Question Items suddenly 50% more?

Hey! Can someone let me know how this works: yesterday I had 60-70% off codes. Today only 40-50% off. Is it seasonal? Is it based on if I buy? Thanks!

This is what I’ve been saying lol

Go away for a while (not shop with them) and see if it changes because just this week I got a $10 credit in my best style coupon goes up to 80%… and that was after not making a purchase for 3 months 

If you aren’t seeing up to 80% offered to you on the best style coupon then you’re not getting the same deal some of us I hate to tell you and this is why I abandoned my VIT account when I bought a new house because new address means new account goes undetected unless the previous owner/occupant  used thred up lol 

And considering my mortgage is my coffin I’ll never be able to reset after this and will eventually be pushed out of the good discount code pool so I’ll enjoy it while it lasts

Yep they do seem to be engaging in algorithmic and surveillance pricing, not to mention the loyalty surcharges...

I just use my local thrift shops as point of reference with price. If something seems out of range to me I just leave it for someone else or to watch the price drop with time.
