Between March 16 and April 6, Coles Express petrol outlets in NSW and the ACT are offering 20% off iTunes cards. It’s a bit fiddlier than a typical iTunes deal, as you need to print a voucher from the Coles Express site, but the level of savings is also higher than the usual $40-worth-for-$30 offer. If the printing sounds like too much of a hassle, Dick Smith is also offering 20% off until March 30. [Coles Express via OzBargain; Dick Smith via OzBargain]

the usual $30 for $40 worth is a 25% discount

Isn’t it slightly less savings than the $40 for $30? If you purchased $40 worth, you’d get 20% off, which is $8, making the purchase price $32, which is $2 more than the usual offer.

“the level of savings is also higher than the usual $40-worth-for-$30 offer”
Is my math failing me, or is that sentence wrong?
20% off $20 x 2 = a saving of $8
$40 for $30 = a saving of $10
However, it is better than “the usual $60-worth-for-$50 offer”.
20% off $30 x 2 = a saving of $12
$60 for $50 = a saving of $10
… but obviously not better than the unusual $60-worth-for-$40 offer (you save $20).
Sorry for being pedantic.
