tightarse for posting the most popular non-rep post in July, $10 Promotional Credit on $150 Amazon Gift Cards @ Amazon AU. In fact it was only the fourth most voted deal in July, and TA has posted the other top 3 as a rep of Cashrewards ($5 Bonus Cashback during Amazon Prime Day, $5 Bonus Cashback on $30 Spend and $3 Bonus Cashback on $30 Amazon Gift Card).
cheapm8 for posting the most clicked deal, Free Large Pizza on FIFA Women's World Cup Goals @ Pizza Hut. With Matilda getting into semi-final, more free pizzas are expected to come.
nicholasv for posting the quickest trending deal, Free 3x Disney Junior Pip & Freddy Plush with Amazon Prime. It got 100+ votes in under 8 and half minutes before being marked as expired 26 minutes after posting — lucky for those who stayed up late past mid night to score a nice freebie.
Phalaxis for posting the most entered competition, Win a $10,000 Harvey Norman Gift Card from SBS. Phalaxis has also posted 238 competitions in July with +15.81 vote average.
Congratulations to all the winners!
