You can argue semantics all you want to, but the fact remains that we are getting special offers pushed to our Kindles.
When the program started, it was called Special Offers and Sponsored Screensavers. Special Offers required ownership and registration of a Special Offer Kindle; and did so until the last offer on 30 Apr.

Sponsored Screensavers are open to anyone with an Amazon account; even people who don't own Kindles. The same thing with AmazonLocal offers.

Amazon needs to change the wording.
