You get the $5 in credit if you spend more, too. That's part of Amazon's game.

And if I spend more, then the savings (%) drops. That's all.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Again. The savings is never going to be 25%. You've got to spend another $5 to get any savings at all, making a minimum total outlay of $25, of which the $5 credit would be a 20% savings.
The 25% is Amazon snake oil, or a distraction if you'd rather. This is the deal: spend a mimimum of $20 on ebooks and Amazon will give you a $5 credit. Focus on the $5. The 25% is irrelevant and inaccurate; it's spin. Don't fall for Amazon's ploy.
If percentage savings matters to you, as it does to me as I consider the quality of a deal, it's no better than 20% and that's virtually impossible to attain, especially as the $25 outlay is over two transactions. Spend exactly $20 on the first and exactly $5 on the second and you max out at 20%.
But, heck, if you're happy and think you've saved 25%, there's obviously nothing I can say after all these attempts to convince you otherwise. Enjoy.
