Slickdeals, LLC. founded in 1999, best known as Slickdeals.net, is a user generated driven deal site. Slickdeals.net sources deal and coupon content from its community and deal hunters. Additionally, Slickdeals actively negotiates with merchants to secure exclusive deals for its users.

During the Black Friday season, the site publishes data driven shopping reports, including deal predictions and price benchmarks for various categories. The Slickdeals app is available for both iOS and Android.

How It Works
Members find and share deals and coupons across a wide variety of products and retailers. The Slickdeals community votes and offers helpful feedback on the posted deals. The Slickdeals team curates the Slickdeals Frontpage with the offers based on the votes and feedback.

Forums
Once a deal is posted in a forum, the community votes on each deal and offers other members constructive comments regarding the value of the deal. If a deal gets positive votes and feedback, the Deal Editors review it. The editors will choose the best deals from the ones with the best reviews and then place them on their Frontpage. Sometimes a deal with a lot of votes may not make it to the Frontpage. This can happen for a few different reasons, often that the deal is limited in availability, in inventory, or it is region specific and therefore not useful to all of their customers.

But these are still very good deals with lots of positive feedback and votes, so they go into their "Popular Deals" section, where you can find excellent deals that are applicable in your residential area.

Frontpage
The Frontpage features only deals from merchants who have earned a solid reputation based on user feedback from previous deals posted on Slickdeals. Frontpage deals are selected from the pool of deals that has been approved by the community and examined by Deal Editors. Only the best are picked for Frontpage display. These deals are remarkable for their value, quality, scarcity or timeliness.
