I just won an 8 SB search… there might be a collectors’ bill + 5 bonus SB tomorrow.
@yoregano You might try this: go to your S&S page
Switch from the delivery tab to the subscriptions tab. Select the cancelled subscriptions sub tab. Select reactivate for at least 30 items (or as many subscriptions as you have if less than 30), making sure to change the delivery schedule for each to 6 months. Then go back to your deliveries tab and skip all but 5 items. Those will be your default max saving triggers for April and October.
Next month, scroll down to your October deliveries (where all the skipped April items were moved to since you selected every 6 months) and for 5 of those items select “change your delivery schedule,” then change “next delivery by” to the current month/1st choice… these will be your max savings triggers for May and November.
Repeat for the next 4 months until you have at least 5 items scheduled for delivery every month for 6 months straight.
Every time you place a new S&S order for something you actually want delivered, skip one of the place holder items so it continues to help trigger your max discount 6 months down the line. You can set a monthly alarm for yourself to remember to skip unwanted deliveries before the deadline but it’s a good idea to pad your deliveries with items that are really cheap (makeup and office supplies are good options or pantry ingredients like baking soda… hint, hint if you don’t have 30 items to reactivate) and/or that you’re going to buy/use again anyway in case you are ever unable to cancel in time and the items get shipped (though you can still cancel orders that haven’t shipped from your order history).
I hope that makes sense. You can at least try it for a couple few months to test your theory that you’re being targeted for not actually reordering anything. You might also shop around for things that you actually do want to reorder regularly… I’m sure after all of these years that some of your S&S orders must have been repeats… it might help to occasionally let S&S reorder an item or two for you to get back in their good graces.
It you for try this, I’d advise rechecking the current price on all of your orders a day or two before the deadline because there are often price drops that make it cheaper to place a new order then cancel or skip the higher priced order.
HTH
ETA: if you have problems finding items to maintain the 5-item minimum, the 5 items don’t have to be unique, just 5 separate orders (even if they’re 5 of the same thing).

- I never place S&S orders through the cart…
I never used to set up S&S from the cart/checkout, either, but that seems to be the only way it works now. I used to just set up a S&S order and it wouldn’t process immediately, it would show in my monthly S&S setup and show the number of items/orders I had placed and say when my ship date would be and that is when the order would actually be placed, instead of how it is now, which seems to be an immediate order.
That is disturbing… everything is working for me the way it always has/the way you describe. However, it sounds like the relative new (a few years old, actually) option of selecting S&S in the cart is being rolled out as the only way to create new S&S orders. I hope I’m wrong or the roll out fails and things are returned to normal for everyone.
I never place S&S orders through the cart because the S&S discount is always substantially less for the first order (unless I’m willing to forgo the extra discount because I need it ASAP). Instead, I use the orange “set up now” button on the product page.
They are definitely messing around with how S&S works. I just placed two separate S&S orders for the same item (to get the clippable coupon on more than one item). For the first time ever, I got a message that warned me that the second order was a duplicate order and was asked if I was sure I wanted to place it.
This has not been a problem for me because I dont cancel subscriptions for S&S items I repurchase regularly. So I always have at least 20 reocurring items in my S&S order every month even though I NEVER actuslly place orders that large (near the end of the month/the deadline for modifying my order, I skip items I don’t want and click through to the product page for those I do want and create a new order if the current price is cheaper). Whenever I create a new S&S order, I always select 6 months as the delivery schedule for everything. For those 2 reasons, I would not have noticed what you described because I always have more than 5 items scheduled for delivery and they all have the same 6 month delivery schedule. Like you, however, when editing my delivery to whittle it down to the few items I’ll actually buy that month, I always make sure to have at least 5 items in my final order to get the maximum 15% discount (when applicable as the maximum discount varies by item).
Dex does appear to be only for Samsung devices (Galaxy 8 and later releases I think).
They do have a wireless option if the monitor/computer/tv supports Miracast and you have a Galaxy Note 20 or newer
It’s really a full scale computer emulator (i.e., turn your mobile device into a computer). Seems like overkill if all you want to do is send texts and transfer files.
This recent summary article by the Android Authority does a pretty good job of explaining how it works.
