Spend more, save more — and the point where you should stop.
Three tiers, the actual arithmetic under each one, and a plain answer to the question this mechanic is designed to stop you asking. Sometimes the next tier is worth reaching. Often it is not, and this page says which.
Cyber Week ends in
Three tiers
Tier one
- You pay $63.75 on a $75 basket
- Saves you $11.25
- No minimum beyond the threshold
- Applies to everything not on the excluded list
Tier two
- You pay $120 on a $150 basket
- Saves you $30.00
- The extra $75 effectively cost you $56.25
- So the increment came in at 25% off, not 20%
Tier three
- You pay $225 on a $300 basket
- Saves you $75.00
- The extra $150 effectively cost you $105
- So the increment came in at 30% off
Tier two to tier three: 30% on the extra — You spend $150 more and your discount grows by $45, so $150 of goods costs you $105. Better again, and the pattern keeps going with every tier anybody builds
Which is where the trap is — All of that only holds if you wanted the extra goods. If you did not, you have spent $105 to save $45 — and no arrangement of those numbers makes it a saving
The honest rule — Climb a tier only when the extra basket is something you would have bought in the next few months anyway. Then the marginal rate is real money you keep. Otherwise it is a discount on a purchase you invented to earn it
Where thresholds come from — They are set close to the average order, because that is where a nudge moves the most people. Publish yours beside the tiers and they stop looking like round numbers somebody happened to choose
Judged on goods, before delivery — The tier is worked out on the basket, not on the basket plus shipping. State your own — the other way round is common and it always feels like a trick when it is discovered at checkout
A return never claws the discount back — Return something and drop under a threshold, and you keep the discount on what you kept. Re-invoicing the difference is legal, normal, and the most resented thing in this whole mechanic
Tiered — 15%, 20% or 25%
One code, all three tiers. It reads your basket at checkout and applies whichever tier you actually reached — there is no separate code to hunt for.
Ends 8/20/2026
Gift cards are payment, not a discount — Paying with one does not reduce your basket for the purposes of a tier. Buying one does not count towards a tier either, and both of those are worth saying out loud
The excluded list, in full — Name every excluded line here rather than writing "some exclusions apply". If the list is long enough to be embarrassing, that is information about the offer rather than about the page
One use per customer — Per customer, not per household and not per card. Split your order across two accounts and you will reach two lower tiers instead of one higher one, which is worse for you
Cyber Week, day by day
- Fri, Aug 14Opens — all three tiers live
Everything is available from the first minute. There is no drip-feed and nothing is held back for later in the week.
- Sun, Aug 16Midweek — stock check
We publish what has sold out rather than leaving you to find out at checkout. Nothing is restocked during the week.
- Wed, Aug 19Last full day
The last day anything can ship inside the usual window. After this the queue is longer and the confirmation will say so.
- Thu, Aug 20Closes with the clock
The code stops working when the counter hits zero, on our clock. No extension and no quiet second wave the following week.
Work out your tier before you shop
It takes a minute and it is the difference between a discount and a purchase you invented.
