It seemed that the percentages were written backwards for some reason. This throws you off the track when you are trying to figure out the connection. 20%?5%? I still have no idea what the discount purchases have to do with it.
As far as the percentages go, I'm not sure why they were written in this way as I don't recall putting them in like this - but I could be wrong. Oh well, it's a shame as I thought it was an ok teaser, never mind.. On your question on the discounts..... See definition no. 3.............
re·deem ( P ) Pronunciation Key (r-dm)
tr.v. re·deemed, re·deem·ing, re·deems
1. To recover ownership of by paying a specified sum.
2. To pay off (a promissory note, for example).
3. To turn in (coupons, for example) and receive something in exchange.
Hence you are 'redeeming qualities' for discount purchases.

AAARRRRGGGHHH! I just KNEW I should have waited and asked you about those percentage symbols! We've had so much discussion about cultural diversity lately that I assumed that Kiwis really did write their percentages that way. Blimey!! (Oh, and for the record, this is exactly the way you submitted the teaser, D.)
Ahahaha.... dang!!! Oh well, hopefully it won't throw too many off the scent. Silly me.
Didn't even notice the % were in the wrong place until I read the comments. Nice Teaser
I missed it, but did note the reverse on the percentages. This did not throw me as I assumed it was just an Aussie thing. good one otherwise.
Thanks guys ;D
