You may be on to something. I ordered two products today - one book (well, comic graphic novel) and was not offered a credit. I ordered some nutrition products and got the credit. Both products were sold by Amazon. Likely they will offer it where the extra time is a financial benefit to them and not on other items. The offers on everything was likely used to determine how it would effect the shipping preferences of Prime customers on different types of products.
