Question 1

Do I need an account to use Extreme Bargains?

Accepted Answer

No — you can browse every deal without an account. Signing in unlocks price alerts, saved deals, followed retailers and Extreme Points.

Question 2

How do I create an account?

Accepted Answer

Head to the sign-in page and continue with your email or Google. Sign-up takes about 30 seconds and it's completely free.

Question 3

How do I change my email or password?

Accepted Answer

Sign in, open your Account page, then Settings. You can update your email, password and notification preferences from there.

Question 4

How do I unsubscribe from emails?

Accepted Answer

Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. You can also toggle each email type on/off from Account → Notifications.

Question 5

Is Extreme Bargains safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We don't process payments and we never ask for card details. When you click a deal, you're sent to the retailer to complete the purchase on their site.

Question 6

How do I contact you?

Accepted Answer

Use the contact form — a human replies, usually within one working day.

Question 7

Do you have an app?

Accepted Answer

Not yet — but the site is fully mobile-friendly. Add it to your home screen for a one-tap shortcut.

Question 8

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Message us from the contact page and we'll close your account and remove your personal data within 30 days.

Question 9

How often are new deals added?

Accepted Answer

Every day. New deals are hand-picked, verified and published throughout the day — check back or turn on notifications so you never miss one.

Question 10

What does the Verified badge mean?

Accepted Answer

A team member has clicked the deal, confirmed the price and made sure the link works. Deals stay verified until the price changes or the offer ends.

Question 11

How do the hot/cold votes work?

Accepted Answer

Every deal starts at 100°. Members vote up (hot) or down (cold) and the temperature moves in real time. Anything above 110° hits the Hot Right Now page.

Question 12

What is the price history on a deal?

Accepted Answer

The sparkline shows how the price has moved over time so you can spot whether a 'deal' is really the lowest it's been.

Question 13

How do coupon codes work?

Accepted Answer

If a deal needs a code, you'll see a dashed pill with the code inside it. Tap to copy, then paste at checkout on the retailer's site.

Question 14

What does the Free Delivery tag mean?

Accepted Answer

The retailer is offering free UK delivery on that item — no minimum spend surprises at checkout.

Question 15

Why isn't my code working?

Accepted Answer

Codes can fail if the offer has expired, you don't meet a minimum spend, the code is new-customer-only, or your basket has excluded items (sale, gift cards, certain brands). Try another code or use the deal price direct.

Question 16

Can I submit a deal?

Accepted Answer

Yes — anyone with an account can submit a deal. Paste the product link and we'll auto-fill the details. Approved submissions earn Extreme Points.

Question 17

Why was a deal removed?

Accepted Answer

Deals get expired or archived when the offer ends, the price changes, or the item goes out of stock. Older deals may be hidden from search but still open via saved links.

Question 18

How do I report a broken or dodgy deal?

Accepted Answer

Every deal page has a Report button. Tell us what's wrong and we'll re-verify it — usually within a couple of hours.

Question 19

How do I earn points?

Accepted Answer

Shop deals via Extreme Bargains, save deals to your wishlist, share deals, check in daily, redeem promo codes, refer friends, and get one-off bonuses for signing up and your first order.

Question 20

When do shopping points land?

Accepted Answer

Shopping points are pending until the retailer confirms your order — usually 30–60 days depending on the returns window. You'll see them as 'Pending' in your ledger until then.

Question 21

What is a Point Booster?

Accepted Answer

Point Boosters are hand-picked deals with a temporary 2×–5× multiplier on the points you earn. Look for the Booster badge on the deal card.

Question 22

What can I spend points on?

Accepted Answer

Reward vouchers (Amazon, Tesco, Costa and more), prize competitions and live points auctions. Everything lives inside the Points Center.

Question 23

How do points auctions work?

Accepted Answer

You bid points against other members. When the timer ends, the highest bid wins and only the winner is charged. Losing bids are never deducted.

Question 24

Do points expire?

Accepted Answer

Points stay active as long as you check in or earn at least once every 12 months. Inactive accounts have their balance reset after that.

Question 25

How do referrals work?

Accepted Answer

Share your referral code from Account → Referrals. You get 250 points and your friend gets 100 bonus points once they complete their first qualifying action.

Question 26

My shopping points haven't landed — what do I do?

Accepted Answer

Wait until the retailer's returns window closes (usually 30–60 days). If they still haven't arrived, contact us with your order confirmation and we'll chase the retailer.
