About SnagBeacon

SnagBeacon is run by one deal hunter — a real person, with software doing the round-the-clock part. No scraped firehose, no recycled affiliate feeds: candidates are surfaced automatically, each listing is fetched live at the retailer before it posts and re-tested while it is up, and the borderline ones wait for a human look.

How we test

Every find gets checked at the retailer at posting time — cart price, code, stock — and re-tested while it's live. Deals show exactly when they were found and last tested, expired deals get marked instead of deleted, and price errors carry honest odds of actually shipping. The full process is on the how this site works page, and our track record is public on the live status board and reader wins pages.

Editorial policy

Commissions never decide what gets posted — the price does. We may earn a commission when you buy through links here (full disclosure), it never changes what you pay, and we mark every sponsored link. Corrections: if we get a price wrong, we fix the page and say so.
