Since I found SD, I make sure to check it before every purchase. They have an endless variety of items, and it really helps with saving money, especially if you subscribe to the items you're interested in. Just a heads up, though – there's a high chance of buying too much stuff! :)

“Sam's Club Membership”

Paid $25 to slickdeals for a Sam's Club Membership. Never got number ( Membership). I went to Sam's Club and told it is a scam they don't have any offers for$25. Contacted Slickdeals for refund they say not responsible, theses are vendors who use site. Well these Vendors pay them I sure. But it is false advertising on Slickdeals part, hum Class Action suit in works, still can't get my money back. I recommend NOT buying from Slickdeals.

They ban you from their site if you question their mods in any way. What a scam site and I can't believe they can act any way they want.

SlickDeals is allowing submissions of fundraiser for the Ukrainian Azov battalion Nazi party. If you explain the purchase of pc games for a fundraiser, the relief supplies and medical assistance is confiscated by the Ukrainian Azov Nazi party. SlickDeals automatically files a ban on your account. SickDeals has become another Democrat Communist WOKE company. They have allowed and do allow political discussion on topics they approve of. I've seen it. Cursing is often used by mods and commenters.

Quality really went down over the years, it seems like everything is just promoted content and theres nothing left of actual deals anymore. I think marqit.co is nice, it's easy to use, and they're adding price tracking

Verified purchase

ABSOLUTE SCAM!
Absolute scam! Sold me a $400 paper weight (printer) and refuse to help resolve in any way. When i reach out they were nothing but grossly rude. I contacted Brother directly and was told that this company IS NOT a reputable company and they will no longer cover warranty's of any products are purchased from them. They also advised me that we paid 3X what we should have for it.
They offered ZERO resolution to the problem. I will not let this go. Nothing but a bunch of scamming FU%^TARDS!

Tip for consumers:
ABSOLUTE SCAM!!!!!!!!!

I think the company is a scam. The first thing you read when you pull them up is that they are a free coupon site, it's all a lie. The company advertises all this stuff about being a free coupon site, yet they charge you a membership fee, and they start taking money out of your account when they are not supposed to and take out different amounts more than once a month. The company's coupons and savings that I have seen weren't legit and the coupons never worked on anything at any store that they advertised that they did work. I don't know how companies like this get away with stuff like this, and these days people are going through enough without being scammed at every turn; even by a coupon site. I would give less than 1 star, if possible, but it wasn't

Tip for consumers:
That they charge you and double charge your account fraudulently, that the site wasn't legit, and that none of the deals and coupons worked.

Was great a decade ago, now too many front page "deals" posts are just paid advertising for overpriced junk that retailers are having a tough time selling. Beware supposed deal threads posted by Slickdeals staff. And beware Slickdeals rebates, which never are paid to many people.

I purchased a product that SlickDeals stated they would pay a rebate on. Rebate was to come from SlickDeals, not the manufacturer.
My rebate was approved on 6/28/2017 and SlickDeals stated that I would receive my rebate in 5-7 weeks.
Rebate never came. When I contacted SlickDeals, they stated, "due to system error", rebate would take 8-10 weeks from approval date.
It is now more than 10 weeks since my approval date, they still have not sent rebate.
When I contacted SlickDeals again, they acknowledge that I am due the rebate, but will not even provide me with a date when I will receive my rebate.

This site sucks honestly. They only post deals where they know the advertiser (the stores) will pay them a commission. In my opinion, there's nothing good here usually.

Slickdeals used to be a great place to go and find deals that you may otherwise miss buy, lately, it seems Slickdeals has really become Shilldeals. Staff often push 3rd party sellers to the point that the same seller could be promoted 8-9 times in just a few hours, and we are talking about the same 3rd party sellers that Slickdeals staff specifically state goes against their rules (unless it's staff posted of course). New "staff" gain incredible reputation within the space of a week, Frontpage Deals are often put there with inflated votes from SD staff and moderators. As I said in the beginning, Slickdeals is no more. Welcome to Shilldeals, where staff and moderators are worse than your cheesy car lot salesmen, and get away with anything they want to regardless of the rules for others.

I lost $199 when I clicked on a fake DYSON website listed on SLICK DEALS. Don't trust their site. Advertisers are unreliable. PS. The seller, from mainland China, sent me a plastic toy. The scammers have done this over and over. Slick Deals is complicit by allowing fake advertisements on their site.

Purchased a DELL computer last November. Sent all forms and proof of puchase before the end on November. Heard nothing until January 25th. Approved. Here it is, April 4th, 2018 and have not received my rebate. It shouldnt be this hard.
Seems to be just another scam on the web. Bad thing is, Dell told me about this.

Ever since the original site owner/creator sold out to private equity firms, the site has become all about making money. The majority of posts are nothing more than sponsored ads, and spam posted by paid shills. Nobody cares about the members/community, and they have lost all integrity. I won't use the site anymore. There are plenty of other good deal sites, specially this time of year, like BFAds.net.

Site has fallen apart over the last few years. Not longer a deals site, but mostly questionable "deals" that Slickdeals promotes because hucksters are lining their pockets with referral dollars, all wrapped in a cloud of webads to shake even more sheckles loose.

Price compare anything this site promotes before you buy.

If you try to join and post a deal that is not their sponsor/partner - they will ban you. And they will rep up the ones they will make the most profit from and they will make you think it's community driven but all the users are company employees that hype a product. Then they spam your email. Some of which contains malicious contents.

Most of the 5 star reviews on this site are just them spamming. The others are led to believe they are getting a deal.

SD (for those of us who used to think of Slickdeals affectionately), has become a shill paradise and a home for a bunch of name-calling little kids. I used to go there first but find the cacaphony there nearly unbearable and can very often find better prices just by going to Google Shopping. Too bad, place used to be great but obviously sold out for more (but far less quality traffic) and the new folks running the place are morons. No longer recommended as first stop or for any extended search (and certainly not for questions or duscussion.)

Slickdeals is very corrupt. They knowingly post front page deals for for products that people got free in exchange for giving a good review, When you point this out to them they ban you.
