How Does Price Matching Work?
-
MEC offers price matching to ensure our members get the best price. If you find a lower price on an identical product within 30 days after your purchase, you can submit a price matching request.
-
To qualify, the sale or lower price must be available for purchase at the time of your request. In-store visits are encouraged where possible.
-
Membership requirement: You must be an MEC member and have made the purchase using your membership. Price matching is not available for guest purchases.
