$10 back if I buy one of select books: $4

$114

That was in May-June. Now, I agree, the offers have become less attractive and require more purchases as a precondition to savings. So if you want to know "whether the claim will stand up", you need to set a time frame that you're asking about.
The time frame is whether it will pay for itself within 2 years of purchase. Apparently, you got back your money within 3 months. Impressive! I'm hoping that if I buy it now, I'll realize $79 or $99 in savings within 2 years, even given the less attractive offers right now.
