April 2019
Kerjifire for posting the most popular deal of the month, Free Google Home Mini with Spotify Family Premium, which has +2308 votes currently and probably the reason why eBay is now flooded with cheap Google Home Mini one-use coupon codes.
dealbot for posting the most deals in April, having posted 83 deals with vote average of +83, and 60 of them got onto the front page.
Katie2014 for posting the most popular competition of the month, Win a Trip for 2 to London + Spending Money + 2 OPPO Smartphones from OPPO and the answers (for those of us who aren't interested in cricket). Finally a top competition that's not winning a car!
gnv9 for posting the most competitions in April. 269 comps with the +15.8 vote average — that's almost 9 posts a day!
Congratulations!
