Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about deals, votes, accounts and community rules.
What is ChennaiDeals.in?
A community website where people in and around Chennai share online and local shop deals, and vote for the best ones.
How do deals reach Popular and the Front Page?
Every new deal starts on the New page. When enough members vote it up it moves to Popular, and with more votes to the Front Page. The vote limits are set by the site admin and can change.
How do I post a deal quickly?
Sign in, open Submit Deal, paste the deal link and press Get details from link. The title, price, shop, category, description and pictures fill in automatically. Check them, change anything that is wrong, and submit. Deals are then checked for the link, wording, prices and pictures before they go live.
Are these real deals or fake discounts?
We aim for real deals only. Many websites show a big crossed-out price and an offer price that is really the normal price. Here the offer price should be the price you actually pay. Real deals are posted after checking the price history and price trackers, so the old price is one the product really had. The Lowest price tag is given only when the price is the lowest we have seen. If you find a fake or misleading deal, press Report.
What do the Super hot, Hot, 50% plus and Lowest price tags mean?
They are scores worked out from the discount, how the price compares with its history and other shops, votes and checks. Super hot and Hot are the strongest deals, 50% plus means half price or better, and Lowest price means the cheapest price we have seen. Deal pages also show Compare prices in other shops and a link to a video review where one exists.
Do I need an account to post a deal?
Yes. Only signed-in members can submit deals, vote, comment and report. Create a free account in a minute.
Why was my deal rejected or hidden?
Deals are checked automatically for scams, wrong prices and unsuitable content. A deal can also be hidden after several serious reports. Check your link, price and pictures, and read the Community Guidelines. If you think it was a mistake, write to us.
What pictures can I upload?
Clear pictures of the product or offer. Adult, nude, violent, hateful or illegal pictures are never allowed and lead to a ban. Only the admin can upload videos.
How do I report a deal?
Open the deal and press Report, choose the reason, and send. The admin is emailed at once.
What happens to accounts that break the rules?
They can be banned, with or without a warning. Serious breaches, such as adult or illegal content, mean a permanent ban. Banned accounts cannot post, vote, comment or report.
Is a deal guaranteed to be real or still available?
No. Prices and stock change quickly and we are not the seller. Always check the seller, the final price and the return policy before you pay, and never share OTPs or card details.
What is the YOU page?
A page of deals in the categories you search and open the most. You can reset it any time.
Do you earn money from deals?
