On at

Question

Are both of these grammatically correct?
1. Additional cardholder benefits, including car rental discounts of up to 25% on at participating locations with your credit card. (What does the sentence mean with 'on at'?)

2. Additional cardholder benefits, including car rental discounts of up to 25% at participating locations with your credit card. (How does the meaning of this sentence different from #1?)

Thanks

I have no idea why 'on' is there. It's as if part of the sentence is missing. discount ... on ... should say what the discount is on.

... discounts of up to 25% on [certain models of cars???] at participating locations ...

Perhaps "on" was meant in the sense of "in effect" or "taking place", as in "there's a sale on"?

But, I agree, it doesn't read well.

GPYin the sense of "in effect" or "taking place"

Agreed. That could have been the intent. There's a play on at the Rivoli Theater.

It's a strange place to put the 'on', though. I was expecting 'up to 25% off'!
