How Many Have Been with LD from the Start ?
Ask a Question
How many are original members I mean like from the beginning of Latest Deals ? I’ve only been a member since January 2019 and I really enjoy it and have been made so welcome 
Also when did LD start up ?
I've been with them since November 2016. I'm not sure when they started but I know I signed up not long after so I've been with them pretty much from the start
Hi,
I joined in October 2016, I think it had already been going as 'Latest Deals' for a couple of months at that stage.
This blog post is worth a read for a bit of 'behind the scenes' background:

Although I can see my starting date shows 2017 I am sure it was in 2016 for quite a while and all the members had to change over to the new group. The rules were different - we used to share referrals and freebies gained from other websites - but I totally understand why it has now changed. There were also lists and files of websites that we could apply for various free samples - I think we probably brought tears to the eyes of some swatch/material giving companies with our numbers of requests. I still get advertising leaflets from those companies, no matter how many times I ask to be removed. 
It was raw and fun but it has definitely 'grown up'.
It does sound fun but i have to admit i am seriously hooked on this ‘grown up’ site 
nipperjwb I'm not knocking the changes. lol. It just seems a very long time since I got the first freebies and we were all sharing the deals from a site (that shall not be named) for dirt cheap deals linked to Amazon. We all rushed to get them at a certain time in the morning and would report back to the group about our trophies. That's when my problem started, I think........ To be honest this site is very civilized and I am also hooked. 
It says Sep 2016, which is about right. I came over from the Pedlar site, which was like this but less fancy (didnt have all the social media pimping out the site, so a lot less exposure)
