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.

BUMP
Never got the HT.

You need to post the source thread to get HT credit when it's not in the post.
Thanks.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this - but is there a place where our H/T's are listed. I got a 4th one recently, and I couldn't figure out what it was :)
Just need to search for your username.

I very much appreciate getting #31, but have a question -  how does one address in between HTs?

I posted on October 17th asking for #30 for https://www.dansdeals.com/shopping-deals/apparel-deals/clothing/save-50-off-neiman-marcus-last-call-8-non-iron-dress-shirts-just-32-50-shirt-shipped/

On November 1st  I posted two deals which wound up on the DDMS:

https://www.dansdeals.com/shopping-deals/coupons/macys-48-hour-sale-save-20-off-48-plus-get-free-shipping-48-orders-save-oxo-pop-containers-dockers-14-99-2/
https://www.dansdeals.com/shopping-deals/photos/2-hour-flash-sale-10-4x6-photo-prints-free-walgreens/

I was credited with HT #30 for the Macy's deal, I assume because Dan himself listed it on the DDMS. However in sequence that should have #31 and the Walgreens should have been #32.

Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.

Seems like the executive decision is no HTs for mini stories
Correct, same as a roundup as per Wiki.

I appreciate this, but now I think I have more than I should have (my count is 32, I think).

LATE EDIT - no, you are right it was 35, thanks for that link.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.
