I feel like an old fogie asking this question, so forgive me. But "back in the day", it seemed that codes and deals for various merchants were grouped together in "official" threads for those merchants a lot of times. I notice that that doesn't seem to be the case as much anymore (at least from what I can tell). So if I have a code for free shipping on Clinique.com, for example, would it be preferable for me to start a whole thread just for this one deal, or would it not be better just to (re)create an official Clinique thread in which all Clinique deals can be posted, therefore cutting down on the number of threads taking up space in the HD forum?
We don't really have a set rule for it either way. It's more of a "if you start an official thread and the community supports it, great!". Also I guess it kind of depends on how popular a store or thread is. If an "official" thread gets very little action, I don't see a need for it.
Are you trying to put a coupon code in at a merchant when checking out? If so, every merchant is a bit different. For us to be able to help best, can you please let us know (1) if you are indeed talking about using a code at a merchant and (2) which merchant.
Is there a way to view all of the comments/topics posted by a particular user?
Thanks in advanceGood question!

Where would I go to post a note to let Fatwallet members know that Amazon has cancelled their 30 day price adjustment policy effective September 1? The CS now says they are consistently going to offer the lowest price without any availability of a price adjustment in the future.
One Day Later: BTW I just found a forum posting covering this info and I added the following Amazon response to it:
Thanks for writing to us asking about post-order price policies for items purchased from Amazon.com.
While we don't always beat the best available price on every product, we do offer deep discounts on many thousands of items and cannot offer discounts after your order is complete.
I hope you will understand our limitations in this regard.
From time to time, prices on some items will change due to special offers from suppliers and manufacturers or our inventory and sales volumes. When we can offer a lower price for new purchases, we will.
Stingingfork said: Where would I go to post a note to let Fatwallet members know that Amazon has cancelled their 30 day price adjustment policy effective September 1?Good question. Since it doesn't identify a specific deal and it is related to a merchant's pricing of deals, I'd say place it in Deal Discussion.
Stingingfork, there is already discussion of the Amazon policy change here. This is a great reminder for mods, oldies and newbies alike to do a search before posting new stuff.

I did note in my question a follow-up noting that I had found a post on the subject but I didn't consider asking a question about something a true post but thanks for the tip anyway.
A ways back, I could have sworn that there was a way for OP's to move an expired or dead post from Hot Deals to the Expired Deals forum. Does this feature exist? If not, how would one go about getting several old posts removed from Hot Deals to Expired Deals?
Lastly, just as a crazy suggestion, since there are something like 10,007 posts under hot deals, allow members to earn FatWallet schwag by going through all current hot deals posts and voting the deal "dead" if it is truly dead. It would be sort of a win-win, in that FW would save some space and not have to use precious work hours going through old posts, and members would get more of our favorite t-shirts. Of course, there would have to be a limit on earning (such as 1 shirt per year) and the bar would have to be set high (after voting "dead" for 2,500 posts) in order to limit the abuse of dead voting benefits.
I was wondering, I am the webmaster for a free sample site. Can I have a signature on my posts linking to my site? Or can I post links to the Totaly and Completely free offers that are on my site? (that I'm in no way affiliated with) I love the Fat Wallet site, and am in no way a threat to there massive site. I would just like to build some traffic.
Tegs, do you get anything out of traffic to your site? I.e., do you serve ads from which you profit? If so, no links to your site as that would be considered advertising. If you do want to post your stuff, contact FW to discuss how to pay for ads. You can of course post the deals/freebies themselves without links to your page.

I personally suggest the latter.
Regarding schwag for help, well…we’re considering options for the future. We like ideas, so keep ‘em coming!

Thanks!Actually, if you are the webmaster for a site, that qualifies as an affiliation. Sorry.
In fact, the reason we don't allow sigs is because people tend to put sites with which they are affiliated in them. Yes, this is not always the case, but that's part of the problem. If a good portion of people with links in sigs are promoting their affiliation, then it can be difficult to manage on our end.
We have a one day bump limit. To change your avatar, all you need to do is go into "my account," then "user profile." From there you can either use one of our avatars or upload your own.
Can't find any info in the FAQ about this. What does "Thread Rating: Normal" mean? The other ones make sense (Poor, Average, Good, etc.), but do they only show that rating or that rating and above?
I had a question about the HD free tshirt giveaway, which I posted on this page, but never got any sort of answer. Not sure the best place to ask it... of course it's almost too late so I suppose the question is moot. I was just curious about the answer.

Oh, about the answer, you're doing the right thing to not start multiple threads... but yeah in so-doing you're losing out on the T-shirt giveaways. NOT to worry, of course, because we'll take care of you. Thanks for all you do!

"Normal" means that it will show all threads, provided they have not been "ignored."

hello chujavier27 FatWallet Cash Back is not something you redeem anywhere but here. When you have Cash Back available to cash out, you can request payment by check or to your paypal account.
Good question. If you go to the Cash Back & Coupons, you will see a percentage listed beside most merchants. For example, 123Inkjets has 20% by it. That means that you will be eligible for 20% Cash Back if you sign in, go through us to make the purchase, and don't violate any merchant restrictions in the process.
The links on the OP (Original Post) are the closest we have to an instruction manual. If you ever have any specific questions, you're welcome to ask anytime.
Sure, go right ahead. You will probably want to identify clearly that it is only available in that city, though. Maybe you might want to put something like "local only" in the title.
