Worst place. The moderators don't allow posting deals. They post what they like.

Hi Quazi M, We love when people share deals with each other. To help combat shilly merchants or spam we do have some guidelines for 3rd party merchants but we only do this to keep the site nicer for the community.
I've been a member of Slickdeals for over 16 years, and they have really gone downhill fast. No one is allowed to say anything remotely negative about the site or mods, or your post will be deleted or you will be banned. I commented yesterday about the decline of the site (nothing very negative at all, and I was polite about it) and they deleted my post and all the replies to it. The only reason why I knew there were replies was the green pop up messages when I enter the site, but when I click on the link to go to the post, it is gone. So I don't know what other SD'ers said to me about my post, but I have to assume they agree with me since their replies were gone also. Over a year ago, I got a "warning" for posting a link to another website that would save people money. The mod who "warned" me told me it wasn't an actual warning, but just a reminder to not post outside links on SD. The warning is still there on my account, and it looks like it will never go away at this point. That's what I got for trying to help the SD community. Gestapo moderators have ruined the site. I very rarely post anymore and after yesterday I'm done with them for sure. There aren't any "deals" on there anymore, they're all paid advertisements from Amazon, Walmart, eBay, or Target. The site is a waste of time now. Back in the day, Fatwallet was the competition for SD and kept them on the straight and narrow, but Fatwallet went out of business a few years back and Goldman Sachs bought out SD, they've turned it into a ghetto. So, after 16 years of contribution, thousands of posts and a high rep number, I'm done. I suggest anyone else avoid the site now.

Hi Rob, I just gained access to this account so that I could reply to your post, sorry for the delay. I am sorry that you had a bad experience. Can you either tell me what your username is/was on Slickdeals or if you'd prefer, you could email our team at [email protected] we's like to look into. this for you.
Of all the deal sites I watch I find that SlickDeals has the most accurate data and usually the best prices found.

Hi QuickBuk, We're thrilled that you like the site. We love seeing how many people are saving money using Slickdeals!
Slickdeals are not slick anymore. Many deals on site are paid promotions.

Hi DannytheBoy, We don't allow merchants to pay to have deals posted. That said, we do look at deals merchants send to us and if they are deals we think members would really like we will post them. We also turn down lots and lots of deals as well as giving them (merchants) advice on how they can make the deal better so that it might be worthy of getting posted on Slickdeals.
I have signed up in 2005, Now L9. Finally have leave it's discussion because this site has turned into a paid site. Chinese sellers are spamming there day/night. Leave it and save time&money.

Hi Keith, I am a fellow SD addict. I impulse shop a lot. So happy to hear from others who like the site :)
Be very careful of the slickdeals browser plugins. They show you cashback and later refuse as ineligible. I made a purchase of 1700$ at adorama and used slickdeals with activate cashback. They recorded the click and classified it as ineligible. When I asked why I did not get any cash back, I was told that slickdeals does not have any promotions going on adorama. Clearly, the company pocketed all the referral bonuses and showed the middle finger to me. For the last several years, I have been using couponcabin and never had a single issue like this, especially a 1700$ purchase.

Banned people without proper warning or reason. Gave no chance to resume account for no reason. UI doesn't look good anyway.
