I'm not sure how you see offering targeted incentives as making a "sucker" of everybody else.
When there's a sale for e.g. new customers, you being a returning customer doesn't mean you're suddenly getting ripped off when paying (or in this case being paid) the rate you've always been happy to pay or be paid.

No, but it does help to occasionally become a new customer all over again, again and again, especially with ISPs.
I don't like negotiating that way, but it's the only way to negotiate with a brick wall.
