My girl was looking for a dress for Halloween. Yesterday she found one on Amazon for € 35 and put it in the cart, but did not buy it. Today she looked it up again and it was € 50 so she asked me to look it up with my phone with my Amazon account - it turned out to be € 23 for me, less than half of what it’s for her!

      Amazon countered price tracking by introducing coupons that only apply at checkout. Some products only use coupons for discounting now.

      Just be aware that these prices may not be the true lows.

        That explains why I see coupons more and more. Ty.

            It’s often a checkbox in green near the checkout button if the item and can be the most absurd percentages that shift daily and are often better discounts than sale days.

            Add something to your cart, you won’t see the coupon u till you’ve added it. It will have a button to “clip” the coupon thus applying the potential savings.

            It’s scummy

        Yes, and Prime-only discounts, so they cannot easily be scraped.
