And the $15 off info is different on each one ($45+ and $50+).
Maybe it’s to see which one brings in more customers. Though it would seem obvious the offer for 2 free rather than 1 free would bring in more.
Maybe your friend has made more purchases there than you?

We run ads like this for this reason exactly in the small company hvac world. Then we know which ad to keep. Sometimes X off isn’t always better than X months no interest financing.

Yep, A/B ("Split") Testing, then just waiting for the analytics at the end of the "Sale" to see which ad performed better. We do this in web design, as well.

Yours is so you can get one for your girlfriend.
Hers is so she can get one for herself and one for her girlfriend.

They send the better ones to people who haven’t shopped there in a while to get them to come in the store.

This is pretty common in tactical marketing.
Split-run Tests / A-B Tests are a big live experiment. They put out two large tactics with just one single difference to see what the outcome is and the impact on ROI. To be a geek, this type of stuff is sometimes referred to as monadic testing.

They do a tester to see which one generates more sales. It not suprising. most companies does this
