days of the date you purchased the product you see either a print advertisement or non-auction internet
advertisement for the same product (same manufacturer, model number and model year) for a lower
price and in the same country* in which you bought your product with a Visa Infinite Card, you will
be refunded the difference, up to US$250 per item (up to a maximum of US$1.000 per
CARDHOLDER ACCOUNT per twelve-month period). A maximum of 4 claims on any one type of
item may be submitted per CARDHOLDER per twelve-month period. To qualify for Visa Price
Protection, the advertisements must be published or posted after the date you purchased your product
