Deal Alerts no longer working for me

26 26 October 4, 2025 at 10:56 AM
My deal alerts stopped working a while ago. The most basic one is "quicken." It no longer triggers.

I saw the home page had a Sam's Club membership for $15 (personalized section) or $20 ("front page slickdeals" section)

I also saw this guide on making better alerts: https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=67718300&postcount=540

I created an alert and kept making it more generic until I got to: @title membership

I was warned it would send many triggers. But when I ran it, "your deal matches" had zero hits. Even though I was staring at active sam's club memberships if I did a manual search.

Has the deal alert function just completely broken? Thank you.

Same issue here - I also get zero hits on any of my existing or new alert triggers. It looks like it stopped working on September 20th - I've received no alert emails since 9/19, and before that I at least got two summary emails per day.

I have had a trigger happen since posting this -- Nord VPN worked. I had the existing trigger shown below:
nordvpn|"nord vpn"
I cannot edit existing deals which is odd, I have to delete and recreate them. I recreated my sam's club as shown below. I'll see if I got the trigger correct next time I run a manual check.

Desktop Browser Viewing -

When bookmarked/visiting from main page, alerts would appear as tiles in lower-right of screen.The alert push notifications stopped a week or two ago.

Now, when visiting main page, nothing. But if you click on deal alerts icon on top right-middle screen, they then populate.
