Yes and no. The prices are increased about 1 month in advance. With that the average price of the last 4 weeks is increased and then you have your rebate, which is legal.

- integralid 1y agoThis still works if prices are increased a month before, right?
- IshKebab 1y agoYeah they definitely don't keep it high for 30 days though. One or two maybe.
- supermatt 1y agoThere wouldn't be much point in that, as when they promote a discount the price they compare it to would need to be the LOWEST over the previous 30 days.
- IshKebab 1y agoYeah I guess if they were actually following that rule but they definitely aren't. It's not prime day anymore so I can't link an example but I was looking at TVs when it was prime day and specifically noticed one where there was a spike for a couple of days just before prime day and that was the discount they claimed.
