My wish list says it saves 24% but in reality it is 5%.
When not logged in:
Is it really 5% or your subscription credit?
Personally, I trust our big-box retailers on 'sales' more than FL, that's always gaming the customer.
When not logged in, the resource shows a 20% discount. When logged in, you receive a 5% subscriber discount off the $56.99 standard price.
The percentages off in the Wish List have a lot of complicating factors to keep in mind: - Often they're relative to a supposed retail price that nobody really buys the book for (as in the case above) - They conflate dynamic pricing with discounts… is this 50% off because it's on sale or because I already own half the books? - How much of the discount is always in effect for you from subscriber and/or academic discount When I look at the discounts in the Wish List, what I want to know isn't "some hypothetical person would pay up to $70 for this book, but I can buy it for $25!" (how Faithlife wants you to read it), bur rather that usually that same book would cost me $40 and this month I could get it for $25. But the latter information isn't directly presented, you have to keep track of what the baseline prices of things in your wish list are, and watch for drops that could make it a good time to pull the trigger. The individual product pages also help by listing the relevant discounts and providing some info on how they arrive at the supposed savings.
