Alternatives to SD?

I've been using SD for almost 18 years and the deals really are lacking nowadays. What other websites are you recommending?

I used to use Bing, for years. Only one account. Like $10/month earned.
Out of nowhere they emailed me and said I violated terms/rules and deactivated my account (with $10 they won't let me claim.) I emailed back asking for an explanation, no response.
Has this happened to anyone else??

Have you sent an email to Bing's customer service? I am sure they can address your issue. It's [email protected].

I couldn't even read it. She blocked me and I don't even know who she is. Seems sensitive. I am too sometimes.

I remember about 10 years or so ago where you could earn points to redeem for great stuff simply by playing games on Bing Search. It was so easy. I think the most popular redemption was for 2500 airline miles which you could accrue pretty quickly. I think I was able to redeem for over 250,00 airline miles.

You still can but it's nowhere near what it used to be. Back in the day I got an Xbox, some luggage and a digital camera. Just sold the Xbox last month. laugh out loud

I redeemed for an e-gift card for Target just by doing searches through Bing with the Microsoft Rewards program. Unfortunately I always forget to check to make sure I'm signed in on my phone or tablet. Last time I checked I think I had enough for another $10 gc at least.

I actually get more points on here and already redeemed for a couple tye dye shirts and have enough for something else again.

Edit: I actually have enough for two $10 e-gift cards to Target from Microsoft Rewards. Not bad for just using Bing as my search engine.

I don't know Bobby, but I remember you and I didn't know if anyone was going to get that reference.

It's usually because of a bad history with similar products on the forum. Some good deals unfortunately get thrown out with the bath water
But that reason, avoiding SPAM is not the reason all those google pixel codes were being deleted and I even got a warning. Since then i see deals and do not post.

I am on this website but will happily change if a competitor rises and is willing not delete deals like those google pixel codes.

I understand it's frustrating because it's also helping another SDer get a better deal, but I think most forums end up banning referrals because there will just be too many, and people will try to post multiple times so that their referral is used instead of someone else's. We would also have people post deals that aren't really deals just to get eyes on their referral, which is why in general we don't allow any kind of self promotion. If a competitor comes up with a solution I hope we can quickly copy them Smilie

Just so we're clear, there are no alternatives. Right?
