Yes, that is basically the point.
It allows retailers to either have a constant discount, or to run weekly/monthly/yearly promotions. Or just to have random discount days.
But they have to balance the books overall.
I see it as benefiting retailers who have better control over, and knowledge of, their operations, vs those who are poorly managed.
In other words, good for Amazon
