    Scamazon uses the coupons “click to save $5.00 applied in your cart” to hinder the accuracy of price tracking websites now. Don’t trust scamazon.

      Why would Amazon want to hinder the accuracy of the price tracking in that way? I would imagine Amazon wants their 30% cut (Depending on Category) and they want it as fast as possible. Their entire business is predicated on Churn, and Logistics.

      In that way - I would imagine CamelCamelCamel increases conversion.

      I wonder if the Coupons were shown to increase conversion for the ‘Coupon’ ladies that everyone sees in their local grocer. They only buy when they get a ‘Good Deal’. They’re willing to spend 9 hours to save $0.76 and they never “pay sticker price.”
