Dang!

Yes - and matching on a $-field is also weird!!

I set up a table and tried it (but used only integer values in the 
Rebate field!), and had the same result as yourself:

   - With the "_r" entries in the query, the query changed ALL "USD" 
rows to the first value, and LL the Non-USD rows to the second value. 
So, as I understand it, it did NOT honour the "_r" matching requirement!

   - Without the "-r" match, the query was still accepted, and the 
result was exactly the same.

Not good, I think!

But, as you and Steve have stated, in this specific case, two simple 
changeto queries could be used.
