price drop refund hunter
Example session with this skill installed
I bought a Sony WH-1000XM5 from Best Buy yesterday for $399. Order #112-445566. Can you watch this for me?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the price drop refund
I have logged your purchase and started tracking the price for recovery opportunities. Best Buy has one of the strongest formal policies, allowing price matches and adjustments within your 15-day return window (or 60 days if you are a Plus/Total member).
Purchase Logged: Sony WH-1000XM5
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Retailer | Best Buy |
| Item | Sony WH-1000XM5 |
| Price Paid | $399.00 |
| Order ID | 112-445566 |
| Adjustment Window | Closes: Oct 25, 2023 (15 days) |
| Return Window | Closes: Oct 25, 2023 (15 days) |
| Tracking Status | Active (Weekly Sweep scheduled) |
Initial Price Check:
I performed an immediate check. Best Buy current price is $399.00. Amazon (direct competitor) is currently $398.00. Since the net recovery is only $1.00, I am not recommending a claim at this time per the $2.00 minimum threshold. I will alert you immediately if the price drops to $397.00 or lower.
Next steps
- I will check this price again every Sunday morning.
- If you are a Best Buy Plus or Total member, let me know to extend your tracking window to 60 days.
- Forward any other receipts to add them to the recovery log.

About this skill
The problem
Retail prices fluctuate daily after you checkout, and return windows often expire unnoticed. Manually monitoring every receipt for price drops or shipping deadlines is a time-consuming chore that most developers ignore, leaving hundreds of dollars in unclaimed refunds on the table every year.
What it does
- Logs purchase data from receipts, emails, or photos and tracks return and price-adjustment deadlines automatically.
- Performs a weekly "price sweep" by searching for current SKU prices at original retailers and direct competitors.
- Calculates net recovery value by subtracting shipping fees, restocking costs, and effort from potential savings.
- Generates ready-to-send claim templates tailored to specific retailer policies like Amazon, Best Buy, and Costco.
- Monitors shelf-vs-register pricing errors for immediate dispute during or after in-store shopping trips.
Frameworks & tools
Integrates with existing email and calendar tools for receipt ingestion and deadline reminders. Uses web search for real-time price verification and policy lookups.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
DIY prompting requires you to remember to check prices and manually look up store policies for every item. This skill maintains a persistent stateful log, handles the math on net recovery, and understands the nuanced differences between a "price match" and a "price adjustment" across dozens of retailers.
Use cases
- Recovering the difference when a laptop goes on sale three days after you bought it.
- Receiving a 48-hour warning before a 90-day return window closes on a holiday gift.
- Drafting a formal request to a store manager when a register price exceeds the shelf tag.
- Auditing a month of Amazon receipts to find batchable price-drop claims.
Known limitations
Does not support digital subscriptions or pre-purchase deal hunting. Cannot submit claims or contact retailers directly. Results for marketplace sellers (eBay, 3rd-party) are limited to return windows as price adjustments rarely apply.
