At least one of the prices should be in the title and in the post. So it may be how the post was done, and the fact that it wasted a lot of peoples time, as much as this specific deal
TT Deluxe may tell you while entering info you should upgrade to Premier. Just ignore and proceed with Deluxe
How much you want to bet that Amazon posts its sale the day Costco's offer goes live.

**** H&R Block has a bundle (on sale at Newegg for $45) that will handle both business and personal. I believe it includes states for both. That's way cheaper.
**** And yet I'll be buying both from TT and gritting my teeth over the much higher price. If you have a straight-forward return, H&R Block is as good as TT. But if you have complicated stuff (someone mentioned ESPP, which applies to my wife, and I have rental income in addition to QSBS capital gains), my experience is that H&R Block doesn't handle it as well. And when it comes to Trusts and Estates returns (which is covered by the business software), H&R Block is basically little more than an electronic version of the IRS forms . . . and a buggy version at that. Believe me, I'd love to find a cheaper option than TT, but for complicated returns, it's better than H&R (and still much cheaper than hiring an accountant.)
**** Note that TT is still not perfect. TT doesn't do everything. For example, I got a form 8986 in 2024 that Turbotax won't be able to handle and I'll have to do it manually (and that means no e-filing). But I can't imagine there's any way that H&R Block will handle it either . . . in my experience, it's much less sophisticated on these kinds of things, so I'll do my best with TT and make manual adjustments.
**** P.S. If Amazon price matches tomorrow (fingers crossed), you should be able to use no-rush credits on the versions without a $10 gift card, but you won't be able to do that if you want to buy the version with a $10 gift card. For me, I've been stockpiling no-rush credits just for this, so I'll take the $10 hit and buy the software only version.

let's get this thread to 30+ pages of people that can't imagine that anyone's taxes could be more complicated than their own filing.
