Looking for a couple more batteries for my tractors this morning on the computer,looked at a couple at Advance Auto so up pops a note saying if I use this code I'll get 25% off the batteries.Said I can pick them up at my local store no shipping charge, so I decide to buy two give them the CC info and says I can pick them up in 30 minutes.Went over
with 2 old batteries for cores picked up the new batteries no problem.Wonder why they'll give 25% off if they are bought on line but not from the store?
 
I've seen that on their website too. I figure they will smother your email with advertising. I haven't tried it yet.
That was a good buy though and you can block them from your email.
 
I?ve wondered that myself see different deals on the internet all the time where it?s cheaper online than in the store
 
We have even bought some groceries from WM that way. Coffee and breakfast cereal, way cheaper than buying it off the shelf and you don't have to dodge Walmartians to get it.
 
I think why it is cheaper is few hand on the stuff so no stocking a shelve etc. Less labor so less cost

And they hope that once your in the store you will buy some other stuff.

To the O.P.
Once you got to the store and told them you were there, did they retrieve the batteries right away?
Or disappear for awhile to make you wait and wander around the store?
 
Don't know why they are cheaper online. When traveling, many motels are cheaper if you book online.
 
Went right back to the shelf got the batteries and put them on the cart,I took them out to the truck and loaded them and bought the old batteries back as they were real busy.
I know the most of the guys that work there real nice to deal with.
 
Be sure and keep your receipt. The store doesn't keep up with those online purchases like it does with what you purchase there.
 
Buy from them on line all the time. Smaller stuff will ship right to your door at no charge if over $25 I believe. Sign up for their rewards program and get money back on your next purchase. With 2 batteries they would have given you $40 back next time.
 
I need a battery and while in WalMart yesterday I looked them over. The one I wanted was clearly not fresh and another one next to it was dated from 2017. I need a replacement for my rarely used tractor and the one I took out I bought in 2008 from WalMart. Not buying one that is not fresh though.

My local store sells out frequently, so there is always a fresh inventory. I always check. Over the last few batteries I've purchased, I have to say that Walmart is superior to Advance Auto. YMMV
 
If you're already in the store, you're probably going to buy. If you're on-line, chances are you will buy elsewhere without some further incentive.
