Members of the Month
June 2019
McBargainface for posting the deal of the month, $20 Free McDonald's between 12AM-8AM 2 June @ Uber Eats. It's a controversial deal though as it also received -80 votes due to all the issues.
chriso1 for posting the 2nd most popular deal last month, Free Expedited International Delivery on Amazon US Prime Items, which is just one vote away from beating the most popular deal (when negative votes are taking to account). Amazon Prime Day Sale is happening in 2 hours — get your Prime membership (& credit card) ready.
sharkfan12 for posting the most clicked deal last month, Hungry Jack's Vouchers valid until August. HJ vouchers have always been very popular and last month the PDF has been clicked through more than 50,000 times.
Being Askhole for posting the most deals in June. He posted 131 deals with +46.7 vote average, beating out last month's winner dealbot (who posted 104 deals, although dealbot's deals got a lot more votes at +107 average).
Congratulations!
