Question 1

What is PandaPicks?

Accepted Answer

PandaPicks is a community-powered deals platform. Members share the best discounts they find online, and the community votes to surface the hottest deals. Think of it as a deals feed driven entirely by people like you.

Question 2

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

You can browse all deals without signing in. To vote on deals, post deals, leave comments, or set up deal alerts, you'll need a free account.

Question 3

How do I post a deal?

Accepted Answer

Click the Post button in the top navigation (or the + icon on mobile). Paste the product URL and we'll automatically pull the title, price, and images. Some retailers block automatic scraping or hide their prices behind login walls — if the details don't pull through, just fill them in by hand. Review everything, adjust anything that's wrong, and hit Publish .

Question 4

What are Deal Alerts?

Accepted Answer

Deal Alerts let you get an email whenever a deal matching your keyword hits a threshold you set. For example: email me when a deal containing "PlayStation" gets 10 upvotes.

Question 5

What trigger types are there?

Accepted Answer

Minimum votes: triggers when a matching deal reaches a specific upvote count you choose. Trending: triggers when a matching deal starts picking up momentum and enters the trending feed. Both check every 5 minutes.

Question 6

How do I manage my alerts?

Accepted Answer

Go to Alerts in your account menu. From there you can create, edit, and delete alerts. Each alert fires at most once per deal, so you won't get duplicate emails.

Question 7

What is the monthly giveaway?

Accepted Answer

Top 3 deal posters each month win a £50 Amazon voucher (£150 total) — ranked by net upvotes on the leaderboard for that month.

Question 8

When are winners announced?

Accepted Answer

Winners are picked on the last day of each month from that month's leaderboard, then announced on the 1st of the following month.

Question 9

Who's eligible?

Accepted Answer

Any PandaPicks account. Deals must follow the posting rules — spam, duplicates, and flagged deals don't count.

Question 10

How are winners chosen?

Accepted Answer

We tally net upvotes on each user's posted deals over the month. Ties break on number of qualifying deals posted.

Question 11

How is the prize paid?

Accepted Answer

Amazon gift card code emailed within 7 days of the month ending. Confirm within 14 days or the prize is forfeited.

Question 12

What is the Founder badge?

Accepted Answer

The Founder badge is a permanent mark of recognition awarded to the first 100 users to post a deal on PandaPicks. Each founder gets a unique number from 1 to 100, shown next to their username everywhere it appears — on deals, comments, profiles, and the leaderboard.

Question 13

How do I get one?

Accepted Answer

Post a deal. The first 100 users to submit a deal are automatically assigned a founder number in the order they posted. There's nothing to claim — it appears on your profile as soon as your deal goes live.

Question 14

Can I lose my Founder badge?

Accepted Answer

No. Once awarded, your founder number is permanent and can never be reassigned. It stays with your account for life, even if you stop posting.

Question 15

How many are left?

Accepted Answer

Only 100 are ever minted. Once all 100 are claimed, no more will be issued — so the earlier you post, the lower your number.

Question 16

How do I set a username?

Accepted Answer

Go to Profile from the account menu. Enter a username between 2 and 40 characters and save. Your username is shown next to comments you post.

Question 17

Can I upload a profile picture?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On the Profile page, click the avatar area to choose an image file (max 2 MB). It'll be shown in the navbar and next to your comments.

Question 18

Where can I see deals I've posted?

Accepted Answer

Click Posts in the navigation or account menu. Only you can see this list - it shows all deals you've submitted along with their vote counts and expiry status.
