On the off chance that someone may know, I know that some stores will refund the difference between the full and sale price if you buy an item for full price and it goes on sale soon thereafter. Anyone know if REI will do this?

I bought a rather expensive pair of backpacking boots there last Saturday. Received their sale (starting tomorrow) flyer today in the mail and see that the very boots are $35 off! URG... I am seriously considering going to the store tomorrow, receipt in hand, to see if I can get the difference credited, since it's been less than a week.

Anyone ever tried or done this? I'm an REI member, if it makes any difference, and the boots were even charged on an REI Visa. My DH and I spend a lot at REI; in fact, the tent we are interested in and the sleeping bag I am interested in are also on sale, and we may be purchasing those this weekend as well. But any chance to save some $$ is always appreciated.

Thanks!
