I suspect you may be right about it being sort of experimental. Especially, I agree with you about the loopholeishness (love making up words) of the ability to use with books that are temporarily on sale.
Of course, it's all moot for me - I got my credits and used them a long time ago, and haven't gotten any more.
Note that for me, at least, I got three $5 credits, and I was able to use partial credits, left over from purchasing a sale book, on other titles. Which seems even more loopholeish...

Doing it as a targeted credit lets them experiment without really committing to lower prices, I think.
I suspect the ability to use the credit on sale priced books is an unanticipated loophole.
