It appears amazon just ended their 30 day price drop refund policy. From an email I just got in response to a request for a $5.00 refund:

Only orders placed before September 1, 2008 are eligible for a price difference refund under the Post-Order Price Guarantee policy. As of September 1, 2008 we are no longer offering discounts if prices change on our website after you make a purchase.

Yes, that blows. In extreme cases, when the price of an item drops enough to warrant this, I guess one could return an item and order the same one at the lower price. Though I have read of Amazon cracking down on this.

Unfortunately, no other online retailer's policy even comes close to Amazon's old 30-day policy, especially considering Amazon has such a broad "department store" inventory.
