I think you are confusing "discount" with "loss."
The sponsor may be offering discounts , but they are not taking a loss.
The model is old and proven and works quite well, thanks.

They did get $10, but I got $20 worth of merchandise, and it shipped for free. they might have broken even, but I doubt they made a profit.
Customer acquisition is expensive, but offering discounts doesn't attract the kind of customers you need, it attracts people that are price conscious and who chase discounts. Acquiring customers with great service and by word of mouth is much harder, but ultimately far more successful.
