Reminds me of when Bing launched and they had a 20% or so off many retailers that you clicked from their results. One was Ebay. I must've been 17 or 18 and used my summer savings to buy silver bars from Ebay 20% off and relist them.

Not long after I noticed they severely restricted the types of discounted items.

It was 30% cash back for the first few days! I’m still using the suitcase that I bought.
