Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about PandaPicks.
Getting Started
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.
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.
Click the Post button in the top navigation. Paste the product URL and we'll automatically pull the title, price, and images. Review the details, adjust anything that's wrong, and hit Publish.
Deals & Voting
Click the Expired? button on any deal card. Once enough community members report the same deal, an expired banner is shown automatically.
Deals must be UK-wide, genuinely available, and honestly described - no in-store-only finds, sale-spamming, misleading prices, illegal products, or referral links. Every submission is checked automatically against our posting rules.
Deal Alerts
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.
- 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.
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.
Monthly Giveaway
Top 3 deal posters each month win a £50 Amazon voucher (£150 total) — ranked by net upvotes on the leaderboard for that month.
Winners are picked on the last day of each month from that month's leaderboard, then announced on the 1st of the following month.
Any PandaPicks account. Deals must follow the posting rules — spam, duplicates, and flagged deals don't count.
We tally net upvotes on each user's posted deals over the month. Ties break on number of qualifying deals posted.
Amazon gift card code emailed within 7 days of the month ending. Confirm within 14 days or the prize is forfeited.
Founder Badge
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.
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.
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.
Only 100 are ever minted. Once all 100 are claimed, no more will be issued — so the earlier you post, the lower your number.
Account & Privacy
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.
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.
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.
