The thread's title must include the name of the retailer the deal is for.2. The post must contain a link, even if it's just a link to the retailer's home page.3. The deal must be from one of our partner retailers (see complete list here).4. The deal must must be unique and not be a repost of a recently posted deal.We reserve the right to disqualify any deal for any reason. Besides these mandatory criteria, we also ask that you be as descriptive as possible in your thread title. Where possible, include an image in your post. If there is a specific method to get the deal, provide step-by-step instructions. If a coupon code is needed, be sure to include the code in your post. Please do not directly copy and paste deals from other sites - you may "borrow" the deal, but type the title and post in your own words. Directly copied posts may be disqualified.HELPFUL HINTSPlease search before posting a deal. Re-posted deals will be deleted.Make sure your deal is a legit deal and not just "filler" to earn an entry.Check the list of partner retailers - some "big" stores are not eligible.List of qualifying retailers may change at any time - keep checking back.Please take the time to read this entire post - it will save you time.Combine deals if possible.
