Went to order some cat treats and saw that I could get a 25% discount when I sign up for Amazon’s subscribe feature.

So I clicked on it and the total in my cart didn’t reflect a 25% discount.

When I went back to see what was up, I noticed that the discount went down to 5%.

Unclicking the box will show a 25% discount again…

UPDATE: A commenter mentioned that the text reads “up to 25%”, so I went to a different item, added it to my cart and got:

But clicking on that checkbox also brings it back down 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.
