Yep. I didn't buy that much, but had bought a couple toolboxes and other things and got a couple hundred dollars from the settlement too.
Not even that long... This is from an email I received today.
Basically, they're having "instant savings" prices - or coupon prices without coupons. Here's a link to the browser version of the email -

The other day I also received this email:

So I'm guessing you're going to be seeing that once a month or so. You have to get the ITC membership to get the 20% discount and it will be for a few days instead of running continuously, but the "no exclusions" is a nice upgrade like Wheelerfreak said about nearly everything being excepted from the 20% coupons anymore.
I'm wondering how much these changes had to do with the settlement because after the settlement it seemed like everything just continued. Maybe they were threatened again.
I think I'm going to talk to some friends about the ITC. I know I won't buy enough to make the membership worth it, but if a few of us pool our money, it would be worth it split three or four ways. Only problem would be how strict they are about it. Do you just scan a card (that could be copied) or do you show ID or what?
