If you answered yes to any of the above, then the Slickdeals Race to Rewards is for you.

Lace up your virtual running shoes! Now's your chance to join the elite ranks of past Race to Rewards winners. These racers successfully crushed each Race Stop and left their competition in the dust, all while helping The Community save money on great deals.

offer drops are more fair. The same people who 'won' last time will get it now as well.

Need to bring back the old contests where you got entrees based on several things including your time of being a member, your rep, etc.. and it was a drawing.

I misread it. I thought the deal had to go popular after the contest started, so I submitted what I thought was a slick deal about 45 minutes before the event started. And I was right, it did go popular! But it didn't count.

If I had waited 45 minutes, I would feel a lot better about my odds right now.

Best of luck to the rest of you though. I think this is a fun event.

I completed all the steps and I think I was the second person to post a deal and have it go popular after the start time, but I haven't heard from anyone saying that I won. Does anyone know what their process is for reaching out to winners? The anticipation is killing me!

I would imagine once the contest ends they will send messages out. Just a heads up though in the rules you have to include a note in your deal that you are posting this as participation into the SlickDeals Race to Rewards promotion. Don't want you to get disqualified because of that, I tried looking at your posts and didn't see it. Maybe you did though.

I saw that in the official rules as well and was a little confused. I interpreted it as if you were sharing a posted deal elsewhere that was already posted on Slickdeals, not if posting something TO Slickdeals. Whatever the case, I edited my OP with a disclaimer similar to you in your latest deal. Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm fairly certain that means that if you share your Slickdeal on Twitter or Facebook in an attempt to increase visibility and popularity you need to post that disclaimer. You don't need to put it in the item you post.
