His_Holiness for posting the most popular deal in April, Free 12 Months Kayo Subscription. In fact some of these "free 12 months subscription" deals were amongst the most popular last month — Free 12 Months Binge Subscription, Free 12 Months Flash Subscription, etc.
Clear for posting the most deals (again). He has posted 95 deals with +50.7 average votes, most popular being $3 Bonus Cashback on $30 Choice Gift Card @ Cashrewards.
mclarge for posting the most popular & most entered competition last month, Win $50,000 from Great Southern Bank, and had posted the most competitions last month (202 with average +11.25 votes).
And the moderators' pick for April goes to Michegianni for posting the most popular PlayStation 5 deal last month, noticeably quicker than those PS5 stock Twitter accounts.
Congratulations to all the winners!
