"10 cents motivates you to put in your credit card number if you haven't - and then the difference between 10 cents and 99 cents for other apps later is pretty trivial psychologically."

If the difference between 10 cents and 99 cents is pretty trivial psychologically, why would this stunt persuade anyone to put in their credit card number if they haven't done so for 99 cent apps?

Well it's 89 cents saving x 100 apps which is about 90 dollars worth of possible savings to tempt you. And there's every possibility that you'll miss out on some of them because they only last for a short period so they don't even have to deliver on their promise in traditional money-back voucher/coupon tradition.
