A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a Chase Sapphire card offer where you can call in and ask to be matched to 100K.

There were other fun stuff too. You could get an Amex gold and platinum, call up a rep, and they would hand you 175k points. Then you could close the cards, open new ones, rinse and repeat.

Is it a decade of DD? (The calendar decade won't end for another year.)
Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

I very much enjoyed the stars aligning last month for BBGC: 5x FR + BBGC rates skyrocketing + last month before new limits set in + a certain CC bonus netted quite the profit. Wasn't the easiest money I've made but sometimes actually having to work for your money can be more enjoyable than clicking a few buttons on your computer

It wasn't. I thought at this point everyone was just posting their favorite deals in general.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

There are too many to list. 
My first DDF Deal was WN Personal & Biz Card Sign Up earning me Companion pass. I also signed up for what eventually become 100K Avios sign up offer.
No fee Chase Gift Cards made for easy churning until it got killed.
Amazon Payments
SBS
B6 90% off ex-NYC flights for the day after Tisha B'Av
Delta Glitch
Widero Glitch
Airbnb BOGO for new sign up.
Deals I didn't take advantage of:
US Airways Fuel Dump- I'm surprised no one mentioned this.
Expedia.CA Vegas Deal- I was sitting in my car with a friend and couldn't convince him to come along. I should have gone alone.
EY Christmas Morning Glitch
4 Mile Island
ELAL Glitch
UA Deal- I don't recall all of the Details but it I had booked in Lie flat F from LHR to ORD. UA ended up cancelling all the flights booked in that deal.

Another fav for me was being able to take the Island Hopper and visit ROR. I wouldn't have even known about either of those if not for DDF. Unfortunately Jellyfish Lake was closed when I was there so I guess I'll just have to go back. (Won't be taking the Island Hopper in Y again though, that was brutal.)

A6000 Prime day deal. Ordered while on the taxiway for a friend’s wedding in Israel, courtesy of the 44% Qantas bonus.
