Thanks

 

I was waiting for a promo on those Herbie Hancock albums, and I had put the albums in my favourites list some time ago.

 

When I checked the favourites, the prices were unchanged (14.99 Euro for the 24bit albums).

 

Then I noticed that the links in my favourites had "lu-fr" in the URL (Luxembourg - French), while the promo links have "fr-fr" (France - French). Example:

 

Village Life | Herbie Hancock*– Télécharger et écouter l'album

 

Village Life | Herbie Hancock*– Télécharger et écouter l'album

 

Now the weird thing: when I go to the France link with the discounted price and add the album to my shopping basket, it has the non-discounted price. I tried the same while not being logged in (using a different browser), and it's the same issue.

 

I don't see a territorial restriction for the discounts, so I'll try to figure out if I can get the lower price. Maybe it's just some technical glitch, or they are deliberately doing price discrimination between territories.

To give them the benefit of doubt, I'd assume this to be a technical glitch. While Luxembourg may not be very popular recently due to some corporate tax loopholes, I'd be surprised if this warrants premium pricing.
