Save up to 50% off!
Is this correct? To me, it makes it sound like a double-negative, of sorts; you are saving something that has been reduced, therefore increasing it, if that makes any sense. Anyhow, would it be more correct to say this?
Save up to 50%!

It's not mathematically or grammatically correct - but its meaning is clear enough.
"Save up to 50%!" or "Savings of up to 50%!" would be correct.
Unless they are trying some subtle legal trick of actually reducing the discount from 50% to 25% and claiming that they are telling the truth and that halving the saving is "saving 50% off".
