There are few things more scammy than AliExpress “discounts”. I have yet to see a cent of the hundreds of dollars of “savings” they gave or advertised to me.

Very true, I almost never use Ali Express because I have no clue what anything is going to cost until I get to roughly the final step of checking out.

They used to give 5-10 bucks of credit to new users a few years ago. Real credits, I very carefully compared prices from different IPs.

So I would register a new account for each order -- 10 USD is quite a lot of money in my country -- and saved at least a hundred on buying dev boards and other components.
