Year of the dragon starts tomorrow, and here we have another forum topic for announcing 2024's monthly awards. It has been 10 years since we started the monthly award, and each month I will be picking some contributors from the community, awarding with $150 prize in gift cards each (via GiftPay).
2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023.
Sadly, I couldn't find any really meaty prize winners this month, but OneTrueTatsuya did win a Weber Q and some other stuff: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/816726
I suspect many winning large prizes probably won't report it themselves.
Who is Dan Andrews?
Living rent free in your head apparently
Wooooooooooo! Thanks Scotty & team! :D
Anyone been to Dreamworld yet? I had to bail from going on my birthday to to the stupidly unpredictable weather.

@Jimothy Wongingtons has my vote for the First Annual Ozbargain Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence
Let us commemorate this great occasion with the appointment of a new religious holiday: the uh, feast of.. maximum occupancy
These are the winners last month.
I Smell Pennies for posting the most popular deal last month, Netflix Monthly: Basic ₦2,900, Standard ₦3,600, Premium ₦4,400 @ Netflix Nigeria. Unfortunately with Netflix tightening up on transactions through VPN, those deals are also drying up and lots of existing accounts got terminated (Turkey, Kenya, etc).
Scrooge McDeal for posting the most deals in Feb. 36 deals were posted with vote average of +108.4 making him one of the top posters with the highest vote average. Most popular deal posted by Scrooge McDeal in February was Free Dakar Desert Rally from Epic Games.
BillyStm for posting the most voted competition last month, Win an Isuzu D-MAX Ute or 7-Seat Isuzu MU-X from Network Ten. It's also the most clicked competition in February.
TruePursuit for posting the most competitions in February. 152 comps were posted with +6.6 average votes. Most popular comp being Win a $500 Chemist Warehouse Voucher from NBL and Chemist Warehouse.
Congratulations!
Congrats to everyone!! And thanks Scotty. 🙂
Congrats everyone!
Thanks Scott and congrats everyone 🥳❤️
Congrats to all, thanks for all your contributions to the community
I think the best prize winner for Feb has to be buddy389 who won a high end gaming PC from Origin.
Winners from last month:
hugamuga for posting the most popular deal last month, Singapore Airlines Round-The-World Flights from $1,809. This also happens to be the very first deal hugamuga has shared since joining OzBargain more than 5 years ago (and the only post so far).
asifpau for posting the most clicked deal and the most popular freebie last month, 4 Free Tickets to Kung Fu Panda 4 @ Telstra Plus. Big thanks to Telstra & various cinemas for organising OzBargain meetups last week as well.
Last Seen for posting the fastest trending deal last month, INIU 22.5W 10000mAh Slim USB C Power Bank $10.49 @ Amazon AU, which reaches +100 votes in 23 minutes & 20 seconds. Deals like this make you wonder whether one can have too many powerbanks.
Nost-dc for posting the most popular / most entered competition last month, Win an Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max and a Cygnett Prize Pack from Cygnett. Competition closes in a week so there's still a chance to win!
Congratulations!
Congrats to everyone!! :)
Congrats all
Congrats!
Thanks ozbargain
Thanks scotty and team
Hi guys, i am trying to redeem gift card that ozbargain sent it ask for Australian number ( which I provided)
but when I enter the OTP it says incorrect code. i have tried multiple browsers and different devices like mobile and desktop.
Any pointers?
Are they still using Giftpay? I had no problems claiming through them.
Yeah Giftpay exactly but it keeps saying OTP incorrect etc and not unlocking the gift card.
Okay, strange. Do you have any blocking extensions on your browser? Maybe try another device/browser?
@shaneb: i have tried all browsers. i might change the number to mrs to see if that works, otherwise will contact giftpay support.
January 2024
Here we have the winners of our monthly award for January 2024:
shxhshzhz for posting the most voted deals last month, 50% off OnePass 1 Year Membership $20 via Officeworks. Those 50% off 1 Year OnePass deals have been posted regularly last year and proved to be pretty popular. shxhshzhz has also posted 42 deals in January with vote average of +56.5.
Hinee for sharing the most clicked deal last month, Dreamworld Locals Annual Pass $50 @ Experience Oz. 25k+ clicks when it was available only to Queenslanders and those reside in northern NSW. Looks like some of you might organise a Dreamworld OzBargain meetup later this year.
mbcd for posting the fastest trending deal in January, Google Pixel 7 128GB $499 @ Telstra. Definitely one of the most popular phone on OzBargain for sure. JB Hi-Fi tried to match the price or made it even cheaper with Perks however the OG deal got to +30 votes in a bit just over 14 minutes.
Phalaxis for posting the most voted & most entered competition last month, Win a Samsung 75" Smart TV + Soundbar Worth $2,798 from Telstra. Phalaxis has posted 131 competitions in January with vote average of +15.4, including this competition that registered the most win last month.
