Why can't I have both the HBO and Showtime 50% discounts?

Back in June, after having paid the full price for HBO for a few months, I went to cancel through the web site but was offered 50% off for 12 months, which I accepted.  My bill at the end of June reflected the 50% discount.

A month later, in July, I subscribed to Showtime, which was advertised at 50% off for 12 months.  On my bill at the end of July, however, I was now only getting the 50% off Showtime, and again paying full price for HBO.  I tried contacting two different Verizon reps via chat, and both gave me the vague explanation that my account wasn't eligible for both discounts.  So I have a few questions...

Is this a new policy, or is there some unknown factor that determines whether I can get both discount?  Last fall I received the 50% off discount for both HBO and Showtime simultaneously for several billing cycles.

Why wasn't I warned that adding Showtime at 50% off would eliminate the HBO discount?

If I could only get one of the two discounts, why did I not retain the larger HBO discount?
