Thinking back to my biggest shopping mistake would have to be admitting that I’m not very good at shopping for cars. I don’t do the research and I am terrible at negotiating a fair price. I hate buying a car and just want to get the process over with as soon as possible. So my biggest shopping mistake was buying a car without going on-line, finding the best price, and then making the dealer I want to work with give me the best price. You can save thousands of dollars by being prepared. I’ve seen my parents do it so I know I can do it.
Next time I go buy a car look out because I’m an on-line informed shopper. My other shopping mistake was overspending. Yep I’m guilty of that too. Sigh!
I’m working with American Express Membership Rewards again to share some Savvy On-line shopping tips with you guys so you make smart purchases all the time.
How Can You Be A Savvy Shopper?
Do Your Research. You should always be in the know before you make a purchase. There are so many tools on-line to find the best price. Before buying a car you can find out how much the dealership paid for it, then you should only pay 100 to 500 more than what they paid for it. Use Consumer Reports for product information and about how much it should cost. Is it worth your money to buy. Know before you buy. While we’re thinking about cars did you know that American Express covers roadside assistance? Cardmembers can use Roadside Assistance if their car dies or blows a tire and they’re stranded. They will be covered for up to four times a year, up to $50 per service call.
Think Before You Buy. It’s very important when you’re making a purchase over 250.00 to think about it first. Make sure you need it and that you won’t regret it. Sometimes sleeping on it is much better than in impulse buy that you are going to regret.
Understand return policies. As I mentioned I’m guilty of overspending on occasion and often have buyers remorse. I’ve taken a thing or two back to the store, but you have to know before hand that the store will take things back. Also, make sure items come with a warranty so that if you get a dud and you opened the box you can still take it back. American Express Return Protection can be used when a Cardmember no longer wants an item they purchased but the merchant’s return policy has expired and they will no longer take the item back. Return Protection refunds the full purchase price of an item up to $300, excluding shipping and handling of eligible items bought with the Card for up to 90 days from the date of purchase. The maximum annual refund is $1,000 annually per Card account.
Know who you are buying from. No I’m not saying you have to personally know everyone that you buy something from. You need to make sure that people you buy from are verified sellers, or trusted retailers. Also, it’s important to understand how your credit card will protect you when you purchase something on-line from an untrusted vendor. American Express Purchase Protection can protect eligible purchases made with the Card against accidental damage and theft for up to 90 days from the date of purchase. This service can be used when something a Cardmember buys is broken or stolen. With Purchase Protection, American Express will repair, replace, or reimburse up to the amount charged to the Card, not to exceed the original purchase price. Coverage is up to $1,000 per Occurrence, up to $50,000 per Cardmember Account per Calendar Year.
When using credit make sure you’re earning points like the American Express Membership Rewards. We are always using points when we use our cards and it’s fun to redeem the points for things we need or want for Christmas. You can easily earn points on everyday items like gas, groceries, phone bills and redeem them for practical items like paying your taxes OR social efforts like donations to charities OR for the things you love – like extraordinary shopping to entertainment to travel rewards – it’s a world of possibilities and the choice is yours! There are six major points when it comes to using your American Express Membership Rewards:

The biggest online shopping mistake I ever made was using my debit card to make a Paypal payment on eBay. My Paypal was hacked and my checking account was raided! Credit cards are protected while checking accounts aren’t. That was a lesson I definitely learned the hard way.

Now I’m not sure if this happened online or in a store but someone stoled my debit card #. Didnt realize it until I went to get a metrocard and my debit card wasnt working. Went to the bank and it said insufficent funds and still didnt know what was going on…just thought that something was wrong with the ATM cause that happened before. Got to work, checked my account and saw my checkings was in the negative!!! I called the bank and they said that someone charged over a $1600 worth of men clothes at a mall in Shreveport, LA!! Meanwhile I live in NY!! The bank didnt believe that it wasnt me cause this person actually swiped a card but get this they signed a different name! I told them Ok, on the same day I was at an ATM in Soho and withdrawal $40 then I hopped on my private jet plane to go shopping in LA!! Anywho, after fighting with them and threathening to call lawyers. I got all my money back then I took it all out and went to another bank. What a nightmare!

my biggest shopping mistake was when i bought an expensive dress online and i didn’t read their return policy. it wasn’t a major website but i just assumed that if the dress didn’t fit or i didnt like it on i could return it as long as i hadnt worn it. well the dress was too small and no returns accepted! i always check return policies now.

I bought something recenty and should have read the reviews. The clothing item was not made well and ripped, returned it to Nordstroms and ripped the second time. What a headache and now have to return it again.

My biggest shopping mistake was EBay related and it happened enough years ago that at that time PayPal covered 100% – but- I bought our first ‘real’ computer on EBay from a seller who never delivered it was Christmastime when money was tight. What I learned is always check the sellers rep!

My biggest shopping mistake was accidentally ordering 2 high priced items on Amazon. I was unable to cancel the order so the money was withdrawn from my account 2 times instead of 1! That sure caused a lot of problems for me! Then it took 5 days for it to be credited back! I must be more careful next time!!

My biggest shopping mistake is being in a hurry, or going in the store depressed. I tend to overspend, get unnecessary items as I do better shopping alone when I have time to do so.

I’m with you! My biggest shopping mistake I ever made occurred when I was nine-teen. I walked into a car dealership to “browse” and came out w/ a car that was WAY overpriced.
These are all great tips. Thanks!
Not finding coupons and paying full price. Ugghhh I hate that!

sometimes I impulse buy things cause it takes just a click and I don’t really have to think about it… :/
I very rarely pay full price for things for myself or my kids, but inevitably, when I do, I find the same things on sale THE NEXT DAY! Drives me crazy!

When I was pregnant I wanted to buy the baby a changing table. I ordered it online. When it came it was the top of the unit not the actual changing table. It would have cost an arm and a leg to return it so Hubs said we would keep it and buy the bottom part. Pregnancy brain, ack

I recently took over a year to research refrigerators.. there were so many to choose from. Then one day my fridge finally made me mad enough and I went down to the store, picked one out, bought it. No taking notes from my research, nothing. Now I have a fridge who’s freezer likes to occasionally go to about -50F. ooh and it’s well documented on online review sites lol. dumb decision!
My biggest shopping mistake would be not shopping out of season for the kids clothes like I used to. Now, I’m having to scramble or not get as many clothes because of our budget.

My biggest mistake is not checking size charts! Sometimes I order my kids a size medium, and when it’s delivered, I realize its a toddler size medium! Annoying! I’ve done it with shoes for them too. A toddler size 1 and a kids size 1 are a big difference!

My biggest shopping mistakes mostly happen from buying off of Ebay. I’ve bought several things that were not represented honestly; clothes that looked great in the auction listing but when they arrived they smelled bad or had buttons missing, or damage.

My biggest shopping mistake is buying something just because it is on sale/great deal….not because I feel fabulous in it.
I had a credit with an online site – I was so antsy to use it that I used it on something silly (it was a little table for my daughter that sits about 6″ off the floor so you can use cushions…have I bought cushions for it? no…has my husband even put the table together? no) and WAY too expensive. I wish I would have held onto it and used it for lots of little stuff!

recently i was saving to buy a much needed double stroller. I found a deal on a website on one that was being sold as a floor model. It was stated there were no returns unless misrepresented. The description said there were a couple minor scratches in the frame, everything else was prefect. When I received the stroller the front wheel did not move making it pretty much unusable. I tried to contact the company to tell them I felt it had been misrepresented. Well they had gone out of business just days after my ordering! I found a facebook page for them and let them know my problem and they said , basically, too bad for you! So I was stuck with an unusable stroller and had spent all the money I had saved for a couple years, little by little.

My biggest online shopping mistake was buying something electronic on eBay and it didn’t work. Then, the seller said he’d replace it if I sent it back, which I did. He claimed he never received it. So, I was out the device and the return shipment cost.

My biggest mistake was paying with an echeck to a vendor I’d never heard of before. I never got my merchandise and aa few months later I got suspicious checks going through my bank account – it took over a month to unwind all the damage done.

My biggest shopping mistake was ordering from a website online that had a no return policy! I ordered $400 worth of clothing that did not fit and it could not be returned.

Aww that pic is so cute! My biggest shopping mistake was shopping with a online store that I didn’t know the return policy of. I wanted a pair of shoes that were sold out everywhere else, I got them but they were the wrong size, I returned them so I could get a size exchange….my return took a month to process! By that time, the shoes were out of stock, and I was left with only “store credit”. 🙁 I learned to shop with trusted online stores after that!

I would have to say that my biggest shopping mistake was buying shoes from a company that refuses to take returns. I couldn’t even get them on my foot, and I ordered a size larger than usual. But they refused to discuss it. I would have been happy to just have store credit. But NO!!!!

My biggest online shopping mistake has been to sign up for one of those sites that charge you a monthly fee, but then gives you that amount as a credit to spend. my girlfriend decided she wanted some earrings, but, through no fault of hers, it became a nightmare experience. Well, I immediately tried to cancel, and they said they did cancel my account, but my credit card kept getting charged… I finally had to change my credit card #. Such a hassle because then I had to notify all merchants that I made auto-payments with.
Thanks for the chance to win!

My biggest shopping mistake was an online shopping mistake. I bought a computer without an OS since I had one. There was a problem with the motherboard but since I hadn’t gotten an OS they said there was nothing they would do about it. So, basically it was a total waste of money. And, a big lesson learned.

Big mistake–ordering according to the number size without looking for the measurements. Mostly it’s okay with clothes marked S, M, L, but number sizes aren’t always consistent. I have had to return several things that did not fit.

Research the price and deals. Nothing makes me crazier than buying something and realizing I had a coupon at home or could have gotten a better price elsewhere. Know what you plan to buy and what it costs then see if you can find it for less!

I had ordered a set of glasses from germany. they were going to be for my father inlaw. The site was shady but i went and ordered them anyway.. well needless to say they charged my card for them but they never arrived and when i went back to site to get a phone number or contact them there was none. The email i sent was never returned.. that was my one and only time getting scammed.

My biggest shopping mistake was in trusting the sellers on Amazon.com that are not associated directly with Amazon. I ordered what was described as a 6 pack of laundry detergent for $30 and a 3 pack of fabric softener for $15. What I got was one of each for that price and a “sorry for your luck” email from Amazon when I complained with them stating that they can’t help me with anything when its not shipped directly from them. NEVER again!!!!

I ordered a Playstation 3 for my husband and it didn’t work and looked dirty as if it had been used. I got my money back minus a restocking fee!!!!!

Biggest shopping mistake I’ve made is not buying a gas stove. Lots of regret.
My biggest shopping mistake was a Portable TV that I purchased in the event of power outages, come to find out the rechargeable battery only lasts 2 hours

bought something I thought was good deal imagination tv last year and died 3 months later. Then they just gave me money back since it could not be fixed.
love the idea they give
My biggest mistake has been not buying a protection plan on certain items. Anything my daughter gets too close to she will likely break!
