Like when Judge Reinhold's character in "Ruthless People" tried to sell the kid the huge, over priced speakers (Caution: Language NSFW):
As for whether Amazon actually is doing that here (or if Amazon might be PERCEIVED to be doing that here, which is apparently the same thing these days) is under discussion.

The funny thing is Amazon is *not* engaging in SNAP commerce.
They are merely giving a discount to SNAP recipients who might wish to spend some of their non-SNAP income with them and stretch their resources. They are doing the opposite of what the RUTHLESS PEOPLE (great movie! "That must be the stupidest man in the world!") character was doing.
It's not different to their student discounts on PRIME.
As Cinisajoy pointed out, a lot of those folks who are *already* using Prime without Amazon *enticement" will now save a nice chunk of change.
