Sorry to be a contrarian, but sometimes a change in title is a reward in itself, especially if it does not involve a change in job responsibility. In some large corporations, there are pay ranges that are determined by your title. It could be that you are on the higher end of the pay range for your existing role, so it is hard for your supervisor to justify why you should be getting more money. By giving you a dry promotion, it becomes easier to give you a fat raise during the compensation review season. At many companies, there is a certain time of the year to give people promotions and then later on in the year to give raises.

MODERATORS
It might be hard for the supervisor, but only because they are also part of an exploitative system not compensating labor fairly.
Pay ranges determined by title isn't fact, it's decided by the company. Having promotions given once per year as well, as is the decision to raise salaries at a different time.
Just as they can make sure to pay their bills on time every month, they can make sure to promote and pay their workers on time every time.
Yes, the supervisor is working from inside the system, but that means you're in this together and should rise together against the system. You both need to join a union.

… especially if it does not involve a change in job responsibility.
Key point. That would be worth considering.
At any company worth its salt, a promotion laterally to a new role could at least come with a nominal adjustment. 0% is absurd, but something nominal like 2% as a "performance incentive" towards new responsibilities would be reasonable.
2% is still laughable. They would easily be paying the external candidate > 10% more almost always.

By "it," do you mean the stuff in your office when you walk out the door for the last time after saying "fuck you" to such disgusting bullshit?
