Find answers to common questions about MyDealz, our deals platform, and how to make the most of your shopping experience.
About MyDealz
What is MyDealz?
MyDealz is a community-driven deals platform where members discover, share, and vote on the best deals across electronics, fashion, home design, and more. We use a unique temperature rating system where the community votes on deal quality, ensuring that only genuinely valuable offers rise to the top.
How does MyDealz work?
MyDealz works through community participation. Members post deals they discover, and other members vote on these deals. Deals with many upvotes become "hot" and appear prominently on the site. This crowdsourced approach ensures you see deals that real people have vetted and approved, not just algorithm-generated suggestions.
Is MyDealz free to use?
Yes, MyDealz is completely free to use. You can browse deals, view pricing information, and access retailer links without any subscription or membership fees. We earn commissions from retailers when you make purchases through our links, but this never affects the deal rankings or prices you pay.
Temperature Rating System
What does the temperature rating mean?
The temperature rating represents how "hot" a deal is based on community votes. Hot deals have many upvotes, indicating exceptional value. Lukewarm deals have mixed votes, while cold deals have been downvoted by the community. The temperature system helps you quickly identify which deals are worth your attention.
How do I vote on deals?
While browsing MyDealz, you can upvote deals you find valuable or downvote deals that are misleading, expired, or not truly good value. Your votes help other community members make informed decisions and contribute to the overall deal temperature rating.
Finding and Using Deals
How do I find deals in specific categories?
Use our category navigation to browse deals by topic: Electronics, Fashion, Home & Living, and more. You can also use the search function to find deals on specific products or brands. Filter by temperature to see only hot deals, or sort by newest to catch fresh deals as they're posted.
What does "Verified Deal" mean?
Deals with the "Verified Deal" badge have been manually confirmed by our team. We've checked the price, discount percentage, and availability directly with the retailer to ensure accuracy. While all deals on MyDealz are community-vetted, verified deals have an extra layer of quality assurance.
Do deals expire?
Yes, many deals are time-limited. When we have expiration information from the retailer, we display it clearly on the deal page. Expired deals are marked as such and removed from hot deal listings. If you find a deal that no longer works, please report it so we can update or remove it.
Shopping and Security
How do I purchase items from deals?
MyDealz is a deals discovery platform, not a retailer. When you find a deal you like, click the "Get Deal" or "View Deal" button to visit the retailer's website where you'll complete your purchase. We link to established retailers like Amazon, major brand stores, and verified merchants.
Is it safe to shop through MyDealz links?
Yes. MyDealz links direct you to official retailer websites where you complete your purchase using their secure checkout systems. We only link to established, reputable retailers. Your payment information is processed directly by the retailer, never by MyDealz.
What about returns and warranties?
Since purchases are made directly with retailers, their return policies and warranties apply. Before buying, check the retailer's return policy on their website. Most major retailers offer standard return windows (typically 30-90 days) and manufacturer warranties on applicable products.
Account and Community
Do I need to create an account to use MyDealz?
No, you can browse and access deals without creating an account. However, creating an account allows you to vote on deals, save favorites, and participate in the community. It's free and takes less than a minute to sign up.
Can I share or post my own deals?
Yes! MyDealz thrives on community contributions. When you find a great deal, you can share it with the community. You can also share individual deals on social media to help friends and family save money. The more engaged our community, the better deals everyone discovers.
How does MyDealz make money?
MyDealz earns commissions from retailers when you make purchases through our links (affiliate marketing). This business model keeps our service free for users. Importantly, we never accept payment for deal rankings—deals are ranked purely by community votes, ensuring editorial independence and trustworthy recommendations.
Support
I have a problem with a deal. What should I do?
If a deal is expired, mispriced, or inaccurate, please report it using the report button on the deal page. For purchases or order issues, contact the retailer directly—they handle all transactions, shipping, and customer service. For general MyDealz questions, use our contact form on the Contact page.
