Yes, Micropay and rewards are similar incentive schemes.

as for the 31% to 34%, I don't think I've every seen that, but bear in mind that those are guidelines - check each offer - fictionwise could have a 50% rebate even on micropay transactions or a 20% rebate that only applied to CC transactions if they wanted.

Fictionwise has various cumulative discounts/rebates.

First there's club membership. You pay for membership (although they occasionally have 100% rebate on the membership fee) and then get 15% off all books.

Next there's special book or author rebates. Usually between 10% and 35%, but sometimes 50% or 100%.

Finally, there's the eReader 5% rebate. I don't like the eReader format, so I skip this.

Note that each rebate get applied to the price after the previous rebate. So the 15% membership rebate plus a 20% rebate plus the 5% eReader rebate doesn't add up to 40% rebate, but 1-(0.85*0.8*0.95) = 35.4%

What happens when the micropay rebate is between 31% and 34%?
