New Price Alerts in Your Mailbox Help You Shop the Best Deal
Edison Mail puts price protection in your mailbox for money back on what you already bought.
Edison Mail’s new Price Alert monitors online price changes at top retailers throughout the USA that have price match policies in place.
Once enabled, the app will track your purchases and watch for a price drop of more than $1.00, and alert you of potential cash back deals.
It’s no secret that today’s consumers are smarter than ever when it comes to saving money while they shop. Retailers compete for your attention by offering special sales in store, online and across social media, while also tapping into every holiday season on the calendar. Many of us are left conducting extensive research, price comparisons, couponing and more to get the best deal possible. Yet still, we all inevitably wonder — did I pay the right price for what I bought?
Since launching in 2016, Edison Mail has proven itself to be more than just an email app — it is a thoughtful AI-based assistant to help consumers fight email overload. With its lauded Unsubscribe functionality to get rid of junk mail in just one tap, and a streamlined way for consumers to manage everyday essentials and purchases — from packages to track, travel itineraries, entertainment, reservations, bills, and more — Edison Mail strives to be a more efficient way to bring order to the chaos of digital life.
That’s why Edison Mail’s new iOS release today is intended to go one step further to help consumers across the country. Introducing Price Alert, a new feature that notifies you when the price of your recent purchase drops so you can request a refund for the difference from the store right from your mailbox. We are happy to be the first mail app to offer built-in price protection for consumers, so saving money is as easy as firing off an email.
Put Cash Back in Your Pocket After You Already Bought Something
Edison Mail’s Price Alert helps you shop with confidence that you’re not missing out on a chance to get some cash back. You don’t have to sign up for any extra service — just activate Price Alert for the mail accounts you want the app to monitor for price changes, then do your normal shopping. Edison Mail will take care of the rest while the receipts in your inbox help save you money in the event that a price drops.
Price Alert appears in the app’s Bills & Receipts assistant menu, and goes additional steps beyond just categorizing receipts. Edison Mail’s proprietary AI-based technology protects your purchases by monitoring the stores you shop at for items you recently bought, then notifying you if the price of an item you recently purchased drops more than $1. The app will even provide a suggested email template for you to customize and consider sending to the store to ensure the refund process is simple.
Edison Mail’s Price Alert monitors online price changes at top retailers throughout the USA that have price match policies in place, so it’s worth reaching out to request refunds for price drops. Popular stores supported by Price Alert include Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Old Navy, Macy’s, Nike, Target, Walmart, and many more.
Email is the Heart of Your Digital Ecosystem — and Will Stay That Way
After being around for more than forty years, email remains the most reliable and universal way to communicate online. Even today in 2019, no matter how many accounts you make on the internet for social media, shopping, paying bills, etc., they all point back to you at your email address. Email simply remains the standard online home from which you conduct your digital life and identity.
The natural evolution of managing your digital identity from your mailbox means that more and more processes from your offline life — things like contacting a store you frequent for a refund or getting the phone number for a hotel you’re staying at — will continue to move online as well. This is why Edison Mail will continue to add smart features to simplify these types of tasks. We will keep up with the needs of our users so you can spend less time having to swim through mail to get things done and more time living your life.
As of Summer 2022, Price Alert is no longer available. We made the difficult decision to sunset this feature in order to focus our resources on other features we feel will bring greater value to our consumers. To learn more, please check out our FAQ.
