It is not enough to have this query string in your URL, you must be logged into an account that is registered with @debian.org email address. You should see a discount applied when you add the item to your cart. As of March 2023, some other regions (e.g. Europe) seem to have no obvious such status indicator, but show the discounted price and the struck off standard price on the displayed prices even before adding to the cart.
