How can I check whether a price drop is real or temporary?
Our answer
Compare historical advertised prices and the normal competitor price, not merely the seller's crossed-out reference price.
Why this approach makes sense
The key evidence is the actual transaction, account setting and provider terms. Written confirmation matters more than an assumed cancellation.
Before you try it
Keep receipts and confirmation emails, and check whether a renewal, refund or dispute deadline applies.
