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’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 card. Stuff I’d never order, never wish list, and never searched for.
Sometimes my shopping card 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.
