Deal Submission Rules

These rules keep PostThisDeal useful for shoppers and effective for sellers. Every submission is reviewed by a human moderator against them. Deals that break the rules are rejected and no credits are charged.

1. The offer must be real

  • Working product URL. The link must open the exact product page. Redirect chains and link shorteners are not allowed.
  • Clear final price. Tell us the price the shopper actually pays after every discount and coupon.
  • Genuine discount. We recommend at least 15% off a real, recent selling price. Moderators may approve smaller discounts for launches, bundles or free-shipping offers when justified.
  • No deceptive reference prices. The “regular price” must be a price the product has genuinely sold at recently.
  • Accurate expiration date. Deals are automatically hidden when they expire. Extend them from your dashboard if the promotion continues.
  • Reasonable inventory. Do not submit a deal with a handful of units and a large distribution package.

2. Coupons must work

  • Enter the exact code and explain how to apply it (for example “tick the coupon checkbox on Amazon, then enter the code at checkout”).
  • Provide separate codes for variations if they differ.
  • Moderators test codes before approval and shoppers can report codes that stop working.

3. No reviews for deals — ever

PostThisDeal sells exposure, not opinions. Sellers pay for distribution — not favorable reviews, ratings, or verdicts. A deal may not require, request, or reward a product review, rating, feedback or testimonial. This includes “review after purchase” offers, rebates in exchange for reviews and any message that asks shoppers to rate the product. Submitting such a deal results in rejection and may lead to account suspension.

4. Prohibited products and content

  • Counterfeit, replica or trademark-infringing goods.
  • Weapons, tobacco, vaping products, recreational drugs and drug paraphernalia.
  • Adult content, gambling, get-rich-quick schemes and cryptocurrency offers.
  • Products making unlawful medical, health or financial claims.
  • Anything illegal in the shipping countries you select.

5. Imagery and copy

  • Use a clean product photo you own the rights to. No watermarks from other sites, no screenshots of listings.
  • Describe the product honestly. No fake urgency (“only 2 left” when it is not true), no misleading comparisons.
  • Disclose affiliate tracking in the submission form. Undisclosed affiliate links are rejected.

6. Moderation and credits

  • Submissions are reviewed in order; priority moderation is included in Seller Growth and Seller Pro plans.
  • We may request changes before approval. You can edit any deal that has not been approved yet.
  • Credits are deducted only when a campaign is approved. Rejected deals are never charged, and administrators can return credits at any time.
  • Repeated rule violations lead to suspension.
