Channel Tunnel prices, am I missing something?

[Honestviking1]

At midnight on Sunday, January 12th 2025 the offer of 25% discount was coming to an end on Le Shuttle, with the discount applying to crossings made before end of June '25.
So I went into the booking system via my account with Vin Rouge details already logged. Return price quoted at £288.
I then went to book the same times/dates but not via my account and was quoted £225.
I tried both systems several times with the same results so booked at £225 and have received the booking confirmation etc.
Naturally I'm not going to query the anomaly with Le Shuttle, but why the difference and have others experienced the same?

Back in May, I noticed something strange on the Eurotunnel site: when I logged in and tried to book the absolute cheapest return in late August, it was £167 each way. This was using my saved vehicle details. When I went incognito and not signed in, it offered the crossings at £131 using the registration number search. This despite it recognising the registration as a campervan. I then had to go to my vehicles, add the golf, delete the campervan, add the campervan again and presto! Same vehicle but £36 cheaper each way.

I think I must have previously saved the van at 5.5 to 8 m total length because of (tow bar) bike rack. But this time (new website) it didn’t display this anywhere and didn’t give the option of reducing the length.

Now I have saved the vehicle at 5 to 5.4m, it always shows the cheaper prices. But at no point does it mention the vehicle length, once saved. Something to watch out for.
