Welcome to May Stats.
Six out of ten of our most popular deals in May were from Cashrewards in their huge push for marketshare. The huge spending by the company with their signing of Steve Smith, heavy tv & billboard adverting, seems to be spooking the investors. In another note, Plastiq/Jamjar stopped responding to customers and has seemed to have run off with everyone's money.
Ring Sizers were apparently the hottest new trend in May. Discussion

skido for posting the most voted deal last month that's not posted by a rep, $10 off $20 Min Spend with AfterPay on Eligible Items @ eBay. Reason it got so many votes was that eBay initially had an issue with the coupon code, where there was no minimum spend hence many items under 10 bux became freebies, without a need to sign up to Afterpay. Most voted deal from a rep last month was $10 Cashback with $30 Spend Offer from Cashrewards, posted by tightarse.
gnv9 for posting the most voted competition last month that's not posted by a rep, Win a Volkswagen T-Roc X or Weekly Prizes from Sydney Swans/Volkswagen. Car-competitions have always been popular, as the next highest voted comp was from Smalot11 to Win a Hyundai Venue Elite from Wipertech. The most voted comp from a rep last month was again posted by tightarse, Win 1 of 3 Prizes of a Purple iPhone 12 & Double Cashback for 12 Months from Cashrewards.
ozmma for posting the most clicked deal last month, Up to 50% off adidas @ eBay Australia. adidas deals have been very popular on OzBargain for some reason. I guess BOOST is Life.
Special recommendation from the moderators — shadow131 for offering many Samsung Shop vouchers for free to many ozbargainers asking for it. A true hero indeed.
Congratulations to all the winners!
Here are the winners:
