When do we allow a deal repost?

Do not worry if you are confused about the rules regarding when a deal can be reposted. We can clarify a few things.

Last updated on 07 Nov, 2025

There are several reasons and situations where deals can be reposted. However, we may sometimes have to merge these deals.

Reasons where we would allow a deal repost 

  • Same item and retailer but price has dropped by 5% or greater 

  • 2 months have passed since a deal was posted

  • Deal still market leading or on deal but has risen in price 

  • Item was previously only an in store deal but is now online or vice versa 

  • Same deal has been expired for 7 days or more 

  • New discount codes & promotions for a deal (even if this is the same price, item and retailer) 

  • Significant change to deal i.e. Deal now comes with a Currys £50 gift card 

 

Reasons where we would not allow a repost and we would merge 

  • Same item and retailer and the price has dropped within 5%

  • Same deal (Item, retailer & price) expired within the last 7 days 

  • Local deals such as reduced Christmas stock in supermarkets, if this is the same price, item and retailer 

  • Main deal price is the same as existing deal but Subscribe & Save now reduces price with or without a voucher

  • Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) seller item which has been expired within the previous 7 days and now is back at the same price and conditions but with a different code and / or voucher.  

A few things to note

We only merge and consider if a deal is a duplicate based on the deal titles and not items that may be mentioned in deal descriptions as this would become complicated. 

If a user uploads a local deal, we try to find out if this is a national deal but these may be occasionally missed and if this is the case or a deal now becomes a national deal, we would allow a new deal post.

We do not consider cashback rates such as Topcashback & Quidco to be a significant change. 

Subscribe & Save prices can vary with the use of vouchers and selected accounts, we consider this is additional information and would not allow a repost based on these.  But you are welcome to add this as a comment on the deal.  

We appreciate users contribution so for duplicate in store local deals, we will typically add your images and content as a comment to the existing deal. 

There are a small number of deals that may fall out of these rules, where this is the case we will review these separately and usually provide reasoning behind our decision.

Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) sellers regularly update voucher codes or promotions linked to a deal. While these updates might look like new deals, the final price and terms often stay the same. To reduce repetition and keep the focus on genuinely new offers, we merge posts which have been expired within the previous 7 days if the price and conditions of the deal remain the same.  

There may be occasions when a deal has been merged in error, you can report this deal using the report function or send the community support team a message for review.
