March 2019
pathacks for posting the most voted deal so far with +2831 votes — Tesla Model S Ludicrous Performance From $164,465. It seriously challenges OzBargainers' high yield vehicle of choice, Merc A200 AMG, and I am sure many have brodened multiple to resell on eBay.
/sSage for posting the most clicked deal in March, Valid Hungry Jack's Vouchers until June. Noted that it was only posted at the end of March and has already received 38,000+ clicks. In fact looking at the most clicked deals over the last 12 months — top 5 are all Hungry Jack's vouchers, despite we have many Maccas hack deals.
Talking about hacks, Mitr posted the 2nd most voted deal last month, YouTube Premium ₹129/Month (~AU $2.63) via Indian VPN — that's 82% cheaper for a monthly subscription service to one of the biggest video streaming site out there. Kudos also to SnowDragon for this comment on signing up trial VPN service on Android.
Smalot11 for posting the most clicked competition last month, Win a 79 Series LandCruiser from Nulon. It sends 11,000+ click-throughs to Nulon, but only 229 OzBargainers marked themselves as entrants. Compare that with the 2nd most clicked competition, Win a 2019 Ford Ranger from Automotive Brands Group posted by gnv9 with 4,250 clicks and 248 entrants. Well, LandCruiser beats Ford Ranger.
Congratulations!

It's strange how being thanked by online strangers makes you feel good.
I hate how vain people are on Instagram posting things solely for the likes, but at the same time it must feel nice to be complemented.
I'm glad we have a positive community here at OzB. Helping eachother
spendsave money.
