What information should I include when I post a deal or coupon I've found?
Please try to include as much detail as possible in the title and create a title similar to the other ones found in the forum. Then explain any steps required to get the deal in your post. General info you'll want to provide include; expiration date of the deal or coupon, any minimum purchase requirements (such as spend at least $50 for it to work), link to the product/site, shipping and handling costs (espically if they're higher than expected), and the coupon code if needed. The more information you include, the better maybe perhaps even posting a link to a review for the item. Follow up your post if possible, to include new information or updates..

Why are links on this site broken?
Click here (http://www.dealdetectives.com/faq.php?h=2#2a) and follow the steps to fix your link problems.

Search first
Before posting a new deal or coupon, please use the search feature to see if your contribution has already been posted.

Repost
If you spot a repost, provide a link to the original post and private message (PM) a mod.
If your post is a repost, don't be discouraged. Better luck next time, someone else just beat you to it!

Does your deal have a rebate?
Please include AR (after rebate) to indicate the final price after rebate.

Where to post?
Deals go in the Detective Discoveries (http://forums.dealdetectives.com/viewforum.php?f=2) forum.
Coupons (http://forums.dealdetectives.com/viewforum.php?f=3) go in the Coupons forum.

If you want to post something that doesn't fit into any of the above categories try the The Lobby (http://forums.dealdetectives.com/viewforum.php?f=6).

If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions please visit the Suggestions / Problems (http://forums.dealdetectives.com/viewforum.php?f=4) forum.

Including the coupon expiration date in the subject line of each coupon post would be very appreciated. Thanks!

When Coupons and Promotions was created, it seems there was a permissions error. It should be possible for anyone to post here now.
