To me this is the same as a store that regularly sells an item for $100 marking it up to $120 and then offering a 15% "discount" - which still ends up being more than the $100 they regularly sold the item for. It's an unnecessary and artificial markup that gets people if they don't know any better.

True, they like to make a little extra where they can get away with it. My CA told me when his sales manager was putting together my deal he marked up the MF and my CA told him not to bother since I already told him what the base MF was and that would be what I was getting. He told me it was standard practice for them to mark up the MF and only give base when asked for.!
