This sale uses three types of discounts: Locked-In Discounts, Tiered Discounts and Closeout Credit.
Locked-In Discounts
Featured products have Locked-In Discounts shown on the product page. These discounts do not change based on the value of your cart.
Locked-In items count toward your cart total and can help you reach a higher Tiered Discount on eligible regular-price items. They do not receive any additional Tiered Discount.
Tiered Discounts
Tiered Discounts apply to eligible regular-price items. The discount percentage is based on your total cart value.
All items in the cart count toward the total used to determine your discount tier, including Locked-In and Closeout items. The Tiered Discount applies only to eligible regular-price items.
The more you buy, the higher the discount on eligible items.
Closeout Credit
Closeout items are already discounted and count toward the overall cart value.
To qualify for Closeout Credit, the cart must include at least one non-Closeout item and one qualifying Closeout item. When combined, the cart total must reach the tier level associated with the Closeout Credit.
Closeout Credit is applied to qualifying Closeout items only.

PROGRAM RULES
How Closeout Credit Works
Closeout items are already discounted and count toward the overall cart value.
To qualify for Closeout Credit, the cart must include at least one non-Closeout item and one qualifying Closeout item. When combined, the cart total must reach the tier level associated with the Closeout Credit.
Closeout Credit is applied to qualifying Closeout items only.
Closeout products keep their listed clearance price and do not receive the percentage Tiered Discount. An order containing only Closeout items does not earn Closeout Credit — your order must include at least one non-Closeout item and one qualifying Closeout item, and the combined cart must reach the tier level.
🛒 Quick Cart Example: Add a $750 Closeout Dumbbell Set (55–75 lb) + $260 Olympic Change Plate Set & Collars (Eligible Tiered Items) = $1,010 Total Cart. This reaches Tier 1 ($1,000–$1,999), qualifying the eligible items for a 12% Tiered Discount of $31.20, plus a $100 Closeout Credit applied to the dumbbell set. That is an additional $131.20 in savings, and the dumbbell set keeps its existing Closeout markdown.
