Protect the Savings Seattle Shoppers Use Today
Seattle City Council can protects shoppers – without taking the savings you count on off the table. A proposed city ordinance could kill some of the savings programs Seattle families rely on – loyalty points, digital coupons, brand-switching deals and more.
Key Facts At A Glance:
- $100+ in average monthly savings at risk per family
- 7+ common discounts threatened by the current ordinance
What is at risk? Everyday Discounts.
Seattle City Staff has confirmed that several everyday savings could go away under the ordnance as written. Read their memo here. The ordinance blocks brands and retailers from using a customer’s past purchases to offer them a discount – even when that discount saves the shopper money.
Targeted Manufacturer Coupons – AT RISK
Brands that send you digital coupons based on what you already buy. The ordinance restricts who can receive targeted promotions based on purchase history, causing retailers to just stop offering them.
Could lose $5.00 – $20.00 per month.
Replenishment Coupons – AT RISK
You bought paper towels two weeks ago. A manufacturer wants to send you a coupon right when you’re likely to need more. Gone.
Could lose $1.00 – $3.00 per offer.
Personalize App Offers – AT RISK
Grocery app deals tailored to what you buy – not generic deals for products you never purchase. These drive real, meaningful savings and convenience to you.
Could lose: $10.00 – $30.00 per month.
Repeat-Purchased Deals – AT RISK
You bought one brand’s diet soda last month. That company wants to offer you $2.00 off because you’re a loyal buyer. Your purchase history helps them reach you – and save you money on items you love.
Could lose $2.00 – $4.00 per offer.
“Welcome Back” Discounts – AT RISK
You haven’t ordered groceries online recently? A delivery service wants to send you a personalized offer to return. That discount? Gone.
Could lose $5.00 to $15.00 per offer.
Brand-Switching Offers – AT RISK
You buy one type of cereal every week. Another brand wants to send you $2 off to try their cereal instead – a win for your wallet and competition in the market.
Could lose $2.00 – $5.00 per offer.
