And now it’s back to working correctly for me - I can add the gum linked above to my May S&S order with the coupon and 15% off. Although it took my directly to the cart without showing me the normal S&S confirmation screen but at least the savings are correct. So it looks like it’s a 2 day period where I was affected by this.

@mtnagel I would reach out to a CSR. They might give you a coupon and they might unsubscribe you from whatever beta program you got put into.

Yeah I would if there was something I really wanted that was affected by this.

Just tried again now and noticed this. This is if you click, “change” under “First delivery on Apr 2”. I’m hoping that the 5% is just a typo as when I tested previously, the May delivery would get 15% because I had 5+ items in that S&S.

Anyone still doing this? I’ve probably gotten at least 50 cans of this for free, but I suspect the gravy train is coming to an end. Kroger had them all on close out today so they might be discontinuing it. But that might not even matter as I tried to get another one using an Incognito window like I have for the last 9 months, but this time they asked for a phone number to text and said I had reached my limit. I still have a few coupons saved, so I’ll try to get a few more, but looks like this is over. It was crazy how I could keep doing it but I guess they finally figured it out.

Thanks all for the good discussion and help in troubleshooting. I thought of a scenario that is still a potential problem with the workaround of placing an order and then cancelling it immediately to just use S&S: when an item has a discount (separate from the S&S discount) from a clicking a checkbox on the item page that is only applied to the first order. I suspect if I try the order-then-cancel approach, I would lose that extra discount. I may have to experiment if I can find an item I don’t really care about with an extra discount and see what happens.

Try this item: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ARABJZS?tag=phtwllt-20

This is sounding more and more like a post-upgrade glitch to me. I’d hate to think that anyone with more than 2 brain cells would implement such a consumer hostile policy.

I tried. Got the coupon and 5% off on the order that would ship right away:

But then as suspected, you lose the coupon on the S&S order:

No change after canceling the order that would ship right away.

Sounds like you clicked add to cart and went to checkout. Go back to the product page and chose S&S

No, you still aren’t getting what I’m saying since it seems to be working differently for you. If I go to any S&S-eligible product page, click the radio button for S&S, specify the delivery interval (1 month or whatever), and then click the yellow “Set up now” button, it then takes me to a checkout screen like I showed with my screen shot in the earlier post. My only options at that point is to place an immediate order (with only a 5% discount applied) and then have the item set up for future S&S deliveries, or I can uncheck the box under S&S and it then just becomes like any other non-S&S order.

Again, I have been using S&S for many years; I know how it works, or at least how it used to work. It just doesn’t work that way anymore for me. The questions now are: Why is this change affecting some users and not others? - and - Is this ultimately going to become a permanent change for everyone?

I suppose I could try and contact customer service and try to find out what’s going on but I doubt it would change anything anyway, so probably not worth the hassle.

Is this on a certain device? Do you have any current subscriptions? You can try placing the order with s&s and immediately cancel the order and see if the s&s stays.

Great idea! That accomplished what I wanted to do - add an item to my May S&S with 15% discount. Thanks!

Just to confirm, going through the order flow and then cancelling the order? if you’re getting 15% discount sounds like you already had at least 4 items for the subscription. Wonder why it wasn’t working for you then. Perhaps, as I mentioned the device you’re on, mobile vs PC vs app might have different flows.

Yes, I ordered the item with a 10% discount which was set to ship right away and arrive by Monday when I have a S&S order arriving on April 6th. I set it for 1 month S&S. After ordering, I saw it was added to my May 4th S&S order with a 15% discount. I canceled the order and it disappeared from my current orders but the item is still in my May 4th S&S.

I saw no difference between PC and Android Amazon app. Same options. And yes I almost always have 5+ S&S items every month.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this behavior before and I think it’s what I said above. I’m past the cut off date to add items or edit my April 6th S&S, but it’s obviously before April 6th. I think I’ll check everyday and see when (or if) it starts to add it to my May 4th S&S instead of trying to ship right away.

I’m now seeing what you’re seeing. If I try to place a S&S order, it wants to ship it now for 5% off instead of adding it to my upcoming S&S order with 15% off.

I wonder if it’s because I’m in the period where I can’t edit my upcoming S&S order (last day to edit was yesterday), but I’d be fine if it added it to my May S&S order, which is actually what I want. I guess I’ll wait till after my stuff ships/delivers and see if I can add it to the May order. Or course it might be more expensive then, which would be annoying.

they sent me an offer to earn $10 if I get food 2x between now and 3/31 on top of the Cashback. Easy to do

I got that too but not really easy for me as we rarely eat out. I’m trying to decide if it’s worth to go out when we otherwise wouldn’t just to get the deal. There are a couple breweries in the app so if I go get 2 beers twice, that would be around $24. I’d get around $5 back because they are always ~25% back and then I’d get $10 back. So 4 beers for around $10 is a pretty good deal.

a couple are semi fast food, like sub shops, can go in and buy a drink as long as there’s no credit card minimum probably make $5. If i had to get subs, get two $10 orders, rung up seperately, pay $10 net. I’ll have to see how and if I end up using the offer.

So I mentioned my brewery plan to my SO and then she started looking at the list and of course she wanted to come and picked a pricy pizza place. So instead of getting 4 beers for around $10, we ended up getting more drinks and pizza and salad, but after the Upside deals (18% off both and $5 and $10 off), Dosh, SB and T-Mobile Dining deal (5% off and $10 off $25), if my calculations are correct and they all come through, we should get about $40 back off $90 in food and drinks. Not as good of a deal, but not too bad for spending an evening out with my SO and we have leftover pizza for another meal each.

@MISTERCHEAP Did you end up doing this?

1. 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.

So when you go to these cotton swabs, you don’t have the “set up now” button under the S&S on the right side anymore like I do below? You only have the option to add it to your cart, and then set up the S&S (which I also have as well).

Maybe I’m missing something but it seems to be working as expected for me. Here’s the cotton swabs posted above:
