New: Bonus Points Available for Great Comments!

News

Hey guys,

We launched the point system to reward our amazing members for contributing to the community - whether thatโ€™s by liking posts, commenting, reporting expired deals or anything else!

Weโ€™re excited to say today that weโ€™ve added in a new incentive for writing awesome comments - if your comment gets three or more likes youโ€™ll get awarded 20 bonus points ๐ŸŽ‰

Whatโ€™s an awesome comment?

  • A helpful comment answering a member's question
  • Something insightful. Say someone posts a deal for a lawnmower you already own - comment with whether itโ€™s good (or bad!)
  • Something funny that makes people laugh!
  • Or just something thatโ€™s popular with the members of Latest Deals!

In an effort to make the points system clear weโ€™ve created a new one-stop-resource for all things points. You can access it here: https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/points

The new points page shows

  • What you can earn points for
  • If there are any limits to how many points you can earn in a day
  • The rewards you get for earning points
  • Your point history - explaining where points came from (or, occasionally, went to!)

Good luck on your quest for awesome comments and we hope you enjoy this new way of earning points ๐Ÿ™‚

I think this sounds interesting & I hope this leads to helpful comments etc not into debates on people's posts. For example if someone had posted a deal for something in the Sun newspaper people won't start commenting with their own personal views on the newspaper and still focus on the deal itself.

SandyRhodes TBH that sounds like trying to censor comments, which I'm guessing isn't the point. Also many, many people have strong views on The Sun for good reason.

That's neat. Hopefully it'll make folks construct better comments than just 'Thank you' or 'Hi'. Not saying that person may or may not be thankful for it but adding a bit more of context wouldn't hurt.

This is a fab idea with a great incentive to keep building your points. It's a great friendly site where such good people share with each other fantastic bargains and savings that they discover, so lots of people from all walks of life, can come together and share the savings. I've had some fantastic bargains and freebies, that I would never have known about, if I hadn't joined this site. With the extra advantage of earning points for Amazon vouchers, for my account...brill.

Do I read that right, how long have you been doing this?

UrsulaDias lol yep, you donโ€™t need to get an eye test just yet ๐Ÿ˜œ Iโ€™m actually on 164 217 but having passed the last few, tough hurdles, it wonโ€™t take long (Iโ€™ve been on here since the start)

just watch out for those extra extra opportunities to get more points, like the bounty challenges that pop up now and again - that usually bumps up the points quickly

as long as you enjoy the journey, youโ€™ll breeze through ๐Ÿ˜Š

It's nice to show appreciation to others. Just a pity when you post a competition and hundreds enter and only a few make an effort to thank you. It take a second to click enter - what about giving us a thank you ๐Ÿ˜

Users chit chattin' and just discussin' is one of the areas which HUKD reigns over but hopefully this incentive changes things. Not just because there's a reward but in general.

Fellas at that site talked about getting a tip and LD offers that so they might be interested in joining.

"First come, first served." imagine if I LD had been the first over HUKD. ๐Ÿ˜œ

It's a good idea but flawed. Once people get the boat moving, this shouldn't be necessary anymore as the amount of likes a comment gets is impractical. On Twitter/Facebook/YouTube someone can write a single word and get hundreds/thousands or millions of likes so this takes me back to the perspective quantity vs quality. A slippery slope, that is.

Great initiative to get people talking on here but it's not being done naturally but rather there may be a reward.
