OutOfTime for posting the most voted deal last month, $5 Bonus Cashback on $50+ Gift Card Purchase @ Cashrewards. Interestingly, the other deal posted by HamBoi69 earlier in September that gives $5 bonus cashback with $50 spend from Cashrewards, not limited to gift cards and went on for 3 days (instead of 1), actually got less votes.
BlazinPast for posting the quickest trending deal last month. Harry Potter 8-Film Complete Collection 4K $9.99 @ Apple TV got posted at 9:10AM, and reached +100 votes by 9:49AM. Apple TV must be all the range among witches and wizards.
shaneb for posting the most voted & the most entered competition last month, Win an Ultimate Fast Home Upgrade Pack from Aussie Broadband. Comp is still running for another 3 days so there's still a chance to enter. shaneb has also posted the most competition in September — 201 comps posted with +14 vote average.
Hiphopopotamus because he needs a life. It's record breaking month again for Hiphopopotamus — 151 deals posted with vote average of +51.9, most popular being Free - Speedway Survival @ Steam.
Congratulations!
