In reading the terms of the promo this is what I found:
"After shipment is complete, you will receive an e-mail from Amazon that indicates the dollar amount of the promotional credit and that the dollar amount of the credit has been added to your customer account".
Take care everyone ... be safe!

$15 off $65 is 23%
Off $50, but if you did spend $65, you are on mark at 23%. Please join me on my next math lesson on YouTube.

Someone like me considers the $15 as cash since I'll spend the it right away at Amazon.
But on SATs, it's 23%

Sorry for not providing more context. You have to spend $50 to get $15 in credit. You then use the $15 credit to buy $15 worth of goods from Amazon. So you received $65 worth of goods for $50 spent, a discount of 23%. This is actually the maximum discount under this offer. A more realistic example is that you purchased $55 worth of goods, and then used the credit on $20 worth of goods. This would be $75 worth of goods for $60 spent, or a discount of 20%. This is a more accurate way of evaluating the discount, since it's not a percentage off the original order but a credit. Hope this helps
When you spend $50 at Amazon and get a $15 credit for a future purchase, there are two ways to think about the discount:
1. Discount on your current $50 spend: 30%
* You spent $50 and got a $15 benefit (the credit).
* If you look at the discount compared to what you just spent, it's $15 off of $50.
* As a percentage, that's (15 / 50) * 100% = 30%.
* Think of it like: For every $50 you spend now, you get a 30% return as a future discount. This is how stores often advertise these deals.
2. Discount on the total money you need to spend to use the credit: about 23%
* To get the $15 credit benefit, you first spend $50, and then you'll need to spend more in the future to actually use the $15 credit and buy something else.
* If you think about the total amount you're spending to get this whole deal (the initial $50 and the future purchase), you could consider the discount in relation to that larger, total spend.
* If you roughly assume the "total spend involved" to get the $15 benefit is around $65 (your initial $50 + some future spending), then $15 off of $65 is about 23%.
* Think of it like: If you consider the whole process to use the credit, the $15 discount is about 23% of the total money involved in that process.
Which one is right?
Both are correct, but they look at the discount differently.
* 30% is the more common and simpler way to think about it. It's a direct discount percentage on your initial $50 spend. This is usually what companies mean when they advertise a discount related to spending.
* 23% is a more complex way to think about it. It considers the discount as a part of a larger, ongoing spending relationship.
For most people, the 30% is the easier and more practical discount figure to understand for this type of promotion. It tells you directly the benefit you get from your initial $50 purchase.
