Topic Wiki

HTs have been last updated on 9/6/23

Q: I had deals posted to the main site, why do I have a zero?

A: It's not updated automatically, post a link to your deal on the forum(*), the DDMS link, and the number HT it should be and Dan will update it.

(*)If your HT is already in the DDMS post there's no need to link to the forum thread.

Hat tips are not awarded for:
-Amazon "Deal of the Day".
-B&H deal zone.
-Discountmags sales
-Credit card deals.
-Deals that are only part of a roundup.
-Deals that were posted as part of a master thread when they belong in a new thread.
-Deals posted in the following boards: SH, GD, TT, TDR, JS, or GFST.
-Deals that are posted with a thread title that doesn't spell out the full deal
-Back in stock/alive again updates within 3 months of the last update
-Deals posted more than 3 months after a forum post
-Updates to old post.
-Recurring sales such as 7/11 slurpee day, Rita's 1st day of spring, Nordstrom Anniversary, half yearly or seasonal sales, Flying Blue Promos, IHG Pointsbreaks, etc

Limit of 1 HT Per DDMS Post Per User.   

HT has always gone to who told me or posted first.
That includes but not limited to DDF, DDMS Comments, Facebook & E-mail.

There is no need to bump a request if it was made after the last updated date in this Wiki.

New Bump Rule: A bump counts if it's been 3 months since last post. Same applies for DDF, if someone posted it within the past 3 months they get the HT.

Don't mean to stir up controversy, but would this mean that Gold Box Deals now count for HT's?

ETA: A few lightning deals were given HT's previously, must be a mistake in the Wiki as Lightning Deals are Gold Box Deals.

IMHO, the wiki refers to "deal of the day" for which you find by just clicking on today's deals. Lightening deals are not statically placed anywhere on amazon and thus they need to be "found". Yes, they are in the deals section along with the deal of the day but they are scattered among hundreds of other deals (and not-so deals).

EX: The first 3 are deal of the day and are readily available to be seen by all at the click of a button. The lightening deals and other non-deal of the day (like the fire hd) are not and in fact every time you click on todays deals the list is usually sorted differently but the deal of the day items are always first.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

I get that. So you agree that there is a mistake in the Wiki that's all.

I realized that, and so have deals that involved coupons (which are also GBD by definition). All these are GBD: https://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/
Regardless, I corrected the wiki.

If someone else posted the deal earlier and the post HT is fixed, someones HT count will go down.

(Or if Dan had a really bad breakfast ;) )

This was a HT that I got a loooooong time ago. Nothing was changed now. My count was at 16 for a while, and the same is indicated by a DDMS search. Maybe it was removed accidentally when this post was changed to stooges44, and Dan took away one HT from me thinking that my count had been bumped for that post.
