Maybe I'm confused, but it does show them the savings on a single transaction, the one I would be making, or what my transactions would add up to over the year?

Yes, I agree, if I'm understanding you correctly, that the most powerful thing would be what it would be across all customers over the course of the year. The flip side is I've never gone somewhere where I haven't been the first person asking, so I'm not sure that's the best starting point.

I had the default set to show the next 18 months - 6 months at 0% and then 12 months at 1%, but it needs to show the next 12 months. Fixed (and yes, it adjusts as we move through 2026).

New math is...

$10 twice a week is $37 saved.

$5 a day is now $67 saved.

$12.50 once a week is $21 saved.

Still meaningful for the merchant.

Shows that just like when you're writing articles/books, you need to step away for a day and look at it these projects with fresh eyes.
