And it seems to be baaaaack again....
This time I noticed a tiny tiny little notice on a webpage for a book I was looking at that said:
Quote:
Save $5 on select Kindle books

It was just a little header and those two short sentences, about halfway down on the page for the book I was looking at, just above the "Editorial Reviews" section.
When I clicked on the "Learn more" link, this is what came up:
Spoiler:

These look identical to the T&Cs that @tch65721 found back in August:

It looks like two uses of the $5 this time, so up to $10. And if it behaves as before, the credit will only apply to some Penguin/RH books with list prices of $9.99 or higher, but will also apply to those books if they happen to go on sale for less during the 7 days the credit is valid.
Oh, and BTW, the book I was looking at was
The Price of Civilization: Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity, by Jeffrey D. Sachs:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004KPM1FS. And, just like the previous times with this credit, it is a Penguin/Random House title - Random House LLC in this case.
I'm not sure if I'm going to buy it, because it has been on sale for a lot less in the past, but quite long ago (2017). Anyway, if I do, or if I find other titles with this little link that seem as if they might trigger the credit, I'll post them here.
And if anyone finds good books that the credit will work on, please post them here too!
