Welcome to July Stats.
Like last July, may of us are in lockdown so we've again made a lockdown deals page for deals that can be enjoyed from home. At least this year, we had the Olympians smashing gold medals which resulted in free Pizza Hut pizzas for all of us.
Father's Day is coming up soon and we've got a page with some deals that may be good for dad.
New stat: Top 5 stores with referrals. Top 4 no surprise but SelfWealth at #5 (1711 referrals) is interesting.

July 2021
tightarse for posting the top 3 mosted voted deals in July, $5 credit from Amazon, Free Indian Meals from Nilgiri's and $5 Bonus Cashback from Cashrewards. TA posted only 6 deals in July with +590 average votes. Definitely quality over quantity.
skido for posting the most clicked deal in July, Free Large Pizza from Pizza Hut. 42,000+ click throughs during the Olympics, although unfortunately many free pizzas got taken by the bots.
dealbot for posting the fastest rising deal in July, Free Davis & Waddell Electric Ice Cream Maker, which took less than 17 minutes to reach +100 votes (even though the deal was marked as expired less than 15 minutes after posting). Don't think anyone actually received the ice cream maker though, but some are lucky to receive $20 voucher from eBay.
gnv9 for posting the most voted, most clicked & most entered competition last month, Win a Ryobi ONE+ Tool & MCM Pack. She has also posted 113 competitions last month with +18.8 average votes. gnv9 seems to be absent this month — maybe someone else would win the most voted comp for August?
Congratulations to all the winners!
