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.

There is a thread for AA award flights, where everything related to aa awards can be posted if it does not involve serious discussions, which I'm guessing this post would fall into that category.

I see what you see"-Deals that were posted as part of a master thread when they belong in a new thread."
They belong in a new thread when they are a new deal, but a simple new search function?

If it is so simple he wouldnt write a whole post about it.

Your logic is basically; if a post is written then obviously it needs it's own thread. Wiki rules can state that, and they dont for a reason. It clearly states "if they belong".

Sometimes a post in a new thread will get comments linking to the master thread so.... and who am I to predict when there will be a DDMS post?

In short, if it's newsworthy, make a new thread.
If its 20% off Groupon, use the master thread.
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.
