Smartwatch Price Protection

Anonymous — Thu, 15 Sep 2016 17:07:27 GMT

My sister and I separately contacted Discover Card and received contradicting information on whether or not smart watches are covered under the price protection program. It seems that even Discover IT is unclear whether a smart watch is considered jewelry (which is excluded) or technology (which is covered). Wondering if anyone has had experience with filing a price protection claim for a smartwatch purchase, with Discover, Chase, or any other credit card?

Im not sure of the answer but if your jewelery can take calls or make them, thats technolgy to me

I filed a price protection claim for a Huawei watch last November with Discover, and everything went smoothly.
I purchased in September so was able to get the difference between what I paid and the Black Friday deal price--believe it was $80.

Just put claim in, worst case is they decline it.
