I don't understand SD's "Offer Drops" thing.

I'm supposed to:

1) Install the SD browser plugin
2) Watch this page (https://slickdeals.net/offer-drops/) for magical blue "Claim!" button
3) Click the button...?

I am confused as well. Are we going to get a confirmation after clicking claim. I clicked on claim button on ebay and it brought me back to offer drop page.

They created so many useless youtube and instagram video. Should have created one with example and explaining how it is going to work.

I'm seeing the same issue mentioned above, hit the 10:30 claim and got dropped back to the main page without any feedback or the second chance.

Same thing happened to me. There was a countdown to 10:30 on my screen, the second the claim button popped up I clicked it, then was redirected to the home page showing the times and whatnot.

Same here- clicked claim after the countdown, it went back to the offers page with no indication of anything happening. No way to try again despite it not showing all claimed until several minutes later.

Using Google Chrome on desktop with the extension, was there any other option?

Yeah, same here. Clicked the "Claim" button that appeared after the 1 minute countdown and just went back to the offer-drops page without anything happening. Given that it took a few minutes for it to show "all claimed" (where I would have expected it to be a maximum of a few seconds), I'm guessing it's only working for a very small subset of users.

Hi everyone! This was our fault. There was a sync error on the timezones. The first drop is 9AM PST but for east coasters it popped up at 9AM local time instead of 12PM. in 50minutes the first drop will happen and its like the OP says, you click the button and either win or play a little game to win anyways. Im not saying we are giving away our first PS5 at 9AM...but its not, not a PS5. =P
