Went into Staples yesterday to price match an Epson 820 Photo Stylus printer. Their price was $99 and the net price was $83 and then I wanted to use the $15 off $75 coupon. The manager (whom Ive known for years) explained that he had just gotten back from a managers meeting and they were informed they can only price match retail stores or if its a print out off the net, it must be from a company who has a retail store front. I ended up pricematching to Costco who had the printer for $89 but my local store wasout of stock. I drove 18 miles to the next Staples and tried the process all over again and the employee there told me that yesterday his manager had informed all the employees that there would be no more price matching to internet stores. This was in Alabama, so maybe its not corporate wide.
