8PERCENT
Deals Direct was down for most of the day & night on Wednesday, so their directors have come up with a hilariously cruel game to punish the IT team for causing the website to shut-down in the first place, so they are going to give an discount for every hour that the website was down, the website came back at 8:30pm so you'll recieve a 8% discount coupon for you to use at Deals Direct!

The DealsDirect site is down at present, but they have a "temporary" homepage advising of the outage.
Will be offering an 8% discount using the code <8PERCENT> when it's back online……
The following indicates the discount will go up by 1% for each hour they are offline, up to a maximum of 12%, ie 9/10/11/12% "deal" as the clock goes past those hours tonight & the site is still not up (It indicates to keep checking their site for "updates", and I guess tha would include the "coupon code" : -
[Now, here's where things get totally vindictive and hilarious. Notice the coincidental discount? 8 percent for fixing the site by 8 o'clock. We're going to RAISE the discount every hour by 1%, for every hour the site is offline. If we hit 9pm EST and the site's still offline? We'll throw up a new coupon code for 9% discount. Now, only the last coupon code that we post will be the one that works, so you'll need to keep checking the site tonight for updates.
We reserve the right to max out at 12% at midnight, because… well, this the hilariously vindictive part. The discounts everyone will be saving with the coupon code? Will be taken directly out of the IT team's wages. MOOHAHAHAHA! So while we want to punish them, we don't want to punish them too hard.
Oh, okay, we're only joking. After all, I was part of the IT team last time I looked.]
Website came back online at 8:30pm - so the discount is 8%!
