What is Dealspoon? How does it work?

Dealspoon instantly notifies you of "Deals of the Moment" based on your Deal Alerts via email, text message, or Twitter.

So you're wondering what a "Deal of the Moment" is. Take a product with a limited quantity, drastically slash its price, and sell it till it's gone. No one is really sure who started the trend, but one thing is known for sure, this is the best way to get stuff on the cheap. Combine typical markdowns upwards of 30-70% off and a little patience, and you can get goods at a sinfully satisfying discount. Some of the well known "Deal of the Moment" sites are Woot, Steep & Cheap, and Yugster.

Is Dealspoon a retailer? What's in it for you guys?

Dealspoon is not a retailer, rather we bring you the links to products and stores that you have created Deal Alerts for. We have setup agreements with the retailers featured on the website that allow us to earn a commission if you buy the product. It also doesn't hurt if you make a purchase from a product that we recommend.

How is Dealspoon different than those other guys?

Dealspoon originated from the notion that there is more to life than sitting and scouring "Deal of the Moment" sites. Simply let us know what products you want by creating Deal Alerts and we'll let you know when it comes up.

Does it cost anything?

Zip. Zilch. Nada. It's absolutely FREE.

What is a Woot-Off?

Wikipedia describes it best: "The site occasionally deviates from the one-product-per-day model for a "Woot-Off", where a succession of products are available for a period of unannounced length, usually 24-72 hours. This mode is indicated by rotating lights and a bar displaying the percentage of product's stock remaining. When one product sells out, it is replaced within a minute or two by a new product. The percentage bar is the only indication of how much stock remains; Woot never gives the exact quantity available until after the item has sold out."
