There are three ways you can win prizes:

  2. Collect the most points by guessing the best and the worst deals each day and win our Monthly Deal contest (more info).
  3. Refer the most friends to Buxr and win our monthly Refer a Friend contest (more info).

How does the Daily Deal Contest Work?

We've tried to make the daily deal contest as simple as possible! We will award $10 every day to the person who submits the best deal ($5 for the best freebie).

How do I submit a deal?

Submitting a deal is really simple, just follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Buxr.com account or register for one if you havn't done so yet.
  2. After you login, click on Submit a Deal at the shopping page and follow the instructions.
  3. All deals are moderated first, so it may take a little time for your deal to show up.

What kind of deals can I submit?

You can submit any kind of shopping deals you want, but please try to make sure it fits the following criteria:

  1. It is available nationally. Popular product categories are preferred, such as iPods, GPS, Laptops, etc!
  2. It is a "good deal." We know this is subjective, but please use your best judgement.
  3. Please make sure the details are accurate! This is essential for success in the contest and the community.
  4. The deal is NOT self-promotion. Deals with referral codes will be edited or removed.

I just submitted a deal but it is NOT on the front page?

Your deal may not being displayed for the following reasons:

  1. It is still in the moderation que. Please be patient, we verify all deals for quality.
  2. Your deal has been removed because it was duplicate, inaccurate, expired, local only offer, spam, adult content, etc...
  3. Moderators have deemed it inappropriate for the site.

I won the daily contest. How do I collect my prize?

  1. You must be a registered Buxr user, with a current account.
  2. You must have an active and valid PayPal account (make sure it is selected on the Payee page of your Buxr account).
  3. Payment is sent within 24 to 48 hrs of the winning announcement.

How often can I win the Daily Deal contest?

You can win 1 prize every day.

What is the difference between a "Deal" and a "Freebie?"

A deal typically has a cost associated with it, where a freebie is completely free. We classify freebies as product samples, promotional items, free magazines, etc. Products that are free after rebate and printable coupons that come with an online discount code will be treated as deals.

How does the Monthly Deal contest Work?

We realize that not everyone wants to submit deals, so we've created another way to participate and win! Just vote for the "best" and "worst" deals of the day. At the end of the day we will announce our picks and whenever your picks match ours you win points good for our monthly grand prize! Here are the steps to follow to participate in the contest:

  1. Login to your Buxr.com account or register for one if you havn't done so yet.
  2. After you login, you will be able to give any eligible deal a positive or negative vote.
  3. Be thoughtful. You can only vote once for a deal and your vote is final.
  4. Be selective. You will lose points if you give a positive vote to a deal that ends up selected as the worst for the day. The same is true if you vote negative for the best deal of the day.
  5. Be modest. Do not vote for the deals you yourself submit.

When is the Monthly Deal contest prize announced?

The winner of the monthly grand prize will be announced on the 1st of the following month on the Monthly Contest winners board and also notified by email.

How is the Monthly Deal contest winner determined?

  1. Monthly contest winners are determined by the amount of points accumulated at the end of the month.
  2. Anyone caught tampering with the contest will be disqualified from the contest and their account will be terminated.

How does the Refer a Friend Contest Work?

  1. Refer a friend with a Buxr referer link (see referral options below).
  2. Your friend signs up using the link.
  3. Your account is credited with a pending referral
  4. Your friend must meet eligibility requirements to qualify as a "Good Friend."
  5. You must refer at least 5 "Good Friends" during the contest month to qualify for a prize.
  6. At the end of the month, we tally eligible referrals ("Good Friends") and display the winners on the contest page.

What is the difference among "Pending Friends", "Good Friends" and "Bad Friends?"

As you know, not all friends are created equal. The same rule applies at Buxr.com. We consider your friend a "Good Friend" if he/she meets the following criteria:

Pending friends are friends who have been referred but have not yet met the requirements to count as a contest referral.

Any pending friends who do not meet the above requirements within the contest month, will become "Bad Friends." These friends are NOT eligible for the contest credit. Referrals can also become "Bad Friends" if they are disqualified by moderators.

What are the reasons my friend can be disqualified?

You friend cannot live in the same household as you or any other member. Only the first member to sign up from the household will qualify. In addition we reserves the right to disqualify members/friends found attempting to tamper with the contest results.

What options do I have to invite friends?

At Buxr we give you 3 easy ways to make "Good Friends"

  1. Send an email to a friend through a "Share this Deal" link available on each deal page (visible when you are signed in).
  2. Add a Buxr Badge or Text Link to your web page (MySpace, Blog, etc). You can get these from the Affiliate Page.
  3. Add the Buxr Widget to your website. The link in the widget has your referral id.
How do I find out how many friends I or other members have referred?

Go to the Refer a Friend Contest Page to find the current contest standings. You can check what friends each member referred by clicking the "+" sign next to the member stats.

How do I win the Buxr "Refer a Friend" Contest?

Simply accumulate the most eligible ("Good Friends") friends by the end of the month (a minimum of 5 friends is required) and you will win the contest
