I'd file a report to the FTC or whatever your governing body is for deceptive billing practices, provide all the proof possible then immediately cancel any and all Amazon accounts and never look back.
Scamazon provides nothing of benefit.
I mean, the top says “up to”, which technically means Amazon doesn’t even need to apply a discount. I would be more concerned if it said “save 25% today” and then dropped to “save 5% today.”
But it's not a slot machine. It's not "click and see what discount you get".
And for what it's worth, I went to a different item, added it to my cart, got the following:
Clicked on it and it went to 5% 🤷♂️
Ok now I'm invested. What happened to up to? That's supposed to be their excuse, that there's some sacrificial lamb out there, which knocks a quarter of the price off for subscribers, this one just wasn't it. Now you locate the rare holofoil "no up to" Amazon listing and you don't get the 25%? Tyranny I say! We must overthrow! We demand up to 100% of the means of production!
The one missing "up to" was the same product, but a different flavour.
I feel like I'm in some weird a/b testing, but it looks super deceptive regardless.
