discuss a discount on those or further goods, based on your ongoing business.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFrequent Flyer and Loyalty Programs supported by EB Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If saving money by price matching makes you happy, then you are going to be disappointed to hear that EB Games does not directly have a preferred loyalty program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I earn Frequent Flyer Points with EB Games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, you can\u2019t directly earn or redeem Qantas Frequent Flyer Points<\/a>, Velocity Frequent Flyer Points<\/a> or American Express Membership Rewards<\/a> with EB Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to use Gift Cards at EB Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You can buy gift cards at EB Games and there is no reason why you can\u2019t ask for a price match when using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alternative Payment Options at the EB Games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Klarna and PayPal in 4 are available, as well as Zip Pay and Afterpay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Buy Now, Pay Later services (BNPL) have dramatically increased in popularity and the two of the biggest are now firmly embedded into the EB Games retail system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will EB Games price match competitors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nAmazon vs EB Games price match<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You will have little to no chance of gaining a price match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Good Guys vs EB Games price match<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You have a reasonable chance of success if you ask nicely and there is a local The Good Guys<\/a> store nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTarget vs EB Games price match<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Target should be considered a competitor for more of the basic merchandise such as games titles, give it a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JB Hi-Fi vs EB Games price match<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You probably have the best chance of success when price matching against a JB Hi-Fi store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBigW vs EB Games price match<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can only ask and hope for a BigW price match<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHarvey Norman vs EB Games price match<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Not big on gaming titles, but more on electronics, give a Harvey Norman price match<\/a> a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
EB Games may not have a formal price match policy, but that doesn't mean you're stuck paying full price. Managers at stores with nearby competition \u2014 particularly Big W and JB Hi-Fi \u2014 will often match on the spot if you ask politely and come prepared with evidence. Your best chance is in a shopping centre where competitors are trading side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond price matching, EB Games offers something neither JB Hi-Fi nor Big W can: the Zero Regrets trade policy. For regular gamers who buy, complete, and trade titles, that's a genuine long-term saving that adds up faster than any one-off price match. Pair it with an EB World membership and BNPL through Afterpay or Zip and you have a solid toolkit for keeping your gaming spend under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
