They could easily change the policy by making it so that the website/online vendor has to have that offer currently on the website. Surely all these stores have computers hooked up to the interwebs they can check so a quick amazon search and job done, they verify it is legit and honour it.

John Lewis has a price matching thing that also does online for high priced electronics however it checks it for you over a day or so then once it confirms it, asks you to come in whenever you want to redeem their matched price.

John Lewis only price matches anything as long as: they have it in stock, it's not an online retailer like Amazon ie they need to have an actual store, and has to be within a certain radius of any john lewis store.

You are right, but they do price match a competing retailers online price, if they have one. They didn't use to. The main point though is they check, did these people at Wal-Mart check?
