Most deals don’t survive the check.

The five steps

1. 01

   We look at everything

   Retailer feeds, newsletters, price trackers and reader tips. Roughly 140 UK offers pass the desk on a normal weekday. Nothing is published at this stage.

2. 02

   We check what looks promising

   A person opens the offer at the retailer, confirms the live price, compares it against what the item has actually sold for recently, reads the terms, and tests any voucher code in a real basket.

3. 03

   We reject most of it

   Around nine in ten are dropped. The usual reasons: an inflated ‘was’ price, a saving that only works if you buy three, stock that has already gone, or terms that undo the offer.

4. 04

   We publish what survives, with the catch

   Each deal gets a plain-English verdict, the reasons it made the list, the conditions that matter, and a timestamp showing when it was last confirmed.

5. 05

   We re-check and remove

   Live deals are re-checked regularly. When one ends, it stays visible for seven days marked as ended, then comes off the site.
