Not all mastercards.........you will need to call mastercard directly at 1 800 622 7747 and ask for benefits department. you give them your card number and they will tell you if price protection is a benefit for your specific card. interesting enough, my bank couldn't tell me, they referred me to the MC number above.
good luck all.
on a different note, i did find out i have purchase assurance (if lost/stolen within 90 days, i get money for a new one........and please no comments about "what if......"), also, extended warranty, if an item's manufacturer warranty is good for a year, MC will auto extend it another year. Also collision coverage when renting car, but no personal injury or other person injury insurance coverage.......
but hey, i didn't even know i had the above benefits on this particular card (which happened to have been a MC "Check" card by the way.......
