Something I’ve learned recently is that Target price matches amazon (and a number of other sites). It’s basically turned Target into a same day pickup Amazon warehouse for me. Yes, I’ve got to get to Target; but sometimes I want something the same day anyway, and even more crucial, I have a lot more confidence stuff isn’t counterfeit. (In this case though I’m sure they don’t sell this luggage brand :/)

Same as BestBuy. Actually, they price match plus 10% of the price difference. Which is awesome because I get to go pick it up, but don't have to fear the amazon knock-offs.
Do you request the price-match online at time of purchase, or after pickup?
There have been a lot of rumors about Amazon buying Target and although I do like Amazon, I hope it never happens. IMHO Target was the only online/b&m business that was competitive with Amazon prices and deals over the holidays.
How does that actually work? Do you just tell the cashier during checkout that Amazon offers a better price and they give you the discount no questions asked? Or is it more involved than that?
Target's website is awful to the point of painful, unfortunately.
