I originally read these differently, and now taking a look, it seems I have a new opinion. Originally I thought this spending was cumulative. But on rereading it here, I am thinking it is per transaction. Any idea which is correct? Cumulative purchases during promotion period? Or each purchase during promotion period?
These have always been cumulative in the past and I don’t believe it reads any differently now.
