10. Price-drop refund hunter
The job: You bought something; the price drops a week later. Muse catches it and files the price-adjustment claim.
Track these recent purchases for 30 days: [item + order link]. If the price drops by more than [$20], check the retailer's price-adjustment policy and file a claim on my behalf. For anything under [$20], just log it in a monthly summary. Ask me before submitting any claim that requires agreeing to new terms.
What Muse will do:
- Track your recent purchases for 30 days
- Watch for price drops of more than $20
- Check the retailer's price-adjustment policy when a drop hits
- File the claim on your behalf; log smaller drops in a monthly summary
- Ask before submitting any claim that requires agreeing to new terms
Why it works: pure background value — money you'd never chase yourself, recovered automatically. Set it once, forget it.
Common failures:
- Drops under $20 get ignored — lower the threshold during big sale seasons
- Some retailers exclude sale items from adjustments — check the policy first
- Order links can expire — keep confirmation emails so the purchase is findable
Prompt variations:
- Extend tracking to 60 days for big-ticket electronics
- Add a monthly digest: tracked, claimed, and recovered amounts
