Ask The Blog: Your Amazon Deal Questions Answered

Every week, readers send us questions about how the deals page works, what to buy, and what to avoid. Here are the ones that come up most often. Q: Can I stack Amazon coupons with the deals you post? A: Yes. If Amazon has a clickable coupon on the product page, it applies on top of the sale price we list. The price you see on our deals page is the sale price before any coupon. Always check the product page for an extra coupon box — it can save you another 5 to 20 percent. Q: What happens when a deal sells out? A: Amazon marks it as out of stock and the price usually changes. We check stock before posting, but things move fast on popular items. If something sells out, the link still works — it just shows the current availability. We do not remove sold-out deals because sometimes Amazon restocks at the same sale price. Q: Are the luxury items really on Amazon? A: Yes. Amazon has a pre-loved and authenticated luxury marketplace. Watches from Breitling, Omega, and TAG Heuer are sold through verified sellers with authentication certificates. Jewelry from Tiffany, CHANEL, and Van Cleef is pre-loved, authenticated, and returnable. These are not knockoffs. Q: Why do some deals have smaller discounts than others? A: Because a good deal is not always a big percentage. A 10 percent discount on a $2,000 item saves you $200. A 50 percent discount on a $40 item saves you $20. We look at the dollar amount saved, the product quality, and whether the price is actually low compared to recent history. A small percentage on a great product at its lowest price is still a deal. Q: How often do the deals refresh? A: Every night at 9:30 PM Eastern Time. Twenty-one new deals — 15 regular and 6 luxury. The old deals expire after 24 hours and a fresh batch takes their place.

It does not change your price. It costs you nothing extra. It keeps the site running and lets us keep posting fresh deals every night. Q: Can I request a specific product category? A: Absolutely. Send us a message through the contact form on the site. If enough people ask for a category, we will add it to the regular rotation. Recent reader requests led to the outdoor gear and power tools categories. Q: Why don't you post refurbished or renewed items? A: Because our readers want new products with full warranties. Refurbished can be a good deal, but it is a different product condition. We only post brand-new, in-stock items. No renewed, no open-box, no closeouts. Have a question we did not answer?
