I thought this would be a bit of fun to discuss.
Obviously some deals, once shared publicly, would soon never work again, hence sharing them would be useless.
I'll start: booking unlimited luxury hotel rooms for free (this was a few years ago).

I promised I would never disclose her name
there was one with pet stock and the dine cat food, it was something like 24 trays for whatever price, however, if I selected two particular flavours and just added about 50 something total, think it was 53, I was able to get it all for less then that price, I would add a bag of cat treats and get free delivery for orders over $25, did it for my mum a few times also, after about 6 or so times, it stopped working
It costs $0 to be a decent human being
Too expensive for some people. :((
Baseus amazon had everything @ 2 for $5.
They corrected the mistake before I could post it
Most of my friends don’t know about ozbargain and I’m not going to tell them either
My wife :)
.I think it's the full stop you put on a line of its own in each post, more screen coverage
He's obviously stolen yours.
I pick this guys wife too.
A particular addon accessory for a particular tool. It made an already useful electric thing into a frikkin ripping money/time saving hack that made my life and our home a better place to live.

What's The Best Deal You Haven't Shared?
if i havent shared before then i will not say it now
If we share it here then it's not a deal we haven't shared.
I'm implying that any description of the deal is to be in vague terms or potentially more specific if it's already expired.
Gift card inception.
Free Qantas Gold status (for as long as they keep this loophole open)
Sharing is caring xoxo
From Bronze straight to Gold? Or do you mean the loophole helps you retain your current Gold status? Well done though! I'm jealous. Sharing is indeed caring 8-)
Straight to gold from any status. I started at bronze.
Wow! How did you even come across it - any hints?
@itsDANNY: A technicality in the terms for the Gold Accelerator program at certain ASX companies basically. You get 3 months gold status (immediate) to earn 12 months gold on top, terms say you can't have applied within the last 12 months, you see where it's going…
@soundboy5010: thanks for feedback. I was about to say something similar which is using Corporate Traveller agencies helps too. They often try to status match you (I did it before, literally just made up that I was gold with another program and they status matched me).
@Bargainitis: Yeah i previously did a similar thing years back between Qantas and Virgin, just status matching every other year. Nowadays I use points more so it's nice to stay Qantas Gold and build up my points.
@soundboy5010: Thanks for sharing - do enjoy it! Unfortunately only ever had a Silver accelerator at my ASX company which was a long time back and no longer offered.
What??? Please share! I'm a frequent QFF traveller and this would be something that would help me greatly
Free to air movies and tv shows that are decades old
Bruce Lee's, Jet Li's and Donnie Yen's movies in SBS :)
I want them to bring back Warlords. it was a good movie I watched on SBS.
I just remembered one now thanks. will post now thanks.
Fish pillows. Nice!
hey can you help me out on that post in the comments. I have a terrible memory, and I have a memory of finding this deal comparing prices in my head and thinking it's a ATL.
but now I'm doubting myself. do you remember seeing them for
$49/$59$30 sale price before?I think I saw them first for $30 when clicking the link from this comment. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16056530/redir
Most recently? Unlimited US$2 and US$3 coupons from AliExpress with no minimum spend. Before anyone asks they patched it after 1000+ orders (not all mine). Banggood had similar years ago with a coupon generator left active for years after the sale ended.
Countless Temu next to nothing price errors too.
Guys, being cryptic is great but as a community its not helpful. I get we may not want to share things that are current as moral hazard but if a deal no longer exists, no harm in sharing right? it will get brain juices running and could kick start another bargain!
Why don't I start with a couple:
American Express Platinum card had discounts for affiliations (such as CFA or AMA) which brought the annual fee from $1450 down to $1200. Able to get access to the $1200 discount without paying to be part of the affiliation (loophole closed now).
eBay when they had seller / buyer promotions, could make an arbitrage between accounts and make money, literally hundreds to thousands a month (promotions largely gone now)
Probably something really cheap from bunnings or ebay buys but honestly I feel like the deals I find anyone could with some simple googling.
Some short term power bank deals that i think were black Friday deals.
Some work pants years ago not really a deal just the best price for what I wanted. Cargo work pants basically.
Yeah lots of stuff I think is a deal is really just the best price at the time no big discounts.
