What a hectic 2 months of activity. We had our biggest ever day on OzBargain for Black Friday with 4.2 million pageviews up from 3.9 million pageviews in November 2019. Meanwhile, Boxing Day racked up only 2.76 million up from 2.65 million pageviews from the previous year.
Also we just hit the 10,000,000 comment mark
Our 14th birthday was in November but no meetups this year. Christmas donations were $38,000 spilt between 6 charities bringing our total donations to $356,805.

November 2020
Here are the winners:
living4music for posting the most popular non-rep deal of the month, 15% off Nintendo eShop, TCN, Google Play Gift Cards @ Coles, with +830 votes and some negative votes mostly complaining about TCN. Most voted deal in November however went to $10 Bonus Cashback at Cashrewards by TA.
However tightarse and Cashrewards totally dominated the stats in November so he still deserves an award. Including the most voted deal (linked above), 2nd most voted deal ($5 cashback), and the 5th (12% Amazon), 6th ($5 bonus Woolies gift card) and 7th (PayPal return shipping refund) most voted deals. And most clicked deal (40% off adidas outlet). 18 deals from TA has got enough votes to be on the front page in November. Also congrats on the CR IPO.
GetRichOrDieBuying for a great first post, 2×Aperol Aperitivo 700ml + 2×Zonin Prosecco Brut Nv 750ml $36 @ BWS. Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend was the busiest weekend of 2020 at OzBargain, and looking at all the top BF/CM deals — they are mostly Cashrewards, ShopBack, Amazon or eBay deals. The BWS deal was actually one of the most voted non-CR/SB/AMZ/eBay deal during the BF/CM weekend.
dealbot for getting the most number of votes on deals posted in November. He has posted 92 deals, 83 got onto the front page, and together received 15,600 votes from the community, more than double of the second place.
