Slickdeals.net Review

So this week we focused on three separate deal websites...Woot, Bargain Jack, and DealsofAmerica.

Today we will focus on my favorite deal site of them all. Slickdeals.net

What makes it better than DealsofAmerica? Which is the most similar of the deal sites that I have gone over this week. Slickdeals goes over some of the same deals that are detailed elsewhere and has the same coupons that are listed on DealsofAmerica. The big difference to me, is the community.

That's right. The community on Slickdeals is robust and extremely helpful. They will rate the deals and give feedback such as was there another deal out there that may be better. I find the communities reviews to be very comprehensive and well thought out for the most part.

Check out the "forum" area of this site. These two areas are my favorite.

Slickdeals also lists freebies. It lists what sites are giving away free samples of their products. However, if you do get into this service, please realize a number of these companies listed are small companies trying to grow their business. Only sign up for a freebie if you think that you may invest some of your hard earned money if you like their product.

Also, something that is fun is games that companies offer and give away free stuff. These can be grand prize type giveaways including vacations, cars, and cash or just instant win type games where you may win free shipping, a small coupon, or a candy bar. These can be time consuming but it can be addicting. I have spent just a small amount of time since I found slickdeals a few years ago. The biggest thing I have won is something from Bacardi Sliver which included a t-shirt, an umbrella, a beach bag, and a couple of other miscellaneous things.

Because of the active community and extra features that Slickdeals features it rated a 5 out of 5 stars by Deals That Matter.

Next week I am going to focus on your credit including what makes up your score, how to improve your score, and recent changes that you need to know about regarding credit scoring.

Review of DealsofAmerica.com

We have visited both Woot and Bargain Jack this week. These two sites are focused almost exclusively on one deal a day sites and sales. But there are more to deal sites than just one sale, on one site, each day.

That is where DealsofAmerica comes in.

Deals has it all. Hot deals, coupons, credit card offers, free after rebates, and a compare prices area on it's site.

What makes Deals really special, is that it does not just give you that a product is on sale, but what coupons and codes that can help you save additional percentage, a flat dollar amount, or even get you free shipping.

Right now the site is featuring it's Valentines Day Gift Center. You see a lot of merchandise from ice.com. Anyone notice the $15 off $20 order with coupon code from 1-800-flowers.com? I'm not linking it. I hate to inform you, you have to do a little work too.

To my knowledge, they are one of the first sites that list Black Friday deals from any number of stores.

Take some time to really go through the coupon portion of the site. It is very in depth and you will fantastic deals that you would be very hard pressed to find on your own.

My take. DealsofAmerica is a 4.5 on a 5 star scale.

And yes, I have a 5 star review for you on deal sites. What could it be? You'll just have to come back now won't you?
