Welcome to November & December 2021 Stats.
Some have said OzBargain has too many political deals, too many SUBS deals, too many RAT tests deals.
In reality (Nov 1 until today):
All Deals: 11207
Political deals: 1 (.009%)
Subscription deals: 22 (.19%)
Rapid Antigen Tests deals: 73 (.65%)
It's probably a good idea to follow the data, filter out the noise and engage in discussions (not just on OzBargain). But what about polls?
Well if this political poll is anything to go off, then Labor will win the 2022 election with a 54% (33.34% in 2019) primary vote, Liberals with 16% (41% in 2019). Roughly a 70%+ win 2PP which would be a record (56.9% in 1966).
Meetup Stats
After the ACT meetup concluded our OzBargain meetup season this year, I did some calculation on the number of attendees and the overall cost, and managed to post up some data today. First of all some stats:
- 14 events across Australia — 8 in NSW, 2 in Qld, and 1 in VIC, WA, TAS and ACT.
- 265 checkins from 204 OzBargain users. One users went to as many as 9 events (while organising more than half of that — you know who you are :). There are also a few that went to 5 events.
- Total contribution from OzBargain was $9,246.63. Majority of the events have over-blown the budget, which was $30/person.
Here's a scatter plot of events with number of attendees vs cost per person. -Scotty

Members of the Month
November 2021
dealbot for managing to grab the most voted deal last month, $10 Amazon Gift Card with $49 Spend via Mastercard. dealbot has posted 56 deals in November with vote average of +272.3.
skido for posting the 2nd most voted deal, $5 Promo Credit with Purchase of $75 Amazon Gift Card. According to our stats from Amazon, Amazon-branded gift card was the most popular items last month, followed by this free Santa Claus.
currentfad for posting the 3rd most voted deal with over 1k votes last month, $20 Back with $100 Spend AmEx Statement Credit from Amazon, JB Hi-Fi, Kogan, Harvey Norman, etc. Targeted offer but still very popular. currentfad has posted 5 deals in November, all targeted AmEx Statement offers.
For November, amongst the top 10 voted deals, half of those are rep-posted deals from Cashrewards and ShopBack during the Black Friday week. Lots of promotion money being thrown around :) And finally we have our winner from competition posting:
- Phalaxis for posting the most voted competition, Win LG Nano75 TV, and most clicked competition Win Carman's Oat Bar Prize Packs last month. Phalaxis has posted 161 comps in November.
December 2021
Fooah for posting the most popular deal last month, Free Tomb Raider Trilogy on Epic. Thanks to Epic Games' giveaways during Christmas, I now have even more games in my Epic library that might never get installed. Fooah has posted 11 deals during December and vote average of +409, as most are freebies from Epic.
mclarge for posting the most popular & most entered competition last month, Win The "White Wolf" Gaming PC from Aftershock PC. Good luck to those who have entered! Now I need a new gaming box to play all the free games I've got from Epic.
pizzin for posting the most clicked deal last month, LG 55" OLED C1 $2,142 @ JB Hi-Fi. All those LG OLED TVs were surprisingly popular around Christmas — I guess we do need it to pair up with the gaming PC to enjoy the great visual from those free games.
Here's one from Moderator's nomination — Matthew Sydney for consistently thanking people for posting competitions, over the last 4+ years! We really appreciate all the appreciations :)
Congratulations to all the winners!
