The short answer is yes. Academy will match the price by beating 5% with certain competitors.

The qualifying competitors include:

Yes, Academy has a price adjustment if you buy items at their stores within 14 days of the original purchase.

Academy will match the price if the items are qualified. But, how to determine which items are acceptable?

You can see the details below:

• The advertised price is not promoted by the third party
• Items must have the same model and brand.
• The advertised products must be in-stock.

However, there are some exceptions to this policy. The exceptional products are:

• Prices for closeouts and going out of business
• Timed activities
• Advertisement pricing that was incorrectly printed
• Other special incentives, such as rebates, discounts, or rates that need a club membership
• Clearance

You can request price matching at Academy both online and in-store.

For online price match requests, you should:

• Contact Academy customer service.
• Show proof of competitors’ lower prices, such as a digital ad copy.
• Wait for customer service confirmation, if the Academy approves, they will beat the price by 5%.

For in-store price match request, here are the steps:

• Make sure that the items are in-stock at your local store.
• Bring the proof as we mentioned above to this store.
• Show this proof to an associate
• If they approve, you will get a different amount.

If the Academy agrees to match the price, they will beat it by 5%. For example, if you find a product for $100 at a qualifying competitor, Academy will match the price and sell it to you for $95.
