Wishabi showcases millions of products from over 350 stores across Canada and the US. Making sense of all these data requires a massive data processing machine. But there is more to it than bits and bytes. Each day, a community of deal hunters shares hundreds of deals with Canadian shoppers. Who are these people? What do they do to help Canadians shop smarter?

Who are the Deal Hunters?
Deal Hunters embody our passion for finding sweet deals, sharing them with us so that everyone can benefit. These shopping sleuths are drawn from the ranks of shopping enthusiasts such as yourselves, and are readily committed at improving the shopping experiences of fellow Canadians. Deal Hunters scour flyers, monitor online forums, and stack coupons and rebates in order to find deals no matter how obscure. Our top deal hunter (PatriGirl) of 2009 has posted almost 20 thousand deals so far!

How does Wishabi deal hunting work?
Any Wishabi member can become a deal hunter by posting deals to items listed on Wishabi from Canadian stores. You simply find the item you want to post for, then click “Post a deal”. In recognition of their efforts, we split a pot of cash with our deal hunters every month. The pot size for January 2010 is $650. Your share of the pot depends on the number of points earned by you as a percentage of the community’s total earnings. Every time you bring in a top deal, you can earn up to 8 points depending on the popularity of the item. Additional points will be awarded if you post deals form special merchants, and every time a unique shopper visits your deal.

Wait! There’s more!
Great deals require great accuracy, and so we verify the validity of every deal that has been posted. The more accurate your deals, the better your standings, and the more the community benefits. We convey our gratitude by giving out an additional $20 bonus to the most accurate Deal Hunter who has posted at least 25 deals that month. This Deal Hunter may not have posted thousands of deals, but was the most accurate in their postings.

So there it is – Deal Hunting at its finest. Do you have what it takes to be Deal Hunter? Whether you’re sure or not, be sure to check out the Deal Hunting page on Wishabi. We’re sure you won’t be disappointed.
