"We're missing your spending, here's a discount so you'll buy something"

But you know APs don't spend money

There are less APs. Not a bad way to get the fewer APs to spend more money.

With this discount Tom Courless will purchase enough merch to make up for all spending of the APers who didn't renew.

True dat

You have a point there

…I forgot about that…somebody CANCEL!!!

But seriously…an interesting story from the real world is retailers are sitting on product. They BSed to increase prices for too long and now have a glut as the prices are too high.

I couldn’t be more shocked if I woke up this morning with my head sewn to the carpet.

But as far as AP discounts go…could that be the reason? Backlog of merch?

sarcasm aside, I recall another time when in park AP discounts went up, and online actually got AP code too. This seems to line
up towards the end of the current in park AP discount increase.

Ding ding ding! I think we have a winner.

"Exalted Bob, we have a lot of merch that no one wants because it's garb..."

"WHAT?!?! Offer the unfavorables a discount, we need them to buy it up, like they always do. Remind me to disparage them in the press again soon. I hate annual passholders. Good for nothing freeloaders..."

"Sir, you just said you needed them and offered them a discount"

*Bob walks out of room*

Or their sales are off due to the constant price increases. They need to pump up the 3rd Q numbers and someone realized that if prices are lower, we can sell merch and pump up the numbers. Win-Win.

Read the article. The discount doesn't apply to almost everything.

Which gives more validity to my theory

Quick glance (and not doing a side by side) but the list looks like the standard shop disney exclusions. Lots of stuff online that discount [codes] don't work with online but one would be able to get discount on in park. Because of the exclusions I try to avoid getting MB or Loungefly (not that I'm big on LF as some are) online if it's something I could easily get in park with my discount.

should be year round, not a temporary thing, but I guess anything to make the mouse money.

Can’t even use this discount on 50th merchandise. The list of what the discount *can’t* be used on is ridiculous.

The reasonably priced stuff people want…is what you’re trying to say?

Crap they can’t unload elsewhere or else items with a high enough profit margin where even a 25% discount will still net them a few dollars?

Profit margin on Shanghai product in the swamp can be as high as 90%
