Can someone with Amazon ICICI CC please check if Amazon does this too?

05/21/2022, 6:55 PMis it possible that the sellers are different? incognito might not have the address so might be suggesting cheaper one by default probably.

05/22/2022, 5:45 AMnot expensive products like Smartphones and LaptopsIt is DEFINITELY done for expensive products. Just in a different way. eg. The same laptop specs, but with different model names/number will be available as 2 separate listings. The SKU with cashback / discounts / "free goodies" will be listed at a higher price to make-up for their additional cost. This is one way in which they can make no-cost-EMIs work.
