Advice about SCOP

[nutcluster]

I've never had an opportunity to use the SCOP before until today...but unfortunately, it totally didn't cross my mind that I could've gotten $10 off my item until just now when I was emailing my sister about it. The sticker on the shelf said $11.46 and it scanned as $12.86 and I asked the cashier to double check it and she got a call back saying that they had JUST changed the tag on the shelf even though the computers had already been updated so they'd give it to me for $11.46. At the time I thought this was great and now realize that I should've only had to pay $1.46! Is there a rule in SCOP that you need to make your SCOP claim on the spot? Just wondering if I'd be able to show them my receipt which shows the item scan at $12.86 and then they refunded it and scanned it again with a price change to $11.46.

I'm just kicking myself now and am wondering if anyone knows what the rules are. I think I'll probably try to inquire at the store next time I'm in anyway but wondering if there's a written rule that says that if I want to take advantage of the SCOP that i needed to have spoken up about it right then and there.

I'd like to know this too. I couldn't find it anywhere in the link...what if you came back the next day? I guess you could check the shelf and if it's still advertised at the wrong price, you could maybe get SCOP.
