This is an easy one actually...you just have to structure Award correctly. In order for something to be 'Deal of the Year', it must meet these criteria:
1. Must NOT be a mistake or error on the part of the merchant.
2. Must able to be redeemed by ANYONE...not just a few people.
3. Must have MINIMAL hassle factor--sending in a rebate and waiting
2 months and having to do pricematching is NOT low hassle.
4. Must REALLY be deal -- going to a lot of trouble to save $10 is NOT
a good deal.
5. Must be something that you learned about mostly by reading these pages.
All that being said, I have participated in a lot of deals here, but I must say the best by far is :
The Lechters 50% off coupon
This was NOT an error, anyone could use it, the store gave you NO Hassle, AND it was GREAT---50% off right off the bat IMMEDIATELY--no waiting for stupid rebates...Best of all, I would have NEVER heard about it if I had not read these pages....BEST DEAL ALL YEAR !!
