Does JCPenney Price Match? Rules for Black Friday

Yes. JCPenney matches identical items at any retailer's advertised prices, with no blackout dates. Marketplaces, auctions and club card prices are out.

Bottom Line

Yes. JCPenney matches any retailer's in-store and online prices, including items sold by Amazon.com. It does not match marketplaces, third party sellers such as deal websites, or auctions. The item must be identical: same brand, style, color, size, model number and so on. The price must be a current advertised price, so unadvertised in-store prices do not count. JCPenney won't match a competitor's clearance, closeout, coupon-required or club and loyalty card prices, or items the competitor has out of stock, and shipping is not included. It also matches JCPenney.com prices on in-store purchases and vice versa, except clearance pricing and online only coupons. The holiday news is good: there are no blackout dates, and the guarantee runs 365 days a year, including Black Friday. Purchases in Alaska and Puerto Rico are excluded.

Follow-up questions

Does JCPenney price match Amazon?
Yes, for items sold by Amazon.com. It does not match items sold by a third party on Amazon.com. Marketplaces, deal websites and auctions are also excluded.
Can JCPenney match a price after I buy?
Yes. If the lower price is still valid, present the qualifying ad with your JCPenney receipt within 14 days of purchase, and JCPenney will reimburse the difference. For online purchases, call Customer Care.
Can I use a coupon with a price match?
Yes. All eligible coupons and discounts, including employee discounts, are applied after the price match is made. JCPenney does not add an extra percentage off when it matches a competitor's price.
What proof do I need to bring?
Bring the complete original ad so the associate can see the full item description and pricing. Photocopies and mobile phone versions may be accepted, but JCPenney may verify the details. If you call Customer Care, the price must be in an online ad an associate can access.

What to do

Pull up the full competitor ad before you go and make sure the model number, size and color line up exactly. Keep your receipt handy for 14 days in case you find a lower advertised price.
