Save 25% today! (j/k, it's only 5%)
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%.

I noticed a few months ago that if I would put things in my cart and not order them right away, the price in my cart would jump a lot without notice, but the price on the page would stay the same. Like, I added something that was $30 to my cart, 2 days later it was $50 in my cart but the store page still showed the price as $30 and there wasnt the usual "an item in your cart changed price" message. I had to delete it from my cart and re-add it to get the price to drop. There was no deal, it wasn't subscribe and save, nothing. This happened multiple times. I also had prime and couldn't tell you the last time my shipping took less than 2 weeks, and I live near a city. I've since canceled prime and stopped ordering from Amazon unless I can't find what I need elsewhere. Want to scam me, fuck you.
I'm not surprised to hear of strange happenings like that.
There were a few months several years ago were I'd randomly have like THOUSANDS of a single item added to my cart. Stuff I'd never order, never wish list, and never searched for.
Sometimes my shopping cart would have like $15,000 worth of stuff in it.
They couldn't explain it, and the mystery was never solved.

Yeah, did that after the first time. Enabled 2fa, too. Checked for any other devices that have access to my account, and nothing came up.
It happened several more times, and nobody could figure out why.
I thought Alexa might have been a culprit, but I have the option to order using Alexa disabled. Strangest thing ever.
Same. I had some books in my cart that I was planning on ordering, next day they were all significantly more expensive...
