 TITLE: What Is Price Protection and Which Credit Cards Offer It? CONTENT: Alternatives to Credit Card Price Protection\n--------------------------------------------\nYour credit card's price protection isn't the only way to ensure that you're getting the best available price. For example, Sift and Earny, as well as Paribus, which is owned by Capital One, also take advantage of retailers' price protection policies. (Note: Paribus doesn't charge a fee for its service.)\nSo even if your credit card doesn't offer the perk, you can still register and get refunds on price drops if you qualify for price protection with the services' participating retailers.\nAlso, some retailers offer to match a competitor's price, which can come in handy if you prefer a certain retailer over another, but their price for an item isn't the best available. Some retailers will even price match an item from a competitor after you've bought it, as long as it's within the predetermined timeframe.\nThe downside to working with retailer price protection and price matching policies is that you have to do a lot of the legwork on your own, which can be challenging and time-consuming. So it's definitely worth considering signing up for an app that will do the work for you, even if it charges for doing so. END
