November 1 through December 16. This is breaking news from the retailer and an answer to Best Buy's recent announcement of matching online retailers.

my post about that change of policy.

Here's what Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel had to say in a media release sent to Bargain Mom this afternoon,

“Target’s holiday plans are built around an outstanding shopping experience, exclusive merchandise and competitive prices,” Steinhafel said “Our guests will be able to shop with confidence this holiday season knowing that we are intensely focused on providing them the right merchandise at the right price.”

This definitely makes holiday shopping more competitive.

Here are the details about the new price match and extended return policy:

For the first time, Target will offer guests the ability to match select online competitors' prices in its stores between Nov. 1 and Dec. 16. Qualifying online retailers include Amazon.com, Walmart.com, BestBuy.com and Toysrus.com. Additionally, Target has extended the timeframe for its Price Match Policy for the holiday season, and new this year, the policy includes Target.com. If a guest purchases a qualifying item at Target stores between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24, and then finds it for less at Target.com or in a local competitor's printed ad, Target will match that price. For more details, including terms and conditions, visit Target.com/morereasons beginning October 22.

REDcard debit and credit card holders who make a purchase as of November 1 will now receive an additional 30 days on Target's existing return policy on nearly all REDcard purchases made at Target and Target.com/redcard.

FREE WI-FI Target is now offering free WiFi in all Target stores. The service will provide better access to Target's mobile app, and enable guests to redeem Target mobile coupons and scan QR codes throughout the store and also search online for the price matching needs.

QR codes

QR codes will be displayed alongside each of Target’s top toys, allowing guests to purchase this year’s 20 hottest toys from their mobile phones and have them shipped for free to anyone, anywhere in the U.S. QR codes are also now found in the shoe section at Target stores.
