Amazon is planning to offer a limited-time discount for shoppers who use its free mobile Price Check app in brick-and-mortar stores. If the customer uses the app to check the price on an item in a store, then buys the item through Amazon rather than at the store, an additional discount is applied. The Price Check app uses location-based services to help users find the greatest deals nearby and online. In the case of the promo, users can go to any brick-and-mortar store and turn on the location service for the app.
