My 2022 Best and Worst OzBargain Deals

Thanks for sharing all the deals.

Best:

Bargained a few times, now I have a free Christmas IP camera.

A cashback was declined by Kogan for first deal of a new user, but TA gave me a BIG gesture.

Worst:

Fought several times, but eBay keeps asking screen shot. Who in the world would bother to keep screen shot while it displayed on the screen: It has been activated/You are qualified …even I provided browser history that I had been the activation link twice before I spent over $90 to qualify $10 eBay credit. (How to upload my browser history screen shot in this forum? Does anyone happen to take a screen shot of this $90/$10 activation?)
Lesson: messy eBay modules are way worse than twitter, while Musk is refreshing/fixing Twitter, do take screen shot of eBay confirmation.

    Best: Lenovo rewards if you got it
    Worst: Lenovo rewards if your order was cancelled 😅

    I got the H500 headphones for $4

      It was worth the email “reply all” saga

    I really enjoyed the free UTAS course this year and have signed up again for next. Thanks OzB! Also Cash Rewards Energy Australia sign up deal mid year just as my environmentally responsible retailer went bust. $50 off first bill + $150 cashback + old rates locked in for a year. Happy with that one!
    Bad deals all the useless crap I got because it was a bargain. Swearing off on that next year.

    Ebay can go (profanity) themselves. A few years back i clicked a banner for a free trial. It redirected back to the ebay front page. Then they started emailing me saying i owed $49 and wouldn't listen to the fact that i never agreed to anything and i had not got any email stating i signed up to ebay plus. They were adamant that i was a member, even though the free trial link was on my page. This went back and forth for a few months and i suddenly got a call from a "debt collector" for it. I topd get (profanity) and they stopped. But yeah. I repeat. (profanity) ebay

      They called a debt collector for $49? Tell them they are dreaming

    This would probably be in the running for the worst deal of 2022 https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/735892

    Muzeeb giving us the Alienware monitors was one of the best deals. Up there with the $298 Mavic 2 Zoom

    I can’t really recall a best or worst.

    The closest to best for me would be the $10 Belkin powerbanks form a couple weeks ago, but I had already ordered them a few hours before the deal was posted here.

    Best would be a price error and worst would be getting refunded from a price error?
