I only needed one more item to “unlock extra savings up to 15%”, so I added an extra item to see what the savings would be. I didn’t think the savings matched what was advertised, so I removed an item to see what the difference was (making sure to screenshot before/after this time). Turns out the price of 3 out of 4 items is the same after an extra 5% discount.

    I find it cheaper and more effective to subscribe and use the initial coupon (usually 25% off), then immediately cancel the subscription after they ship it.

    Does that actually work without raising any red flags on their end?

      yup, no issues at all. that’s how i get cheap syrup for my soda stream, every time. the last time it was more than half off, so i bought 5x my normal amount and cancelled the subscription, and then my prime account.

        Well, now I’m going to have to try this! LOL

        EDIT: That was a bust :( Most of the flavours don’t give the option for S&S, and the ones that do only give a discount on future deliveries (only 5%), not the current one. This is Amazon Canada, so… 😭
