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.

It seems like the update for the Hat tips is credit card-style, first have to request it and then wait either 7 to 10 business days or two to four weeks, and even once approved you have to wait an additional 30 days for the Hat tip to be updated. 😆
it's now seeming worse still waiting on my first

Why isn't this named "Hat tip request thread?"

  I see here he's requesting 182 so why do you think he's getting super secret hat tips?

what I meant was that he hasn’t been posting those deals in the deal thread. For example his latest look at the part where it says ht: mileagejunkie https://www.dansdeals.com/shopping-deals/amazon/picobrew-craft-beer-brewing-appliance-279-99-shipped-amazon-519-price-drop/

Probably they developed a method that would automatically hide deal posts from certain users that have an amazing statistical track record for HT per deal posts... so that other sites don’t post them before it hits DDMS...I’m pretty sure they were working on this for a while...
