So now I'm confused (or stupid
) but today after 'prime day' the video rentals that were yesterday offered with 'up to 50% off' are the exact same price.
e.g. Deadpool was and still is £3.45 for SD rental or £4.45 for HD rental.
Along with a few other recent movies I fancy watching (legitimately
) they are at the same price as yesterday. Yesterday I even tried going to the final step for purchasing the rental in case the discount was applied later, but no updated price on screen.
I suppose 0% is 'up to 50%'.
Who's cocked up me or them? (feeling optimistic I'm right as the first line of movies yesterday, including The Revenant said rent HD from £3.99 or less, yet the HD was £4.45 so looks like misinformation on their part
)
And yes I do have an active full prime membership. Ordered some tat from them so know the other 'prime day' offers were valid for my account.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

Next time have a conversation with tradesman over where to buy decent drill and how much to spend on it."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

You know it could be the user prime day to just encourage people to buy lots of stuff under the assumption they are getting a bargain when in reality they may not be.Originally posted by Hobosapien View PostSo now I'm confused (or stupid
