# AO price match: how to use it, and how to pay less

Not yet. AO (ao.com) sells washing machines, fridges, TVs, laptops. It does not accept offers yet. Register the price you would pay and be told if that changes.

## Does AO accept offers?

Not yet. AO does not currently offer a formal way to make an offer online. You can register the price you would pay on this page, and you will be notified if that changes.

## Can you negotiate with AO?

There is no formal channel today. In store, a discount sometimes depends on the salesperson and the day, and online there is no built-in way to make AO an offer. Registering the price you would pay here is currently the only structured way to express one.

## Does AO price match?

Yes. AO matches the current price of a competitor's product, but only against UK-based retailers selling UK products. The competitor's product must be exactly the same as the AO product and must be available to order and pay for on the same day. AO also states it will match discount codes and sales periods. Before purchase, the shopper calls AO on 0161 470 1100, gives the product code and says where the product was seen cheaper, and AO confirms the price. After purchase, the shopper submits a Price Match form under My Account within 7 days of receiving the order (standard guarantee); the refund of the difference appears in the bank account within 3-5 days. A separate extended period runs to 23rd December for orders placed before 12th December. Checked against AO's published policy on 14 October 2026. Price matching gets you a competitor's public price; an offer is different — it is your private price, which can go where public prices don't.

## When does AO have sales?

AO runs public promotions regularly, so timing a purchase around sale periods can pay. The trade-off: public sale prices are visible to everyone, apply only to what's on sale, and end when the sale ends.

## How do I get a discount at AO?

Price matching is the surest route today: find the identical item advertised for less and ask AO to match it. Watch for their public promotions. And register the price you would pay on this page — if AO starts accepting offers, you'll be first to know, with your offer already queued.
