I think that you have misunderstood. I have no interest in increasing my micropay balance. A 100% micropay rebate is effectively a BOGOF - Buy One, Get One Free. A very good offer, and one I won't pass up if it's for a book I want.
But there's no point in paying more into the micropay account than absolutely necessary. Consider a (numerically convenient) $100 eBook at 100% micropay
I can pay fictionwise $100 and get $100 added to my micropay or I can apply the 15% discount and pay fictionwise $85 and get $85 added to my micropay. If I later wanted (for any reason) $100 in my micropay, I could just buy $15 micropay for $15.
Applying the discount means I keep $15 in my account instead of in fictionwise's account, until I actually need to spend it. This is a good thing.

But, well, whatever...it is just remedial arithmetic.
You all do as you wish either way you will pay for the "discount" code either up front or later when you don't have enough in your MP balance to cover the next title.
It is so very funny to see when marketing spin works on people...thanks for the chuckles!
