“Very helpful”

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! :)

SD used to be a good site. Last year or 2 has gotten bad. They do not care to get people good deals. I posted a comment about one of the posted deals and how you could get an even better deal by using the Honey app on the posted deal and they deleted the post and warned me that I would get a strike because apparently Honey is one of their competitors. What crap. I just wanted to help out other deal hunters. I deleted my own account and won't use SD any longer.

Slickdeals is dishonest. Users don't know that Slickdeals is making millions off of them through referrals that Slickdeals' servers automatically add to the end of any link submitted by users. While other sites do this, at least FatWallet offers to split some of those riches with their users, offering "Cash Back". Slickdeals is the "big baby" of deal sites. You can't mention FatWallet without Slickdeals' server censoring that word. You can't mention or link to any site that provides useful price information, e.g., CamelCamelCamel.com. Why? Because if you click to that site to look up a price, and you buy it from the link at CamelCamelCamel, Slickdeals doesn't get the referral. They are unwilling to lose the 4-5% they steal from your Amazon purchase! You also can't strip their referrals off links you add. They don't allow self promotion, but moderators routinely post links to magazine deals that --- not surprisingly -- have a referral link for Slickdeals. In other words, the "deals" they post are mainly deals for Slickdeals' admins -- because they get rich off the referrals. They're not exactly looking out for your best interests, are they? Keep that in mind. There are some helpful posts by various users on their forums, but strip off the referral link if you want to make any purchases.

Fantastic source for online/in-store deals - This site is a must-visit for daily savings on gadgets and more. They have a pretty comprehensive list of deals for a variety of online retailers and stores. For the best deals, check out their forums for frequently updated codes and discussion threads (thread ratings a plus). I'm a big fan of the coupon forum.

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.)

I search for many products from electronics to supplements, food, etc. And thanks to SlickDeals I can have a better price and have rewards in cash you can change for example in PayPal.
I recommend having an account in this tool.
They need to improve, to have a comparative price software in different sites.

Slickdeals.net has been around for a long time now. I've been purusing it for about 6 or 7 years. What it is not is a retailer or reseller. It's a listing where registered users may post "hot" or "slick" deals they find on or offline, such as a printable coupon for a free 32 oz at the QuikyMart.

It's a one stop source for sales, coupons, and good deals on practically anything and only depends on what sales are occuring and that users post them to slickdeals. I've purchased clothes, computer parts, and gifts from there and also have gotten a lot of free stuff too.

They update multiple times daily so you have to keep an eye on it if you are shopping

It is not too bad. But it is also seriously crowded. They need to clean up their site and make it look more appealing to the eye. They may find that their site revenue goes up and people will stay longer.

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.

I have been a member of this site for years! I actually check several times a day to make sure I am not missing anything...

From the front page deals to the forums for people looking for deals, this site has it all...

One of the best websites for online deals. I used the site to avail really good bang for buck deals. The forums look a bit cluttered. I guess they should work on the way data is presented to give a neater look to the website.

Love Love Love this site! It's my first stop when I am looking for gifts - I can also find the perfect idea for someone and save money.

Only down side is that occasionally, I find so many good deals that I can easily spend more than I intend unless I have will power!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I can't give it a heart as I cannot seem to get to the user friendly level, I think the community aspect of the site is great. I like the forums there; if you are looking for something most people seem helpful (although there are some not so nice people on there) I go there mainly to see the free deals and I guess I am not there enough because I have yet to score one. However with the community help I got a great deal on 3 sonicare toothbrushes via Target so all that looking paid off! I hope in time to getmore functional on the site, it may be ME with the issue, not the site.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!

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 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.

I found some good coupons in their website. Also like the website interface. But still there are many coupons that don't work. So they need to verify coupons more.

I have been looking for power tools for my home shop for months, but kept missing the sales. I put several in as Slickdeal alerts and got a hit THE NEXT DAY at the lowest price I'd ever seen for that product (it was a one-day flash sale at Home Depot). Some reviewers have panned this site, but it sure worked for me.

I have this site on my home page thru My Yahoo and check it every morning. In the last six months I found a stackable Samsung washer/ dryer combo for hundreds less than anywhere else. Check it out.

Most of the coupons on this site does not work. Some of the deals are more expensive than going directly to the original website to buy products. So be careful. Do the research first.
