@yoregano said in Amazon Subscribe & Save - Anyone else notice the change?:
For the longest time (years and years), I used S&S mainly to get specific things at a discount and would then cancel the subscription. That is, I’d make sure I found at least five items to get the max 15% discount in a single, collective order on a specified ship date each month but never really used the service as a recurring, regular subscription. Recently, Amazon has changed the way S&S works to close that loophole to prevent cheapskates like me from doing this to get the max discount. Now, when one makes an S&S order, it creates an order that must be placed immediately (and thus with only a 5% discount) while setting up the subscription for future orders at whatever interval is specified. So, one would have to place five individual S&S orders in a single month with the same subscription interval to be able to get the max 15% discount but only on future orders. This, or course, is not necessarily a great way for bargain hunters like myself to get great deals. Oh well, it was fun for the long time it lasted.
You must’ve clicked something wrong. I’ve had it do that a few times maybe on mobile, but afterwards is started working normally. I think they have a new option where you can get it immediately with a 5% discount while adding the S&S, but it’s not required.
I just tried it on an item and it’s working as expected.
