How does the PNC Cash Rewards card's price protection work?

The PNC Cash Rewards® Visa® Credit Card does not offer price protection. The lack of a price protection benefit is not uncommon these days, as more and more credit cards have dropped this perk. Recent advances in price-tracking technology have led to a dramatic increase in price protection claims, making the benefit too expensive for some issuers to sustain.

Still, if you’re in the market for a credit card with price protection, another option would be the Capital One Quicksilver Cash Rewards Credit Card. The price protection benefit covers certain items purchased entirely with your eligible Capital One Quicksilver card. It reimburses price differences up to $250 per claim if you see the same item advertised at a lower price within 120 days of the purchase date shown on your receipt.
